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.

I didn't think I'd be able to do the necessary research to post here--I take my fanfic very seriously indeed (g)-- but you mentioned Tree's "Alchemy" and I remembered this:

"You. You're mine. They gave you to me and I'm not giving you back. I don't quite know what to do with you, but I'm not giving you back."

Mulder's inner voice being territorial. I quite like territorial.
