What is your favorite Aaron Hotchner episode? "The Tribe" for the 'Captain America' reference mainly. '100' for everything Hotch in it.
Is there a part of Aaron's life that you wish got more focus? I'd love for his background to be filled out/clarified a little more.
What is Hotch's most striking character trait? His consistency. With a few major exceptions, he typically sticks to his usual actions. You know almost exactly what to expect from him.
What is your favorite Hotch scene? I love almost any scene with good Rossi/Hotch interaction. I love how Rossi brings out sides of him that we otherwise haven't seen- the close friend, the junior agent, etc.
What do you think makes Hotch an integral part of the BAU? No one does it like him. That simple!
For writers, how do you portray Hotch? Are there aspects of his life that are not on the show that you incorporate into your fiction? Do you stick pretty close to what the show portrays with regard to his character? For me (and while this applies to all the characters, it is especially true of Hotch) I have to write him in a way that I could see play out onscreen. Even if the topic isn't one that would be addressed exactly on the show, his words and actions have to FEEL like they could be canon.
For readers, how do you like your Hotch portrayed? Stoic and serious? A family man? Do you prefer him in danger or saving the day? I'm only slightly more lenient in my reading. I'll allow for a tiny bit of creative license, but if it doesn't read like the Hotch I know, I'm done reading.
What do you think makes Hotch tick? I think he just wants to do the right thing- no matter what that is- in any given situation.
