Hope you all don't mind me jumping into the Elle parade, but I seriously agree with all of you. I don't understand why most people really don't like Elle anymore (or at all), because what some people hated about her - I liked about her. I still want Elle to reappear, at least once, if not only because of the amazing parallels between herself and Hotch at the moment. Plus it would be interesting to see how she and Prentiss react to each other...

Also, regarding the fanfiction game - I've got an Elle-centric virtual series up here: http://vbctv.com/index.php?option=com_wrapper&view=wrapper&Itemid=478

The general premise in in the "About" section, but it takes place two years after she leaves behind the mothership.
