If I was a criminal, I'd be... Uncatchable

My penchant for crime shows is a bit funny, considering I'm civilian police staff in real life. But I only watch American shows and mostly federal agencies, so that it's less likely I'm going to complain about all the procedural mistakes *g*

I've written fanfic since 2001, first in Stargate SG1 and The Sentinel fandoms and more recently in Numb3rs fandom. I've tended to be mono-fannish in the past, but have been branching out more lately, with fics in both NCIS and NCIS:LA fandoms. I recommend smallfandomfest for a good source of CM prompts, if you're looking for ideas. I've got a prompt I picked up there I hope to write soon.

My favourite CM character is David Rossi, but I like most of them, although I'm not a fan of the recent super!Emily developments I'm seeing.

One of the other reasons why I love this show is because I have 99% of a degree in psychology (one final exam to pass). So it really is a busman's holiday for me ;-)

Hope to get to know you all soon!

(PS my fic can be found at alf_fic as my personal LJ is flocked)

Violence affects those who care about the victim almost as much if not as much as it affects the victim, which is something most shows gloss over or ignore. Criminal Minds has always been different, showing the full effects of violence ("Limelight" and "The Last Word" as the most heart-wrenching examples). I give props to the show writers for having Emily made "different" by what Foyet did to Hotch, especially since she isn't doing anything we haven't already seen Hotch already do at one time or another ("Mayhem," "Shades of Gray").
