TTC Spin-off CM blog!

Some of you on my flist know that I have been writing Recap&Reviews on each new CM ep this season over at thetwocents.com. Many of you on the flist also know that I was approached in November by the Head Editor/Writer about doing a spin-off site from their site that focused solely on CM, as my reviews were getting a good response.

Now, we won't be in the planning stages until January, so IF (IF!) this all goes through, it's not going to be overnight, but it's not too early to put some serious thought into it. And I need to put together a proposal for what I want to do with the site. Hurrah!

I've waffled over the idea, mostly because I don't just want to mirror the other CM blogs, and I want to do something that the fans will actually appreciate. That's why I thought there was no better thing to do in this incubatory phase than to ask the fans what they thought!

Poll is basic, but any and everything you have to say in additional comments is love. :)

(Also, I edited the poll after it had been posted a few minutes. Apologies if you took the time to fill it out on the post that got deleted. :/)

( POLL OF MUCH GREATNESS )

cm_exchange Recs!

So, some of you know, I have been doing my very best to read everything, as long as the warnings don't squick me, at cm_exchange this month regardless of pairings. So far, I've only had to say no to two due to pairing/warnings, though I'm getting to the longer fics at a slower pace. Still, even if I'm dragging behind a bit, the attempt to read out of my comfort zone has actually found me at least one pleasant surprise! Here are my cm_exchange recs so far.

- Make Your Own Luck (Morgan/Reid/Hotch, and various combinations within; NC-17)

GUH! This is just amazing. This fic has just a wonderful, gradual build and is laced with subtle humor. There were so many parts I love that I found it hard to contain my comment, and am actually having a hard time reccing it without wanting to blurt out all my favorite bits. LOL! Not only is the build up sweet and funny, but the sex is GORGEOUS too, and so realistic! Realistic sex = HAWT = FTW! Go read it! :DDDDDDDDDDDD

- Come Out, Come Out, Wherever You Are (JJ/Emily; NC-17)

You read right. Not only am I reccing femslash, but I'm reccing fic with JJ in it. Guys, I love this author's style--it's really beautiful--and anyone who can make me like femslash and JJ, two things that are usually not my cuppa? WINS in my book. I really liked the second person perspective on JJ in this fic, which actually helped me appreciate her more than I usually do. Omg, and the sex is just plain STEAMING. RAWR! :D

- Watch and Learn (Hotch/Reid; PG-13)

I think it's hard to do fic with little to no dialogue well, but this one does. Morgan's "voice" is strong throughout, and I think the "silence" actually lends itself to thefic, making the the moment that Morgan witnesses [/vague] that much more intimate for it. Lovely. :)
