X files books are gone gone gone.
Mum did a couple of rounds of taking things to charity shops, so the recently weeded box is all done bye bye.
So that's at least a foot of shelf for new things.

I'm sure they're perfectly good books, and somebody somewhere would want them, but I'm also sure I haven't so much as taken them off the shelf in over a decade, and if I want to know fortean stuff I'll look it up other places.

XF reminds me of the 90s so hard it's not fun to visit.
So.
Gone.

I'm reading a fic where the two main characters ought to be about forty, probably, if the Doctor Who reference they just made was any useful timestamp
but they sound weirdly young
and I'm not sure what I'm picking up on that's giving me that impression.

so now I'm going to keep on reading
just to try and narrow down what pings me.

at least when the writer obviously cannot imagine a world pre smartphone there's something specific to point at...
