I think you have great style and you have improved so much as a writer since you first started posting. If you needed any improvement, I think it's to focus less on exposition and more on being in the scene. Your pacing has gone from not very good to nearly flawless. When you allow yourself to fully occupy the characters, your characterizations are perfect; that's something you have improved on, as well...you used to write out of character and you don't do that any more.

Also, you've gotten so good over the last few years I'd like to see you take more chances. You have always been fun to read on an entertainment level, but lately you have become a pleasure to read, not just on an entertainment level but a technical and expression level as well.

You are one of the joys of reading fanfiction.

You have improved so, so much from your earlier stories, especially in regards to the character's voices. You have got Grissom and Sara down pat in terms of their dialogue and actions. It's very obvious you love these characters and want to do the best with them.

And you have got one of the best characterizations of Brass and Lady Heather. They are not an easy set of characters to write but you manage to stay true to what we have seen on the show and make their stories very believable.

You can also write in a broad range of genres, from fluff to angst, without going over the top or being cheesy. All in all, your stories are always a treat to read.
