Hope you don't mind I'm truncating my intro a bit. I started watching CM reruns last spring, sporadically, but when my DVR started taping the A&E reruns I began watching four-five eps at a time and became irrevocably hooked. I darted to Best Buy to pick up the existing boxed sets and pre-ordered the fourth. I've now seen the entire series to date. Yeah, in like a month. That's how I roll when I pick up a new fandom. In for a penny, in for a pound.

I also seem to be in the unfortunate position of shipping Reid/Prentiss, which NO ONE else seems to do, which puzzles me since to me it seems like a great pairing. Since I'm a longtime and inveterate fanfic writer (I'm a freelance writer and novelist IRL) naturally I've begun a grand epic fic which I hope to start posting soon...I hope someone will be interested in it!

I'd also like to find a beta who is more familiar with the CM fandom and has writing cred to help me prep it, if anyone is interested.

I also made an icon last night because I felt like it. Feel free to gank and credit.

Hi! Great to have you in the fandom. I know you (by name only) from another fandom we have in common and (I believe) a mutual friend. I'm excited to have you writing for us, even if I don't ship Emily/Reid. :-)

We have a few. Common fandom is HP (or was, I am no longer "in" the fandom) and friends, we have a few. [livejournal.com profile] mjryan, [livejournal.com profile] likebunnies, [livejournal.com profile] abigail89...may be some others. :-)

Same here. In fact, HP introduced me to fandom and all it's wonderful and dysfunctional glory, and brought me to LJ (Mel actually got me here). I have much to thank it for but I also haven't written any fic for it or done anything else in the fandom since Half-Blood Prince came out. It was wonderful for a time but its time has passed.

The Criminal Minds fandom is so very different (and so much smaller!). It's such a fabulous show, though. Great characters to play with.

Also, I LOVE your icon. <3 That used to be the title of my journal when I first joined LJ!

Reid/Prentiss, represent! I adore them.

Are you still looking for a beta? What exactly do you require? I know the show very well ;), and I'm good with flow, sentence structure and extreme attention to detail. I'm not great at plot or pacing. You're welcome to PM or email (in my profile) me if any of that sounds useful.

Also, welcome!

Spencer/Emily is my fave!

I just finished watching Season two last night (two seasons in two weeks, I'm starting to think I am in sorry need of a social life lol), and I think Spencer and Emily would be a rather adorable couple.

And love the icon, might find use for it at some point. Will credit of course.

Hi again, Lori! Can't wait to read your fic!

Welcome! I'm sorta stuck between shipping Reid/Prentiss, and Hotch/Prentiss.
In a chat on CMF, I nearly died when Paget joked that "she should develop a crush on Hotch or something" next season, haha. Which reminds me, I read a really good "undercover" fanfic for H/P once.

I found some R/P fanfic awhile back... I'll see if I can find it again, because it was really well-written.

I wish I had time to offer as your beta, but it sucks, because I'm already tied up beta-ing for a couple of other people.

Anyway - you are SOOO not the only Reid/Prentiss shipper. It makes me feel weird - because Reid always seems so damned young - but they'd make an awesome pairing.

And I am looking forward to your fic, in all its grand epic-ness (is there any better kind?).

Lol, Fi.

P.S. You have made me realise I have NO CM icons. I have alleviated this by ganking yours. I will credit, of course.
