Author has written 29 stories for Criminal Minds, Mentalist, and Psych. Well, it took me this long to realize I hadn't ever actually entered any profile info. Although I'm not sure what all to put in here-- shows I love: a LOT. Movies I love, a LOT. Music... not even gonna go there, because that's WAY too much. I use fanfic to decompress and remember how to have fun writing. I only play in television sandboxes because TV shows tend to have evolving story lines and multiple writers, so therefore I don't feel as if I'm stomping on anyone's creative baby. I tend to stay within canon as much as possible and don't venture into out-of-character territory, because it is someone else's sandbox after all and I like to try to respect those boundaries. I'm a relationship/romance junkie and I love playing the "What if?" game with the characters, imagining scenes that we, as viewers, aren't seeing, but that could conceivably occur and it wouldn't break with what we know of the characters. Boy, this really makes me sound like a massive stick-in-the-mud, but I'm only this hyper-critical with myself, I promise. 'Verses for which I've written stories: Criminal Minds, Hawaii Five-0 (new flavor), Mentalist, & psych. Oh, and way, way back when, I cut my teeth on writing Angel fanfic. For awesome psych fics featuring Lassiter/O'Hara and Lassiter/Vick, read Loafer's work. Actually, just read her work, period. | |||||||
1. Dress Blues » reviewsPost "Mr. Yin Presents..." Carlton held Juliet as she fell apart, but who took care of him? Karen/Carlton. Fictional. Imagine that. On a site called FanFICTION-dot-net. If you do not like this pairing, I politely invite you to skip the story. If you're open-minded, come on in. Sorry for the snarkery, but there's been some unnecessarily ugly backlash of late.Psych - Rated: T - English - Friendship/Romance - Chapters: 4 - Words: 11,762 - Reviews: 14 - Updated: 5-22-13 - Published: 4-22-13 - Carlton L. & K.

EDIT: Well, the muse demanded more, as did several of you, so who am I to argue? Still don't know exactly what it is.
