Celebrating Ten Thirteen

Celebrating Ten Thirteen

"Where we're from it's always 10:13!"

It's a phrase philes have heard since XFN's Place video in 2008 and it's every bit as true today as it was then. If there is one day a year that philes celebrate like Christmas or a birthday, it's October 13th. Cakes are baked, X-Files viewing parties are scheduled, and this year, fans have gone the extra mile by taking to twitter to celebrate the man behind it all, X-Filescreator and executive producer, Chris Carter.

10:13 is special for many reasons. It's Carter's birthday, it's Mulder's birthday, and it's the name of Chris Carter's production company, Ten Thirteen productions.

Perhaps even more special, is the meaning that philes give to 10:13: "When one's heart belongs to the same place and time- 10:13 is not an hour, or a date, or a code, or a casefile. 10:13 is a life philosophy. It's the moment where we secretly smile. 10:13, is a state of mind." - XFN Place

Today's Twitter campaign is certainly an example of the love fans have for Chris Carter and Ten Thirteen, and in honor of today, we are sharing a few of those tweets below:
