Thanks for all the offers guys!

Now, let's not forget to critique so I can actually feature one of you!

Title: Super Bowl Shootout

Link: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3884768/1/S ... l_Shootout

Rating: T

Length: 34,841

Summery: In 1981, a brutal shootout in the streets of Philadelphia just hours after Super Bowl XV left a police officer dead in the line of duty. Originally thought to be the result of a botched robbery, the truth turns out to be far more complex.

AOB: Cold Case (no pairings, just an episode, pure and simple)

Personal: Well this is my first ever finished story, and it took 13 months to write, so I would really like a detailed appraisal of how it was overall. The main thing I'd like to know is was it predictable? Were you able to to correctly pick the killer midway through the story, or did it keep you guessing till the very end. By the end of chapter 12, was there any doubt left in your mind or was it clear by then? And how was the ending? Did it leave you reflecting on the case long after your read it. One thing I love about Cold Case episodes is the best ones really put you in the shoes of the people involved in the case and keeping thinking about the show long after the tv goes off, and how the victim isn't just a faceless dead body in the opening scene, but an actual person who has a real story.

And how were the characters involved in the case (not the investigators, but the witnesses and such). One reason I prefer case files over relationship stories is because they require you to actually make up some new people and give you the freedom to do whatever you want with them, whereas when writing about the permanent cast members, you are somewhat bound by precedent of the show.

Also, while you can feel free to point out how bad the dialog and grammar is, I'd appreciate if that wasn't the main focus of your review. I'm already well aware of how bad it is, though I hope there was some improvement between the first and last chapters.

I love Cold Case...it's a closet favorite show.

I'm looking forward to featuring this.

Title: Confessions

Link: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4753208/1/Confessions

Rating: T

Length: 1 chapter; 677 words

Summary: Catherine makes a confession.

AOB: Set anywhere you would like, it just has to be before Warrick got involved with Gedda. (I hate that guy, and the Sheriff) The fandom is CSI: and the pairing is Catherine and Warrick.

Personal: Well, since LLK gave me this little mini-challenge to help me write in detail, I'd like the feed back to be focused on that.

Thanks,
Tay

Title: The Night Before Christmas - Miami Style

Link: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4767493/1/T ... iami_Style

Rating: K+

Length: Just the one chapter

Summary: See title!

AOB: CSI:Miami

Personal: Nothing really - just it was fun to write, and I wondered if it was fun to read despite seemingly having very little depth or substance!! And I don't remember having a poem-style fic to critique before, so maybe it would be a first...

I have a request... This fandom goes a bit outside what's been featured already, but I figured I'd ask because, after all, it's a classic, and in any case the worst you can say is no, right? . . . right?!

Title: The Triskel

Link: The Triskel

Rating: T, for language and implied sex

Length: 5 chapters, 16,024

Summary: A brief, modernized retelling of Jane Austen's masterpiece, Pride and Prejudice.

AOB: Jane Austen fandom, modern retelling, E&D if you can recognize them ;)

Personal: Mostly, because this is a modernization, I'm wondering if the characters and themes of the original work are still intact after I made them over.

Title: Proof

Link: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4801665/1/Proof

Rating: K+

Length: 1 chapter, 500 odd words.

Summary: Umm, it's very short, but to say too much would give it away lol.

AOB: Bones, Brennan/Booth

Personal: It was written for a challenge, so I'm a little unsure about whether it works or not with such little dialogue. It's had some nice reviews on ff.net (and one from my friend which is really biased) ; but I'd really like you guy's opinions:)
Helen: We have to fight our way out of here. No killing.
Nikola: Says the woman with the gun to the vampire...

Title: Again

Link: Click Me

Rating: K+

Length: 1,231 words, 1 chapter

Summary: Brennan's on a date. Again. Booth's not too happy about it. Again.

AOB: Bones. Done as part of the new FGC Challenge Exchange and by an unofficial request via FF.net

Personal: Anything is good. This is a deviation from my usual style, so any kind of feedback is welcome!

Title: Give it All Up

Link: Click Here

Rating: K+

Length: one chapter. 855 words.

Summary: Durring Warrick's funeral, his two 'leading ladies' break down.

AOB: Set durring the funeral of Warrick Brown, so obviously CSI. The two main characters are Catherine Willows and Tina Brown, but it is a YoBling story.

Personal: If you all could focus on the plot and characterization, I would greatly appreciate it. Overall liking and how it made you feel are other main points as well.

Thanks,
Tay :)

Title: Apologies

Link: Apologies

Rating: T

Length: 1,079 Words, 1 Chapter

Summary: Post-ep for Power Trip. Calleigh feels that she owes Eric an apology.

AOB: CSI: Miami, Eric and Calleigh Paring

Personal: I have had reviews for this story, but I would like some feedback on my characterization.
Brian: "Sunshine, how did I ever get along without you?"

Title: Se Salva

Link: Se Salva

Rating: T

Length: 4,500ish words for the first chapter; 23 chapters at the moment

Summary:
"Case? But Wendy and Rick are already there -- it looked like there was plenty more to process, and there --" Grissom's somber silence on the other end told Catherine the whole story. "That case."

"Yes. That case."

Catherine choked back a sob.

That case. Victim: Gregory Hojem Sanders.

Impersonal politics cut knives through the case, which itself was all but impersonal.

Catherine cried and remembered.


AOB:
Fandom: CSI
Timeline: Season 8 (Sara is in Frisco, Warrick is alive and divorced, and Wendy is set on becoming a CSI)
Pairings: CWxWB, NSxGS, minor GGxSS, WSx??
Major Characters: Cath, Nick, Warrick, Wendy, Greg (meaning that scenes will be split between the five perspectives, with a few going to Grissom and Sara)
Minor Characters: Grissom, Hodges, Archie, Sara, Brass, multiple OFCs and OMCs

Personal: I'm especially looking for feedback on pacing. Does it get too slow? Are the personal and investigation storylines balanced out well? Is it sufficiently easy to keep track of the investigation storylines? Are some aspects of the plot (i.e. Nick's grief) overdone?

I've only just submitted my first critique in many months, but I wanted to put my request in before I forgot, in case we were in the mood for a longer story one week...


Title: Turn the Page

Link: Click here

Rating: PG/PG-13

Length: 7 chapters (with one or two more to be written, I think), 13,404 words

Summary: Spoilers for 3.20 'Killer Date'. Eric tries to come to grips with Speed's death, but discovers he can't do it alone.

AOB: CSI:Miami, season 3 Is sort of an Eric/OC pairing, but only sort of romantic, and completely without Calleigh-bashing.

Personal: I started this so long ago and had really high hopes for it, but somewhere along the way it turned into average writing, which I'd like to revamp and improve. Plus, it's been so long since I've worked on it, I've forgotten how I wanted it to end, and I could really use some ideas.

Rating: T

Length: One chapter, 1471 words

Summary: Warrick and Catherine at the crime scene at the end of Homebodies. A post ep.

AOB: CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, Season 4, Yo!Bling (Catherine and Warrick)

Personal: The general stuff.

Title: A Slice and Guitar Hero
Link: Clicky me!!!
Rating: T
Length: 1 chapter, 2000 words
Summary: Adam has to deal with the fallout after episode 5.15 "The Party's Over"
AOB: It's in the same universe as another one of my stories, "Secrets of a Past Life," but it's not necessary that you read that one before this one. Basically, what you need to know from that story is that Adam and Greg are friends and have been for years.
Personal: Any feedback would be great. :D
Dean: Talking to a messenger of God on a cell phone. It's kind of like watching a Hell's Angel riding a moped.
Castiel: This isn't funny, Dean. The voice says I'm almost out of minutes.
