Dear Frank,I’m writing to you because a French friend of mine and I have arranged an auction for Gillian’s OTSK.We are selling two drawings made by us and the funds we raise will be given entirely to Gillian’s OTSK.The auction is arranged on a French forum: http://x-filesmemories.actifforum.com/ and you have to register on this forum to bid for the auction (here there is a video made by a friend

Hello again,I know this question has been asked before, by me for one, but I was hoping that this time around you would have a different answer then previously. Have you and Chris Carter spoken about writing any "X-Files" novels in the near future? While we are all hoping for another movie, I know that us "X-Files" fans would love to get our hands on anything new with Mulder and Scully especially

The third phase of the XF3 Army: Believe in the Future Campaign has been unveiled.What's an Army without an uniform? Wearing the identity of the movement makes you feel part of it, right? Well, its about time the XF3 Army begins to dress to impress!So that's why we're calling all phile designers to be part of it!

Frank, I thought you would want to know that phase two of the "Believe in the Future" campaign has reached 100 videos on YouTube and is showing no signs of stopping! If you would permit me, I would like to publicly thank all of the vidders for their amazing support of this project and their unwavering dedication and talent.They have truly kept this fandom alive and XFN is very proud of all of

Frank,I've been rewatching my "X-Files" DVDs and most recently saw "Paper Clip", which is my all-time favorite episode. To this day, I have no idea what's happening when Mulder and Scully are in the mountain cave in West Virginia -- the one with the files of individuals born since 1950.Why was a UFO seemingly there, and more importantly, why were a number of aliens running past Scully in the

The great Mark Snow will be conducting music from "Millennium" and "The X-Files" on July 18 at Fimucité, a music festival on Tenerife in the Canary Islands. Mark's program will feature extended versions of the "Millennium" and "X-Files" themes, as well as music from the episode "The Post-Modern Prometheus" and several pieces from the first and second movies. You can see the program at

Hi Frank,This is the first time that I'm writing to you.After having seen many beautiful fan videos on YouTube, two months ago I decided to become a vidder. Well, I’m still a beginner vidder, but I try to do my best.Unfortunately, I’ve already had problems with YT: two of my videos have been deleted due to Fox copyrights. Lately YT complicates vidders’ lives: many videos are taken down or without

Hi,I haven't wrote you in some time but I just finished watching the first "X-Files" movie and couldn't help but think about your plans for "X-Files 3." Based on what you have previously stated you and Chris Carter pretty much have an outline for the next movie. I was wondering if your plans include the return of Armin Mueller-Stahl as Strughold. He seems to be the only remaining member of the

Good day, Frank. I've always loved watching episodes of E! True Hollywood Stories of E! and other shows of it. I've just wondered if E! have actually tried to feature 'The X-Files' on the True Hollywood Stories because I've seen they've already done: "24," "Friends," "The Women of 'Sex and The City'" and a few other TV shows. I'm really hoping they'd feature TXF soon... or at least GA or DD.

Dear Frank,I don’t want you to be worried for your aspiring adopted daughter, so here I am writing to you. =)I just got back from London after a great weekend with a few phile buddies: it was absolutely amazing! It’s always nice to see so many "X-Files" fans gathered at the same time in the same place.The occasion was Gillian’s play, “A Doll’s House," that we all wanted to see. And I can say that

Dear Frank,Last Sunday seventeen fans met in Regent’s Park, London, on a gloriously sunny day. They were from all across the UK, from the USA and from Australia. They got to know each other on Facebook last year, in the run up to the release of "I Want to Believe." Many of them met for the first time at the UK premiere of the film, thanks to your generous ticket giveaway. This June, not even

Dear Frank,It is always a sad day when we lose another of our extended family and the "Millennium" fan community at TIWWA and all the team at BackToFrankBlack wish to pay our tributes to the wonderful lady that was Lorena Gale. We, of course, remember her for her wonderful work on "Millennium" 'Sacrament' but we have continued to follow the careers of all those who contributed to "Millennium" and

I check the blog pretty regularly, and I'll shamelessly admit -- it's pretty much just to see if there's any XF3 news. I know you haven't heard anything, and don't really know anything about the future, but I guess my question is -- is there something they (Fox) are waiting for? I've heard mentions of overseas sales, DVD sales, even the success of the 2012 movie. Is it actually that Fox is

Lorena Gale passed away on Sunday after a brief but courageous battle with stomach cancer. Her husband John was by her side. A wonderful actress and a lovely person, Lorena's many credits included the Ten Thirteen productions "The X-Files," "Millennium" and "The X-Files: I Want To Believe." In lieu of flowers the family asks that donations be made to Vancouver General Hospital's Palliative

Hello, Mr. Spotnitz!We would like to tell you that a few days ago we have received the most incredible gift that an X-phile can only dream of! It was the best book ever, with the autographs of the most important people of the X-Files world.First of all we would like to give the BIGGEST thanks to the remarkable X-philes Perla and Avi from XFN -- without them we could never have received this

Hi Frank,It is my first time writing, and I just wached the episode "Per Manum" and I love it. I am just wondering did Gillian and David ever do an unscripted kiss for that episode?Thank you very much from South Africa, Marni(Sorry for grammar and spelling mistakes -- English is my second language. And by the way, I loved "I Want To Believe.")Ke rata x files is Sotho for "I love X-Files"Ek is

I just read a post here on the Big Light blog from a fan who brought up the different angles of the various Mulder and Scully kisses over the years of the show, and I had to chime in. It would be completely awesome if we could one day get to see those! I’m sure you have some idea of how many “shippers” there are out there. There should be some sort of DVD released that focuses on the relationship

Dear Frank,I hope you will allow me to take this opportunity to inform your readers of a very special edition of our Millennium Group Sessions Podcast that was released on Sunday, June 21. Klea Scott, Emma Hollis herself, spoke exclusively to BackToFrankBlack about her recollection of her time on "Millennium" for the first time since she provided the Season Three DVD commentary almost a decade

The XF3 Army is going strong with over 80 videos so far submitted to the "Believe in the Future" campaign. XFN has pledged to deliver every single video, along with the campaign postcards, to 20th Century Fox at the close of the campaign in November. XFN would also like to remind everyone that the countdown to "IWTB Week" has begun!Join us this summer as we kick the "Believe in the Future"

Hi, Frank!I’ve gotta tell ya –- I’m watching the television premiere of IWTB on HBO right now (naturally) and I’m feelin’ it all over again. Not that I haven’t watched so often on Blu-Ray, but watching it on TV, regular television, like when the show aired, just brings all the emotions home again, back to that first Friday night. I am all a-flutter still and, at the risk of sounding trite, needed

Hey Frank!!! How are you??Did you see the news? The inventor of the "Magic Fingers" bed, John Joseph Houghtaling, died at the age of 92. I am sure you remember this invention, for it was part of one of the iconic episodes, "Bad Blood!" This was mentioned in the Daily Finance article! And I quote, "As one obituary noted, the vibrating bed caused a beer bottle to explode in the movie 'Trains,

I was just watching some episodes of the 2005's "Night Stalker" -- and I still think ABC made a huge mistake taking it off the air so quickly. I was wondering: Is there any possibility of reviving "Night Stalker?" I was a fan of the original, but I really thought the 2005 version was inspired. I can watch those 10 episodes many times and they are still fresh and have a creative bent in their
