The raw emotion was great. Poor Morgan.

[thefrogg]

Poor poor Morgan. At least he's finally finally getting it beaten into his thick skull that it really is over, that anything else his experiences do to him is up to him and under his control.

Okay--I have got to convince you to write longer fic. You keep stopping too soon! ;)

[thefrogg]

!!!

Longer?! I write what my muse tells me!

While I agree that there should be more to A Logical Constant in the form of what, exactly, Reid did write, I think most of the ficlets would lose some or much of their impact if I let them drag on longer.

Besides, it's much more satisfying all around for me to be able to sit down, write a ficlet like this, and finish and post it the same day, instead of writing the first three chapters of some huge epic and then abandoning it.:P

[jalabert]

You're right, of course. I'm teasing. You create strong tension with your abrupt endings.

I am more inclined to write long stories, some of which exceed two hundred pages. But it takes as much skill to tell a tale in one page as it does to tell it in book length. Keep writing your little gems. :)

[thefrogg]

Sometimes I can't tell. And sometimes I'm just too out of it to be reading comments...like then, since apparently I can't even make lemonade from mix.::grumble::

I wish I had the sticktoitiveness to write novel-length fic. I could actually write the novel I've had simmering in the back of my head for the last few years.

So these 'little gems' will have to suffice.

The second-to-last line was nothing short of incredible. I could feel it, just the raw emotion...

As usual, excellent work. Can't wait for more!

[thefrogg]

I'd originally thought to have a follow-up scene where Garcia was checking up on them, and her warning Hotch and Gideon not to barge in on them, but thought that might be too much.

Although, I do kinda wonder about the whole 'hands off' approach the rest of the team has when it comes to Morgan and what he has to be going through after Profiler, Profiled...

Thanks! I'm trying...

wow that was really good

[thefrogg]

Thanks!

I love Reid being angry at Morgan for Morgan. Maybe just what Morgan needs.

[thefrogg]

Yeah, it is. I was kind of pissed that there weren't any aftereffects to Profiler, Profiled (that I noticed, anyways) in the show.

Now I'm trying to decide if Morgan's man enough to break down in front of Hotch.::crosses her eyes::
