==Fannish response==
In the 1990s during the original run of The X-Files there were often fan wars between Duchovny fans and Gillian Anderson fans.
The message board David Duchovny Fans still contains a section now called "Boxing Ring" (formerly known as the Dumpster) which is reserved for trashing mainly Anderson and Chris Carter. Duchovny defenders would also troll the Gillian Anderson message board on IMDB.
In 1995 Duchovny was votes Hunk of the Year at Mountain Media Con.
===Bree Sharp's 'David Duchovny, why don't you love me?===
In 1999 singer/songwriter release a musical homage to Duchovny called "David Duchovny, Why Won't You Love Me". For the Ten Thirteen Productions Christmas party that year, the editorial department of The X-Files produced a music video that features several prominent people from The X-Files as well as popular celebrities from the 1990s like Jerry Springer, Rosie O'Donnell, Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Pamela Anderson and others.
Reportedly, the idea for the music video came from Gillian Anderson.
Singer-songwriter Bree Sharp turned a fan obsession with David Duchovny into a record deal with her witty ode to Fox's fox. "The song is about David, but it's also about the way fantasy and reality blur," Sharp says. "And how giddy, hot and excellent that can be."
Sharp created a remake for the song for the X-Files Revival titled " David Duchovny, Why Won't You Love Me (The Reboot)" in 2016.[https://youtu.be/TC149avtplQ BREE SHARP - David Duchovny, Why Won't You Love Me (The Reboot) by

====RPF====
Duchovny is primarily shipped with his X-Files co-star Gillian Anderson in X-Files RPF. In the usenet groups like Alt.tv.x-files this behaviour was usually being frowned on by X-Philes in 1990s (see Snogger), but since the 2000s with the arrival of new and younger fans this seems to become more mainstream. These fans no longer consider themselves snoggers and tried to establish the name Gillovny for the pairing.
