This Christmas Challenge


This year's challenge will be pretty bare-bones on required elements: your challenge, if you choose to accept it, is to write a fic set this Christmas with an important (to the plot of your story) character who is between ages 0-19 or is pregnant.

Beyond those two requirements, you're free to write whatever you please. Picture it, it could be anything: a reunion with William; a world a year post-col; Doggett and Reyes relaxing with their kids or Mulder and Scully with all five of theirs; poor Kryeck is still alive but knocked up or maybe it's Emily still alive and home for the holidays; your vision for a third movie set this Christmas; Maggie works with a children's home etc... basically whatever you imagine happening for Christmas 2013, go ahead and let your imagination go wild! Feel free to combine this challenge with any of the others on the site too.

500 words or more would be awesome, but not required. Please submit your story or the link to it by December 28th. nurseryfiles@mulderscreek.com
