They Came from Planet Xulfanex: Difference between revisions

<i>Xulfanex</i> was a fic written as a response to a challenge by other fanfic authors to write something "over the top," while Wild in turn challenged themothers to write something "realistic." Wild first premiered it in several parts on the [[Paperpusher's Message Board|PPMB]] in late winter/early spring of 2004, before revising and distributing it to other fan sites. Although the fanfic is a stand-alone, it ties into Wild's [[Driven Wild Universe]] continuum, taking place shortly after the events of [[Memory Road]].

Quinn learns that her math teacher, [[Alfred Phelps|Mr. Phelps]] is really an alien frombounty another planethunter, after another of his species who was guilty of "terrorizing" their planet. Before long, Quinnshe and Daria discover that Phelps's prey is none other than their father, Jake Morgendorffer! Which means that Quinn and Daria are part-alien, with strong powers that are only beginning to manifest themselves. Can the Morgendorffers stay a step ahead of Phelps, who is determined to stop them at all costs? And can Quinn keep the secret of a terrible crime to herself?

* Wild wrote this fanfic before she knew how the Driven Wild Universe would conclude, and in some ways meant for the resolution between Quinn and Mr. Phelps to be a stand-in for her series. The following year, she finally wrote the last DWU installments of her series, [[Into the Fire]] and [[MemoryTomorrow Never RoadKnows]].
