Welcome to RATales, the mailing list for the posting, discussion, and recommendation of X-Files fanfic featuring the character of Alex Krycek.

The TV show may be gone, but the character of Alex Krycek lives on in the imagination of list members. Feel free to discuss episodes he has appeared in, what his true motivations are, what his ties are to the Syndicate, why he looks great in leather, and whether or not he's truly evil -- or just misunderstood.

Check out the Links section to find out even more about our favorite Ratboy, from fanfic to photo manipulations to websites celebrating Nick Lea.

Members must be at least 17 years of age to join. The list allows the posting of NC-17 fanfic of all persuasions, including slash.

New writers are encouraged to join and share their works with us. We offer a friendly, supportive place to post fiction and talk about one of the greatest X-Files characters ever created, Alex Krycek.
