Hey, all!

Little bit about me: My name is Angela, I'm from the U.S., Iowa, specifically, and I like to write and hope to one day make a profession out of it. I've also lived in four other states, and traveled around a good portion of the U.S., and I hope one day to be able to travel to other parts of the world as well. I enjoy reading and listening to music, and while I won't (or can't, per the rules of this site) do "lyric fics", so to speak, some of the stories I write will be influenced by various songs and artists.

Favorite Musicians: U2, Neil and Tim Finn and all associated with them (Split Enz, Crowded House, etc.), Muse, Franz Ferdinand, Coldplay, Vampire Weekend, Oingo Boingo, Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, Bic Runga, Kimbra, and Gotye/the Basics.

Favorite Shows: "The Twilight Zone" (specifically the 1960s original version, though all version of the series have had their good episodes/seasons), "Evil", "Community", "Frasier", "Wings", "Monk", "Strangers with Candy", "Spaced", "Criminal Minds", "The Office" (U.S. version), "Sleepy Hollow", "Bates Motel", "How to Get Away with Murder", "The Good Doctor", "Get Smart", "3rd Rock from the Sun", and "Trial & Error".

In terms of non-fictional TV, I also like "Last Week Tonight with John Oliver" and "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert".

I am on AO3 under the same name, and am (slowly) working on adding my current list of stories to that site. I will cross-post any future works I write to that site as well. I also write TV reviews on occasion over at SpoilerTV, and would definitely recommend that site to anyone who enjoys TV shows, as well as occasional movie discussion.

Hope to get to know some more people here, and look forward to reading/writing/commenting with everyone!

50 ONE-WORD ONE-SHOTS SERIES

So this idea sort of came out of nowhere – just happened to notice how many “Criminal Minds” episodes have one word for their title, and I decided to have a bit of fun with that idea and write a series of one-shot stories based off them. Taking a cue from the way some other stories do things like this, it will be done alphabetically; as such we’ll be jumping around here and there through the seasons. Some of the one-shots will focus on one character, and some will deal with multiple characters. This series only goes up through season 8 - someday I may do a part 2 of sorts with the similarly titled episodes from season 9 onward. Hope you enjoy the series!

*I’ll be technically cheating with one of the titles, because it's an abbreviation of one of the characters' first and last names. (gee, any guesses which character that would be?). But by putting it in it rounds the number out to a nice even 50.

A massive thank you to everyone who nominated me for the 2014 CM Profiler's Choice Awards, and for the "Best Reviewer" and "Best JJ/Reid" wins in the 2015 PCAs. It's a true honor, and your guys' support really means a lot to me. Thank you all so much!

The covers for many of my "Criminal Minds" stories were created by the wonderfully talented DeejayMil, whose stories at AO3 I highly recommend. Big ol' thank you to her for her generosity and time!
