I also felt there weren't enough choices. In general, I will only read CM fic that is hard-core slash with either Reid/Hotch or Reid/Adam J.

BUT!!! I would probably read gen stuff that was Reid centric IF it didn't involve any actual crime drama and IF it was extremely well-written and IF it was short, say one chapter with a few thousand to around a ten thousand words. I'm talking things I'd like to see Reid's character actually do on the show, like visit his mommy or some other mundane thing like that.

I love the show, so my personal preference in reading fanfic would be to read something that the show lacks, like quiet, drawn-out moments between only two of the characters or with one character (Reid) doing something that he might actually do in the show's reality. That, or hard-core gay sex.

But don't let the seeming lack of gen interest keep you from writing anything you want to write. As you can see, there is interest. And, as it is gen and not slash or het slash, you can post it to other sites as well in order to reach a wider audience where explicit stories aren't always allowed.
