Family portrait gallery. Maggie Scully, the actor who played Jackson as a younger teen, a preschool boy, and a redhead baby

Revival Revised Challenge

In this challenge you will be asked to select one or more X-Files seasons 10 and/or 11 episodes to reimagine. Your revision of this episode/these episodes should include all of the following changes from canon:

  1. Mulder and Scully are still a couple as your story begins
  2. Mulder and Scully got William back between I Want to Believe and My Struggle I (your choice of if he goes by Jackson or William again)
  3. Between I Want to Believe and My Struggle I Mulder and Scully have given William at least one younger sibling, via any means you'd like
  4. Maggie Scully lives with the family

You may, of course, change the episode in question in other ways too, as long as these 4 differences are part of your story.

Note: you can approach this challenge as to re-write an episode with the inclusion of the 4 changes listed above, or you can use the episode(s) as the backdrop of a story which would be primarily be composed of "missing" scenes of other stuff that happened during the same timeframe as the investigation of the episode's case (with at least some inclusion of the canon episode material).

Please submit your story or the link to it to nurseryfiles@mulderscreek.com, post it on our submissions Tumblr, or send me a message with a link to your story on your own Tumblr so I can reblog it
