Abandon hope, all ye who enter here.

Hell and Back is incomplete and right now, I don't think it's likely I'll ever finish it in the X-Files version. For various reasons of my own, I find it impossible to write the characters that Chris Carter now gives us.

However, there's a lot of it completed before the fourth season. And a lot of people who want to see it, so here it is. Warnings up front - I'm rating this one NC-17 for sex, violence, language and any other old warped things I could come up with. No rock and roll however. No songs in this story. Mulder and Scully belong to Chris Carter. No question. I borrowed them a while back and now he can keep them. Barrett, Belasco and Hell House belong to Richard Matheson. I've borrowed them from his 1973 novel, Hell House. No infringement intended, no profit gained. Ty, Harry, and the rest belong to me and I'm likely to reuse them. They're mine! All mine! Heheheheheh. Whoops. Sorry. Back to our regularly scheduled intro note.

I sincerely hope you enjoy this story if you're over 18. If you're under 18 I hope you follow official EMXC policy. Any email is welcome. I love commentary over my morning coffee. I love death threats too, as readers of Corpse remember, so if that's your flavor of the day just get creative and let me know about it. Thanks!

"Hell & Back" is *INCOMPLETE*... Goo has no plans to finish it, but she has graciously offered to let us offer it up to the membership as a challenge to finish the work. The rules will be simple... Finish it. Goo has the final and only say in which submission she feels should be the "official" ending. All submissions will come to me (SciNut), and I will forward them to Goo. We may post all the submissions to the challenge page but more than likely I will *mail* ONLY Goo's choice.
