Don't worry, possum - your ideas have been stored away for future fics. Right now I am struggling to finish a HUGE Hotch/Reid fic for a big bang challenge, but I am also secretly working on a Prentiss/Reid fic inspired by one of your prompts. Its turning out to be longer than expected...

I seem to have that effect on you. I give you an idea, and it turns into an epic novel.
I read this 2009 drabble earlier this week that had a sentence in it that I'd love to see you play with, but I have no idea 1) if the author would even "let" you, 2) if you'd even grab onto the idea. It's times like these, I wish I had even a tiny bit of writing talent.

I've riffed off of sentences that I've read in other fics all the time. The trick is not to use the sentence word for word - just use the idea. If ficcers didn't steal from each other there'd be practically no fic at all ;)

I don't think that I can get that image out of my head, but I'm not sure I could write it either XD
I forgot to say that I stockpiled a few from your last prompt list. They have been bubbling away in the back of my head.

Reid aggressively pursues Emily. No secret feelings she's been trying to ignore or anything.
Emily writes letters to Reid's mom. Reid doesn't know.
