You got to cut and paste because I still can't figure out how to make it a link. LOL. If someone would be kind enough to tell me how, I'd love them forever!

Please review.

So there is something call Lost Bingo. It got me thinking how much fun it would be to have Criminal Minds Bingo. Do you all think this is a great idea? Under the cut is a blank bingo card if anybody is interested.

Just stumbled across the following from SpoilerTV

[CORONER] ANY ETHNICITY: MALE or FEMALE 40-60; MAJOR CHARACTER FACE TYPE: really looking for an interesting face/ look and someone who can be believable as a CORONER in a LAB in San Francisco....CO-STAR, a few lines

Coroner? Spin-off = Criminal Minds: CSI? I am SO confused. And (still) dismayed. -__-

Title: Snow and Marshmallows
Author: Tooks
Pairing: Hotch, Jack, Team
Rating: FRC
Prompt: Hotch/Jack/Team- snowball fight by underspell102

Title: Tear You Apart
Author: Tooks
Pairing: Hotch/Prentiss
Rating: FRM
Summary: While working a case involving kids, Prentiss must help Hotch deal with nightmares that lead to traumatic childhood memories.
Notes: This is the eighth of what I'm calling my "Suffer the Children" series. It's slightly AU (in line with my Hotch's 5 Stages pieces) but has Season 5 spoilers! I cut this one up a little differently...not sure it works but it was the only way I could find to do it. Oh and to reiterate for this chapter: Involves dark, violent, images involving children!!

In fanfic Prentiss's mother is always written as being cold and somewhat distant. That wasn't the impression I got of her from the episode Honor Among Thieves. Am I missing something? Has something happened in canon to support how she's written in fanfic?

Here's a sketch I did last night of C. Thomas Howell as "The Reaper" in "Criminal Minds" and I think it totally sucks!

(fake cut to tomhowell where drawing can be seen.)

I posted it on Facebook and tagged CTH in it, not realizing it would appear on his page.

The caption read: "Crappy sketch of "The Reaper". Be gentle! I haven't drawn anything in nearly 10 years!! Sorry for making you look like an ape, Tom!"


This morning, he commented on my drawing!

C Thomas Howell "crappy"??? C'mon now.....
Thank you very much....
It's awesome.."

I suspect he was just being nice but, I promised him I'd work on a better one.

Thanks for the compliment, though, Tom!! It made my day!

Pairing: Reid-centric, Morgan/Reid
Summary: "They had behind them, to my mind, the terrific suggestiveness of words heard in dreams, of phrases spoken in nightmares."

Hey guys,

Time for another PSA from your friendly neighborhood mods with a few reminders.

We've once again amended the rules a bit. Namely rule #4 that now states:

4. Large pictures (anything larger than 300px in height and length), more than three icons, fanfic, and any other "large" posts should go behind a LJ-cut. And please do not format your posts with large fonts and bright colors.

This is just a small issue, and we've included it because it improves readability (and saves flists). The moderators cannot edit your posts, so if a moderator asks that you edit your post (for any reason) please do so as soon as possible. If you have not done so within five hours of the request, your post will be deleted. Reposts that do not break the rules are allowed.

Also, we have decided that Real Person Fanfiction (RPF) will not be allowed in this community. This also means we won't allow any advertisements from communities/sites with such content (to the best of our knowledge) and we will not accept any such affiliates. We apologize for any inconvenience but we are not willing to risk legal repercussion due to libel or defamation of character should someone directly affiliated with CBS or Criminal Minds stumble across us. The show makes every effort to pay attention to its fans, and we don't want to risk a negative outcome because of it.

We also want to remind everyone that the best way to contact the mods with any questions and/or issues is through the email address criminal.x.minds@gmail.com. If you want to advertise your community, please ask here, and if you want to affiliate with us, make a  comment here.

And finally, criminalxminds  is not in any way affiliated with any contests advertised here. We cannot vouch for the people who are holding these contests, or for the quality of the prizes, and we do not want to get involved in any disputes. And, as our show keeps reminding us, be careful with how you disclose your private information online.

My very first and probably very last picspam can be found here: http://annievh.livejournal.com/32527.html
Did it for the CRIMELAND Challenge. Fun, but way too much work for my little self.

Since NBC has effectively erased Conan O'Brien's tonight show from the internet, does anyone know where I can find Paget's interview from episode 27? It's pretty amusing to me, and now it's just, poof, vanished. Please and thank you.

Title: Of Greetings and Goodbyes (2/2)

Warnings: Slash: an established Morgan/Reid relationship, there are possible trigger topics concerning mental illness, and very slight spoilers for 'To Hell... And Back.'

I know there are other groups for this and I may have already posted something like this but I'm trying again. Is there anyone out there willing to do a canon/canon RP for Criminal Minds? It would be one on one over messages or something. Details can be disucssed via comments or messages. So just putting the offer out there, hoping to catch someone's attention easier with this group. And most of my pairs are on the crack side such as JJ/Rossi, JJ/Spencer, Gideon/Spencer, Garcia/Hotch, etc.

Song: Find a Way
Artist: SafetySuit
Pairing: Morgan & Reid
Description: And if I was running you’d be the one who I would be running to, and if I was crying you would be lining the cloud that would pull me through, and if I was scared then I would be glad to tell you and walk away...  nothing special, just a little bit love... :)

Age: 23
Location: Berkeley, California
Favorite TV Show: I'm assuming everyone says Criminal Minds. I'll mix it up by saying Firefly. And Criminal Minds.
Other Shows Watched: House, How I Met Your Mother, Glee, CSI, The Deep End, True Blood and Dexter (when in their seasons), and I was watching Dollhouse.
Favorite Quote: Reid assessing the claim of inaccuracies in Star Trek.
Favorite Color: Yellow.
If I was a criminal, I'd be... Franky Muniz a la his comic book artist. The sort of pseudo vigilante who doesn't realize they're doing wrong. And then drawing pretty pictures. =D
