Author has written 28 stories for Castle, and NCIS.

Here are a few things about me and the fics that I like to write or read.

I am new to writing Castle fics but I have watched the show from the beginning.

I started writing these stories on my phone while waiting for my two boys to get out of school one day.

I absolutely adore Christmas fics and holiday ones in general.

I don't mind mature themes but I do mind character death fics. I read to escape life, I don't need them to depress me.

I love reviews but I don't always remember to leave them for others. I am working on rectifying that though.

My spelling absolutely sucks, thank goodness for spell check.

I read for some other fandoms also but it's unlikely that I will write for them. I used to write (with a different pen name) for another fandom years ago but got out of it when I had kids and my favorite character left the show. When I first discovered this site about 10 years ago, I usually liked the non-traditional pairings but now, I seem to only do the 'normal ones.' For the most part at least.

If you ever have a comment or critique about one of my stories, please contact me directly. I would like to try to fix something if you have a problem with it, if it is something I can fix. If you don't let me know who you are, I can't contact you back.

My story Justice for Kate won the popular vote in the Case based Fic category of the 2011 Castle Fan Awards. Thanks everyone for the votes!


Update 6/10/12

Gee a year since the last profile update. Oops. A few things real quick. You can find me on Twitter, Archive of Our Own (AO3) and blogspot. I am CharlieOKelley on each of those sites so it should be easy to find me. I will be adding my stories to my blog and AO3 gradually, starting with the M rated stories. I also am looking into get a personal webpage, I like those better than blogs. Maybe I am just weird like that, and yes, I write the html out myself.

I am still working on lots of different stories some are cowritten with a friend. Teach Me More is one of them. I also need to finish up Recovering from Guilt which was my post Season 3 finale fic. I am also working on a post Season 4 finale fic but I won't start posting it until it is finished. There were other things that I wanted to mention but now I can't remember what they are.

Update 5/1/11

Geez, it's May already. Boy does time fly. I am desperately working on as many stories as I can before school is out for the summer, also known as "don't let Mommy write" time. I am finishing up a M rated story called Murder at the Toy Store, and I will soon be posting a story that I will need your help with. I will explain it fully when I post the first chapter, but basically, you tell me which way the story goes and I will try to do that.

Update 4/1/11

Not an April Fool's Joke. I have several stories in the works and hopefully this weekend I will have time to focus on my writing instead of everything else that is going on. Unfortunately, the kids have break all next week so I don't know how much I'll be able to write then. I am really hoping to work more on the Justice for Kate story but I keep getting distracted by another story I have been pondering. That other story, so far unnamed, will be coming soon but I will need my readers help with it. You will understand what I mean when I post it. I think it will be fun.

BTW, following other's leads, I have set up a Twitter account for my stories. I will try to update when I can (I need to get it to work on my phone since it's usually so much easier to upload there than the desktop.) You can find me as CharlieOKelley. Hope to see you there.

Update 3/27/2011

The M-Rated chapter for Submitting to Trust has been uploaded as a unique story. I wanted to keep the rest of it in the T-rated section and this new part is definately M-Rated. I am still working on trying to recover some files to be able to post the next chapters of Justice for Kate. Hopefully, I will have it recovered and then at a good stopping spot by tomorrow. It might end up being a short chapter at first while I get the rest of the story fleshed out. Thanks loads to everyone for being patient with me.

This is my take on what I wish would happen in the finale. I know that it won't but damn, wouldn't it be nice if it did? I haven't seen the sneak peek, just the previews that were at the end of Pretty Dead. So as long as you have seen those previews,
