The FCG is a website designed for open critique and review of fanfictions throughout the internet. I originally got the idea from a similar group run through fanlib.com. Though I didn't like the setup of it there and the lack of focus on popular fandoms I did like the idea. So, I took it upon myself to create a group I could more enjoy.

Wanting to start out small for a while I took my idea to the moderators at Talk CSI and was whole-heartedly supported there. Several months have passed since then and the group has grown to be far more of a success than I ever imagined. That's something that makes me very happy--obviously. We've moved since then and have developed a lot of fun new fascets.

All fanfiction fandoms are be welcome for critique here as well as all fanfiction ratings.

If there are any questions please feel free to PM me.

About Me:

I’m twenty-two and I can’t believe it. Last time I checked I was like fifteen. I’m a senior in college. I moved to the mountains because they’re beautiful. My nephews are the love of my life. My brother is one of my best friends. I’m a girl and proud of it. I believe in God. I want to get married and have children someday. I believe in fairy tales. I believe in magic. I don’t kiss and tell. I love with every fiber of my being. I don’t know the meaning of the word ‘hate.’ I believe in the basic element of goodness in everyone. I like taking showers. I love my dog. I am a Jersey Girl. I like to stay in.

I like... Long walks at night, holding hands, kissing in the rain, reading by lamplight before I go to bed, reading one last chapter before I get up for the day, writing, singing along to my music in the car, lyrics that really say something, movies,slow dancing, music, spring time, musicals, old movies, fanfiction, grammar, old photographs, CSI Sundays, mountains, family vacations, puppies, kitties, singing in the rain, dancing like a fool, laughing, smiling, the New York Yankees, and cuddling with my cat.

I dislike...Cold showers, people who don't bathe, Will Farrell movies, the bad guys in kid’s movies, going out every night of the week, waking up to an empty bed, missing CSI on Thursdays, sweating, mowing the lawn, diet soda, and people who story alert but don’t leave a review.

I love to read... I love movies... I love television... I love Broadway...

Who I’d take to dinner:

My 12th grade AP English teacher used to say, we should pick three people from history that we’d take to dinner, and have a conversation with if we could. People we’d like to learn more about. My people are as follows.

L. F. Baum. I have hundreds of questions about the land of Oz that only he could answer. I’d like to know what he thinks about Wicked. Well, there truly are thousands of things. Not to mention his books are wonderful.

S. Morganstern. Well that would mean that he really existed and my soul wouldn't have to hurt anymore, knowing that he was a fabrication. That was a cruel trick played on society by William Goldman and I'm pretty displeased about it.

Jonathan Larson. This man was pure Genius. I think it’s a tragedy that he died so young, I just wish I would have the chance to thank him. RENT changed a generation as well as my life.

My heroes:

Oscar Wilde, Freddy Mercury, Tracie Thoms, Janis Joplin, Jonathan Larson, and Gregory Maguire.
