This is a truly outstanding primer! I love the show, but rarely read the fiction. I guess I'll have to start reading more, now :-)

Thank you!

It can be tough to find good stories, I know. There are definitely quite a bit out there though.

Woohoo! Criminal Minds. :)

This is a great recap of the show. And Reid, he so is the LBD of the fandom, isn't he? Bless him. I love Reid.

Reid is so terrific that I frequently flail whenever he appears.

I love the show, but good fan fic is hard to come by for some reason.
