    Y'all can have Mac... but can I have Danny PLEASE?! Hehe, I know I'm a newcomer, but I'm actually thinking of writing a poem... I just don't know how to go about it. Any tips?

    Welcome to the FANFICTION LAND!

    Hey, my name's Amanda (obviously!) and I write CSI fanfiction. I'm currently branching out into CSI: New York, and it has been EXTREMELY difficult. But whoever said life should be easy was a darn fool. I'm having so much fun writing new characters, something that I've never thought I would do...

    I'm in CT, so it's quite possibly midnight your time. BUT! I'm having trouble with characterizing Danny and Flack... or at least I would have been having trouble if it weren't for Zelda... don't think I'm being forward anything, but I could kiss you for helping me so well, Zelda!!!!!! THANK YOU...

    The Bachelor (CSI Gameshow fanfiction)

    All three shows make it hard for me to breathe when one of the guys comes on screen... though I'm not nearly as picky as most girls (NOT YOU TWO! You two aren't picky. You just have great taste ;)) Nah, I'd pass out and possibly die if any of the following men chose me: Eric (Miami), Ryan...

    ACK! My story = epic fail! I thought it wouldn't be hard writing a story for Danny Messer... BOY WAS I WRONG! I have a heading though, so don't fret. It will be done before midnight tomorrow... But I'll probably need till then, if that's okay, Jodie? Guh... I think I'll be able to find a song...

    The Bachelor (CSI Gameshow fanfiction)

    I'm really not surprised that Danny and Don won! They are both so incredibly sexy! :drool: I, personally, wouldn't have been able to choose between the two of them. Well... not just the two of them. I think pretty much all the men from all three CSIs (except David Caruso, but that's just me)...

    I had a reeeeeeally mean idea for an Eric/Calleigh story... but I decided against it, since I'm not evil enough for this kind of story. *hint*The song would've been Another One Bites The Dust by Queen*hint*

    Elements of Style: Grammar Errata and Other Resources

    I love this thread. I usually have no problem with grammar or anything like that, but I can always use some extra help! :D It was nice to see this here, and I will use it whenever I need some extra help. I came across it just now trying to figure out some characterization, but I can only hope...

    I'm SO excited for this challenge. I'm going way out of my comfort zone for it... and I'll need help with characterization... if anybody watches New York and knows the characters well, just send me a PM... I want this story to be as good as possible. Thanks a bunch. Amanda Ruth ^_^

    CSI: NY Fic: Kiss Me, I'm Irish [Flack/Stella]

    Okay, I absolutely adored this story. It wasn't, by any means, perfect, but nothing ever is. I learned that the hard way >_<. Anyway, I enjoyed the idea of this ship. This was the first Don/Stella story I've read. Frankly, I had never seen it until I read this story. I mean, Danny and Lindsay...

    *TQ* Whoever said that the TQs were getting harder was definitely onto something. But I have my country music playing so I should be able to do this with the same amount of depth that I've become accustomed to. What I have become used to seeing in fan fiction (and which really depresses me, I...

    Week 21 I want you all to go and find your absolute favorite CSI Fan Fiction and tell us about it. I want to know specifics though. 1. Why do you like it? 2. If you could change anything, what would it be? Would you even want to change it? 3. How did you find it? 4. Has it changed your writing...

    WARNING! WARNING! I wrote this TQ/Critique at three AM while coming down with a cold, but knowing me, this would be the best time to do it. If I didn't, I'd be doing it in Adorelo's condition... BUT! This isn't long... because I didn't have much criticism to make... without criticism... there...

    Alright, I was going to write my response to the critiques I got after Easter dinner tomorrow, but I have major writer’s block on “When Greg Met Sarah”, so I decided to do it now. Besides, they are just so wonderful, I had to do it soon, or I was going to esplode! *Jennifer* To be perfectly...

    *TQ* Usually, when I’m writing a CSI fan fiction, I’ll only use procedures that I’ve seen on the show, just to have a basic idea of what I’m doing. I’ve also found that, when it comes to procedures in collecting evidence and such, I can use the knowledge I’ve gained from watching Forensic Files...

    TQ* Alright, if any of you read anything by me besides When Greg Met Sarah, I bless you for being so kind and forgiving. But you may have noticed a pattern, as well… I don’t have a set genre that I write for. The Aftermath was Fluff with a tinge of Angst, Interrupted was Angst ridden Romance...

    When I first started writing, I thought I was going to be a fluffy, sickly sweet authoress, mainly because that was how I saw myself as a writer. And my (really bad) first story only served as proof of my theory. Then I went on to write another story, and it all just went down the path to angst...

    1001 things you don't do in a fanfic

    I totally agree with the "know your show" point. If you're going to write a story, KNOW WHAT YOU'RE WRITIN ABOUT! Don't make yourself look like a total idiot by making a character like Gil Grissom an open book, when he is clearly a person that it takes time to get to know! Ugh, I've read so...

    1001 things you don't do in a fanfic

    I have a Mary Sue in my story, but by no means is she perfect. She isn't even the main character. Of course... I don't know if that's the point you were making, but I just wanted to say that not all Mary Sue's are made to be perfect.

    *TQ* As I got more into writing fan fiction, I started getting more detailed. The first story I wrote, when I did a flashback to a scene from one of the episodes, I only wrote the dialogue. Then, in my second story, I started adding what the characters were doing as they spoke. After finishing...
