OOH. I would like more of this, please and thank you. *chinhands*

[sodakey]

Thank you so much. I'll see what I can do. :)

[hairy_flower]

wow. Looks great! I am looking forward the next piece, if you plan it :)

[sodakey]

It's planned. At least for the next few chapters. I'm trying not to make any promises that I can't keep, so ask me no questions and I'll tell you no lies, but I'm hopeful it will be soon. I'm glad you are diggin' it so far.

Whoa, wonderfully done! I too would love to see more of this. You've captured Morgan's concern for Reid beautifully and Hotch's stoicism.

Here's a question for you? What *did* happen to Gideon? Hubby and I watched the early seasons sporadically and not-necessarily-in-order but, over all, I'd say we've seen nearly every ep and yet somehow I've consistently missed the one(s) that led to his leaving.

I wasn't too keen on Mantegna when he started (though I am a fan of the actor), gave him a couple of eps before no longer watching but have picked the show up again and I believe have watched almost every ep this season.

Looking forward to more of Spiral too! Oh, and Happy Holidays to you and yours! :)

[sodakey]

Oh thank you. More be coming. This one's working itself out rather easily, but I don't know that readers are going to... like it, I guess. Who knows? I haven't really looked around in this fandom, but I think I'm like the only gen writer in it

[may7fic]

Hey, thanks for that little summary and I'm delighted to know more is to come :)

Happy New Year!

Have I told you that I love you, because I do, completely and utterly and completely platonically speaking and with none of the crazy psycho part of it. Er . . . heh, you are just so amazing and this story, this story is just, wow. Great, wonderful and if you asked me to jump of a bridge I would only ask which one because that was how good this is. Not to mention . . . a series/novel multi-chapter something and I'm so giddy I'm incoherent so please forgive my babbling and temporary insanity but you have no idea how long I've waiting for a good writer in this fandom and t have that and a series/novel/multi-chapter/part something . . . YAY!!!!!!

[sodakey]

I, uh, love you too. No, seriously, you make me laugh. You have no idea how platonically attractive I find that to be. ;) You should probably rethink giving me the power of directing you towards bridges, though. I'm easily corrupted. Maniacal when I get power which I nearly always use for evil. And, maybe you should wait to be thrilled after the next chapter is up...

Thanks for being so supportive, though. Hope you've had a great week.

[water_soter]

Perhaps, but what better master! Heh! I'm so used to being the overload of evil that becoming someone else's minion might do me some good. You know, a humbling experience and all that, :-P

As for not thanking you yet, well *stares mourfully at Spiral* well, even if I only get one chapter, I will treasure it! It's a sad state of affairs that a well written chapter in this fandom would me worth more than a novel that's only so so.

*stares hungrily at lonely chapter* Well, I'm going to reread it for the fifth time. Me love me new shiny story!!! *hugs story*

Will there be more?

[sodakey]

That's the plan.
