OMG - I srsly have no words to what this has done to the canon going on in my brain.

A great twist in the story and rather scary/terrifying/creepy to think he's been watching Cho and Jane - even if it were a one off event. Very clever way of writing the scene between these two using surveillance as well and a great use of RJ character voice! Plus a step into the possibilities of Kristina and the season finale. You write her really well (and considering we share a mutual - shall we say - strong dislike for the woman, I'm loving that you got her down so well in words). But now I hate her even more because she told RJ about their realtionship.

Now I have to go away and process this! Because it was brilliant and I loved it and will yup have to read it over again.

Oh and the letter - what are you just trying to push my brain fodder of this non-canon-but-totally-canon pairing into overload?

*cackles*

This is definitely taking an interesting shape of head-canon for me. Makes me nervous to start watching the 3rd season. :p Though cedara got me to watch the trailer for 3x03 and omg. :O

Anywho, oh Kristina... h8 u. At some point I'm gonna do a "5 times" fic about how she dies XD XD XD And how she ended up here in this series... is creepy and satisfying. Yay for the muses helping me out! :D

I look forward to when we get to chat again. I'd love to do some story ideas bouncing around. You just have to be prepared for some of the creepier/darker ideas that are filtering around lately. :p Happy endings are, of course, my preferred choice, but character torture is always well and good.... right?

Ohgodyes. Your Red John is awesome, your Kristina makes me want to slap her across the room (which is about my usual reaction to her in canon...) and Cho/Jane... Guh.

I'm totally supposed to be plotting out my NaNo, but I saw this, and I'm so glad I read it. I haven't been able to watch either of the new episodes without watching for Cho/Jane moments and it's all your fault (Thank you!)

:3 Now that's an awesome response!

LOL! So flipping true! I hate her, drr. Honestly I haven't rewatched the S2 finale because I was so mad at her the first time round. Just looking at screencaps makes me want to scream "DIAF Kristina!" lol

'm totally supposed to be plotting out my NaNo...
Pfft, that's still like a month away. Then again, I'm a "wing it" kinda gal and I need to get through octoberwriting first. ;)

Re: S3 - just don't spoil me! I haven't watched any yet. In fact, it's amazing that Cedara even got me to watch the promo for this week's. :o So it's possible I might watch soon... but still... I really don't want to screw up the "fic canon" I have going with this particular series yet. ;)

I AM SO PLEASED I AM KEEPING CHO/JANE IN YOUR HEAD! :D

Icon love.

Re: NaNo plotting, if I don't outline to the point of insanity, I tend to get about ten pages in and stall. >.< And 50,000 words just does not fit into 10 pages and remain readable. :P

lol No problem :p

I needed some kickass icons for other members of The Mentalist. ;)

I guess I can outline, but only in the barest bones manner, and only after I've started writing. If I do intense and something too far ahead of time I have no desire to flesh it out because in my head it was done. :p

All I know at this point? 98% sure it'll be Mentalist story (thus Cho/Jane) ;) That's it. Too much time before Nov. comes to tell what'll be in my head.
