200 Members!
Today, on 10/13, we hit 200 members, 263 watchers, and I have no idea how many lurkers. Usually when communities hit a milestone, the mod offers up special treats to celebrate, but I'm afraid I have no such thing. I make bad icons, I can't write comment fic.
Recently at The X-Files Lost and Found Board, a community I mostly lurk at, someone suggested people tell their favorite quote from a fanfic. I thought it was a cool idea, so I'd thought I'd try to start it up here.
Mine is from "Synesthesia" by haphazard method, which you can read at Gossamer.
"I searched forever. Like a madman. And all I found was that a Ph.D and years of investigative training were completely useless. One day you simply reappeared in the hospital. The only thing I could do was sit by your bed and hope beyond reason that you heard me or felt me, and that you would come back to me."
Long story short, this is the quote that inspired me to start writing fanfiction.
Your turn.

"...and I tilt her chin and kiss her briefly and she smiles because the world hasn't ended but
it moves, oh, it moves."
and just to make you feel that you are there with them on the sidewalk outside the nightclub:
"She tips her head back, wryly amused. They stand toe to toe, their hands in their coat pockets, eyeing each other in challenge. Prickly Scully -she gives love a run for its money with her fuck-me clothes and her fuck-you demeanor. Yet at times she makes him feel that he is finally getting something right in his life."
Happy, happy days when there was still all those great stories still to read!
