      Some of us are friendshippers, some of us are relationshippers of one variety or another -- some of us want to see a Mulder/Scully relationship occur during the course of the series, while some of us prefer to maintain the slow seduction until the series' end -- but we are all captivated by the intense and uncommon TRUST displayed between the characters.

      Ok do any other shippers out there just feel like becoming a friendshipper. Mulder has turned into the Ass Hole[sic] of the year, and I wouldn't want Scully to take him if he cam[sic] knocking on her door with a dozen red roses, and Diana's head in a box.
