AN:
So here is the thing: Welcome To Hell was completely intended on only being a one shot, but as I got thinking about it I realized that even I had a lot of questions in my mind. Does Reid have schizophrenia? Does his mother have schizophrenia. If Reid doesn't have a mental illness, what happened to him that would cause him to be in Bennington? Will anyone realize that his dreams of the BAU are about real people? How would Reid get better so that he could join his team at the BAU?
Obviously, Reid would have to have something to offer to the BAU and maybe I could give him a special ability that would explain both of the reasons as to why he is a patient at Bennington and why Hotch would hire him on at the BAU. I'm torn on whether or not to continue this story. I have an idea for another story but I keep coming back to a few ideas about this one. So I'll give you the two summaries and let you decide.
Welcome To Hell
Dr. Spencer Reid has had a rough time in his life. After a tragic accident, he develops a special ability that no one will believe in. Even himself. Because of that he is a patient at Bennington Sanitarium trying to sort out reality from his skeptic-induced delusions. He is a practical man with a special ability that he can't prove. Will anyone ever believe him?
Currently Untitled
Emily Prentiss has left her cell phone on her desk at the BAU. When Dr. Spencer Reid volunteers to bring it to her, he discovers that she has been the victim of a sex crime and he has interrupted it. Reid knows that Prentiss' well being is not his responsibility, however, he can't seem to stay away from her. He always thought she was so strong but when he sees her vulnerable side, he realizes there is so much more to her then meets the eye.
The Prentiss/Reid story would be a romance story. I might end up writing this story anyway but I guess the question is do I put it on the back burner and work on Welcome To Hell? Do I work on both and just take longer to put out chapters? Or do I leave Welcome To Hell as a one shot and start on the new story?
Reviews would help me make up my mind about this so let's hear it... what do you think?
