ciachick711's choice of terminology from last year about where/how to post the story: "If you don't have a livejournal, I also require that you have a place to post your story that's not The Place where FanFic goes to die (aka FanFiction.net). I recommend Black, White, and Red."*For information about writing in a ficathon, check out this great resource: Celli's Survival Guide to Challenges and Ficathons.

Prompt:
Dana Scully: Well, it seems to me that the best relationships-- the ones that last-- are frequently the ones that are rooted in friendship.

And the person who was just a friend is... suddenly the only person you can ever imagine yourself with.
