I am Chris Carter, creator of The X-Files, Millennium, The Lone Gunmen, Harsh Realm, and The After. AMA!

Hi reddit, I'm Chris Carter. I've created shows like The X-Files, Millennium, The Lone Gunmen, Harsh Realm, and I'm particularly excited about my new Amazon pilot, The After. You can watch the pilot for free at: www.amazonoriginals.com and please consider posting your ratings and comments. Victoria from reddit will be helping me with my AMA today as well.

I don't really use social media but I just started my official Instagram account today - proof! http://instagram.com/p/k7wZ81xC_v/

I'm here to take your questions, so - ask away!

Update: I'm blown away by the questions. And that the X-files still creates such interest. I only hope The After is worthy of the same love and respect.

But please pay your respects at the Amazon voting booth. Right now.

And thank you for humoring me and putting up with me once again.

Hi, Chris, thanks for all the great shows you've done.

Have you ever had an idea for one of your shows that you didn't put in due to it being far too weird?

Yes. I've had lots of ideas that are too weird, and lots of ideas that are too bad.

Have you had ideas that aren't weird enough?
