Crimin4l Numb3rs: Master List
Series: Crimin4l Numb3rs
Author: Valerie Vancollie (valeriev84 [at] hotmail.com)
Summary: A new criminal element has arrived in LA; namely the brothers Eppes.
Description: The idea for this series was given to me by fanfictionrules who got it from alleskleber. Once I had the idea, I decided to write it to the word prompts from numb3rs100, going back and starting with their very first one and taking each prompt in turn from there. Each fic in this series will therefore be a drabble of 100, 200 or 300 words.
The series does not flow chronologically, each drabble can instead be from any point in time, slowly weaving together the overall story. Below you will find both a listing of the order the drabbles were published in as well as a listing of the chronological order of the drabbles. Just remember, they were meant to be read in the order they were published in.

Future drabbles that have already been written: #22 Dimensions, #24 Division, #27 Room Key, #28 Chemistry, #29 Encounter, #31 Mix-Up, #42 Words, #43 Manipulation, #46 Fold, #48 Pill, #51 Shift, #52 Own, #65 Burn, #75 Daughter & #88 Toast. Numbers 28, 29, 43, 52 & 65 are part of the same story thread and take place over the course of 24 hours.
Notes: Although the series as a whole is one big story, there will be various subsets of drabbles that will cluster around a certain point in time and go together. These drabbles will not necessarily be posted together as I instead dripple out parcels of info. The Chicago/Illinois references about the cop killing is one such thread.
I have attempted to figure out how far I shall go into the numb3rs100 prompts but at this point I really don't know. On some level I want to go for the first 100 as it would be poetic, but I'm not sure if that will work. Ultimately it will probably come down to how long it takes me to write the story I have in mind and how many new scenes pop up as I go along. Besides, the first five word prompt after #100 would really go with the series (ie: interrogation, confession, arrest, handcuffs & prison!).
So, we'll see...
Posting Schedule: I do not have a set schedule. I write whenever I have both the time and the inspiration to do so. Luckily each fic in this series is short so they tend to be quick to write, but I still need both time and inspiration to do so. As soon as I'm happy with a drabble, I send it out to my lovely betas and then post it as soon as I've gotten it back and gone over their comments.
