Definitely nice to see my favorite profiler again! I like seeing her interact with the team and loved the Morgan and Garcia interplay. Looking forward to how this story unfolds.

Glad to hear that you're enjoying it. Writing Emily after writing Emma is an interesting exercise. They have a certain amount in common -- both strong willed women with a generally keen awareness of the people around them -- so their differences are by necessity quite important. Emily would certainly like to claim that she's a lot more self aware, though I leave how true that actually is to the reader.

Glad to see you back!

Emily has always been an enigmatic character for me, so it will be interesting to see your take on her. I'll look forward to the rest of the story.

It was great to see the team dynamic.

Emily seems to have a penchant for being something of a mystery to the rest of the team as well, so you're in good company. :) On the bright side, it does give me leave to have a fairly free hand with her motivations and drives, some of which I hope will become evident during this story. (And set up others for the sequel we're currently writing.)

Neat and fun and exciting! OK, so I kept a document open a wrote down my reactions as I had them, particularly about characterization since you mentioned that. I did try to enforce some order after the fact ( ... )

Firstly, I'd like to sincerely thank you for your detailed commentary. This kind of thing is really invaluable to us writers. It's something that I find really hard to do personally, which makes me appreciate feedback that much more.

I can see what you mean about Reid. If we ever get around to fiddling with the story, we might well fix it. It just worked so well as a segue into the next topic, that we couldn't resist.

As regarding profiling each other, I can't see how they wouldn't be, at least on a subconscious level. (In some cases, on a not so subconscious level - it's pretty much part of Hotch's job as a manager.) I figure that Emily's competitive enough that she'd want to *win*. :)
