The Melissketeers are an America Online based group of X-Philes who are fans of the character Melissa Scully and the actress who portrays her, Melinda McGraw. We were founded in August of 1995, a small but loyal group (Billy, Em, Magpie, Meeshy, Nita, Paul, Tale, Tridee, and Vel) who spent most of their time defending Melissa on the AOL X-Files Forum message boards. As the group began to grow and expand, we gained our own folder in the message boards, a weekly Melissa chat in the Forum chat room, several private chats, and a newsletter, as well as many new members. Currently, there are over one hundred Melissketeers across the Internet- quite an expansion from the original nine.

As our size has expanded, so have our interests. Although we are still primarily a Melissa Scully fan group, many of us are or have become fans of Melinda McGraw and other roles she's portrayed. Die-hard X-Philes and admirers of Melinda alike are welcome among the Melissketeers.
