Due to the summer hiatus, I know that I personally will be going into CSI withdrawal if I do not get any fanfictions to tide me over. However, since I have only recently entered the fanfiction world for CSI, I do not know the best places to search for such fics. At the same time, though, I only like to read certain genres, character-based fics, and/or certain lengths. This is where the requests come in. Just because I do not know the best place to search for CSI fics does not mean that I have not come across some superb fanfiction. There have been stories that just because they are so good, I am forced to reread them. Because they are so good, I have to share them with somebody or everybody! This is where the reccomendations come in. There are also authors out there, I know, that write fanfiction but do not want to post it here and have it posted elsewhere. This is an opportunity to get other Talk CSI posters to see their work and review it. This is where the showcase comes in. Now, because the Talk CSI posters are so diverse in age, when posting a reccomendation or showcase, please follow the following format: Title: Author: Rating: Summary: Warnings: Link: If you feel the need, you can also post the genre and main character(s) for further clarification. If the rating is not provided, give an educated guess. For those who are not exactly sure how the rating system works, here's a brief outline: G (K) - Intended for general audience 5 years and older. Content should be free of any coarse language, violence, and adult themes. PG (K+) - Suitable for more mature childen, 9 years and older, with minor action violence without serious injury. May contain mild coarse language. Should not contain any adult themes. PG-13 (T) - Suitable for teens, 13 years and older, with some violence, minor coarse language, and minor suggestive adult themes. R (M) - Not suitable for children or teens below the age of 16 with possible strong but non-explicit adult themes, references to violence, and strong coarse language. NC-17 (MA) - Content is only suitable for mature adults. May contain explicit language and adult themes. Until a mod or admin comes in and corrects me otherwise, I'm going to advise everybody to just not post fics Rated NC-17 (MA) and to instead send those over PM if somebody requests a story and explicit content happens to be present. That would be the smart move until otherwise told, I believe. After you post a request or showcase, I must really insist on you to be PATIENT. Requests can sometimes be quite detailed or rare and it can be a while before somebody finds a fic that matches your description. Also, people have busy lives, and it may be a while before somebody reads your showcase fic, so reviews may take a while to come in. I do not mind you posting reviews on this board, I just ask that you don't flood the whole board with them. You can also receive reviews through Email, PM, and if the site that your fic is on provides it, by simply hitting the review button. If you wish to receive reviews through email, you will also have to provide that as well. Now I will post my own requests, reccomendations, and showcase to give you a little idea how this will work. Request I'm looking to read any fics that feature any of the following, post or pre-Grave Danger: - Nick-centric fics - friendship-centric fics with Nick in the main cast - Nick-in-danger fics - Nick-the-hero fics - crossover fics between Vegas and either Miami or New York (featuring Nick, of course) - all of the above replacing Nick with Danny - Nick/Calliegh romance fics Thank you in advance! Reccomendation All of the following fics are stories that I have read, loved, and reread. Enjoy!

Showcase Title: Pancho, The Crimestopper - A C2 Community Author: Miss Anonymous csi (Kaye) Rating: G (K) - PG-13 (T) Summary: Short stories, long stories, friendship stories, solo stories; stories all about Nick.

Re: Fanfiction Request, Reccomendation, & Showcase Wow! Those recs were really good and that was actually the first Catherine/Warrick fic that I have ever read, and it was brilliant. I loved them. And I can't wait until more of your stories pop up, Kristen!
Re: Fanfiction Request, Reccomendation, & Showcase I have a couple dozen that I read over and over again. Those are the ones I'll post here..more later when I have time. I was very impressed with that Warrick/Cath one. It was pretty amazing. K-

Re: Fanfiction Request, Reccomendation, & Showcase Hehe! Same here. All of your recs from fanfiction.net I have read. The "Closet Evidence" though... gosh, that was hilarious! I feel so sorry for both of them... especially Nicky. Poor guy being dragged into another of Grissom's experiments. Hehe. These are great! And umbrello, I looked up the site you spoke of and found it. Very cute! CnN--what a cute but very unlikely ship.

Re: Fanfiction Request, Reccomendation, & Showcase I think this is supposed to be in the fanfiction forum.
Re: Fanfiction Request, Reccomendation, & Showcase First off, you can not link to any NC-17 or above rated Fanfics so I'm going to remove those and this is going to the Fanfiction forum.
Re: Fanfiction Request, Reccomendation, & Showcase I love this thread idea! It will become very helpful to me in the future.
