Awww I'm so sorry

I'll read and review them all though... but I feel really bad for not trying harder to get one done... I have an idea but no concentration left to write it down
Great that you all wrote one at least :thumbsup:

Me too. I always do! :lol: That's why I love this challenge. It forces me to keep writing and follow through with it, even when it seems too hard.
Egeria is working hard on the site, but we probably won't have it up tonight. Tomorrow, for sure!

Re: Nick Fic Song Ch #7 - "It Was An Accident"- Now up!
Family Ties- Liked the scene with Nick and Jaden talking about Jaden becoming a CSI when he grows up. Nick's so sweet with kids. They should definitely give him a kid on the show. He'd be such a good Daddy.
I Didn't Mean To Do It - LMAO! That was great! I was cracking up the whole time. I can see all of that happening too. Greg getting wrapped up in the cord. LOL! Loved the guys scheming at the end and Brass helping them. Very creative fic and very funny.
When Elephants Grieve- Nice title. I liked that you tied in Nick's love for Animal Planet. That was a nice touch. I liked this interpretation of the lyrics. When I first started reading that Nick was in the place where most suspects usually are, I thought this was gonna be set when Kristi died. Great job.
Perspective- Keppler! Didn't expect to "see" him. Nice take on the lyrics. I was trying to figure out what the heck was going on in the beginning. :lol: I was a bit worried for Nick for a minute there. Great fic!
Deja Vu- That was really good. Agent Drake was a jerk. Nice back story for Nick. Wish the writers of the show could give us that much back story. Good job.
Enough- I'd love to see that fight sequence. That was very well described. Loved it.
Be back with the rest later.

Re: Nick Fic Song Ch #7 - "It Was An Accident"- Now up!
Family Ties - I really liked your interpretation of the song. And that you referred to the title twice and by different people and in two different situations. I really liked Greg helping out with the babysitting duties. It really shows what great friends they are.
I Didn't Mean To Do It - Oh boys will be boys won't they? Really great read. Love the idea of Nick and Greg getting Catherine back at the end. It was great seeing the lab having fun for once.
When Elephants Grieve - Only in a Nick fic can I learn something I didn't know and have Animal Plant mentioned...loved the bit about how Nick notices things about the room he never noticed before like how reflective the table is. Really well done.
Perspective - Well, that was a twisty tale. I was thinking one way then boom he's talking to Keppler (nice idea though to include him) But I'd suggest a better transition out of the role playing into reality...it was a little jarring to me.
Deja Vu - Okay I know this is a story but I hate that Drake guy. I wanted to smack him as I was reading. But I'm sure that was your intention. Love the line where Nick says he knows how to handle traumatic events. And of course Hodges....oh Hodges....spot on my friend.
Enough - So? Who got shot? Oh cliffhangers...anyway, nicely done. I certainly am glad to see Nick finally get ticked off that these kinds of things always happen to him. Great fight scene by the way....good to see Nick can fight.
Unbelievable - Really great job. I totally thought Nick and Greg were in the interrogation room and not in a movie theater. Greg's reaction at the end was priceless....and that was missing was for him to say he didn't know Nick. Overall, enjoyed it.
The Job Follows You - The call back to Stalker was a nice touch. The coaster bit was sweet. I liked that he didn't even touch his beer he was so tired.

Re: Nick Fic Song Ch #7 - "It Was An Accident"- Now up!
Unbelieveable- That was great! I thought they were interrogating someone at first... but they were at the movie theater. :lol: Greg trying to shush Nick was funny. I can just see Greg groaning and covering his face. :lol: The last line cracked me up.
The Job Follows You- Nice touch mentioning the thing with Nigel. Love the Nick responded immediately to the shots by calling it in. And when he gets home he's so tired he's asleep as soon as his head hits the pillow.
Great job, everyone!

Re: Nick Fic Song Ch #7 - "It Was An Accident"- Now up!
Nice job everyone, keep up the good work. Now for the reviews...
“Family Ties” Interesting take on the song, wouldn't have thought of it. A protective Nick and kids is always a good read, especially those related to him. I like that you included Greg in the story, I miss scenes between Nick and Greg on CSI. Good job, keep writing.
“I Didn't Mean To do It” Quirkey, I'll give you that. I thought the songs lyrics lent themselves to a more serious matter. In my opinion the writer missed the mark. The story didn't do it for me, Catherine would never let the shift bide time playing. Keep writing, but look at the lyrics (the subject matter) more closely.
“When Elephant Grieve” Excellent interpretation of the lyrics, and the angst of Nick sitting across from his mentor's, explaining his actions was riveting. When I watched that episode all I kept saying was: “Shoot him...shoot the limey bastard!,” and in your story he did. Thankfully McKeen survived in the your story and on the series. Nick and prison would not be a good mix. Good story, liked your new interpretation.
“Perspective” You got me...I didn't see the end of this story at all. I was thinking Nick, bad situation, agnst, and then you threw in “method forensics.” How imaginative. I like Schrieber (sp?) as an actor, but must admit, he weirded me out in those episodes. Nice job, I'd like to see what Nick thought of Keppler after he died.
“Deja Vu” As with the “Perspective” story, I didn't see this one coming either. Initially, I thought the gun would be found tossed in some unusual place, but that's what I get for thinking. Nice twist and turns, and throwing the storyline to the past was exceptional. In the end it was nice to see Catherine still standing by Nick, and Nick still having concern for others. I love a good angst story and this was good angst.
“Enough” A story about Nick fighting back against the creeps in the world. All I can say is GO NICK! Unfortunately, I don't know if Nick won the fight or not. I like to believe he did, which would bring up another chapter or two in the future. I hope this isn't wishful thinking. Good story, you know how to keep yor readers hanging by a thread.
“Unbelievable” I thought for sure it was Nick interogating a suspect, there I go thinking again. Clever turn on the story. I can't imagine going to a movie or watching television with a real CSI, they'd have the story wrapped up within minutes. A nice job on a day in the life of the CSI's outside of work. Good Nick and Greg time.
“The Job Follows You” I liked how Nick was involved in this story. He wasn't the cause, nor the effect, just the concerned neighbor protecting his turf. I always enjoy any interaction between Brass and Nick, so this story was a plus in my book. Good job.
I look forward to the next challenge. Good writing to all.
Take Care,

Re: Nick Fic Song Ch #7 - "It Was An Accident"- Now up!
I noticed today that this thread has the most views of all the fic threads! Woo hoo! Just a reminder...anyone who reads is welcome and encouraged to drop a line and review. Or join the next challenge! The more the merrier!
Thanks again to everyone who wrote a fic this round! Nice variety!
Family Ties - Well, that made me cry when the poor little boy said he had an accident. I really liked the part where Nick explained what he does and that the burns are evidence...really nice rapport with the child. So sad tho how it turned out.
I Didn't Mean to Do It - Made me laugh! :lol: I love how everyone runs away after the game breaks. I like how Greg calls Catherine like he's trying to get "mom" to help out, and it's great how she's like "no way!" but then sends Nick in there. Greg says, "My famous victory dance"!!! :guffaw:Very original and entertaining!
When Elephants Grieve - Nice! I love stories that are related to episodes, and this is a nice twist on the way that one actually ended. The elephant comparison was right on too, the way Nick and Grissom were walking around Warrick after he died. You tell a great story and have great characterization. Nice job!
Perspective - Keppler!! Nice surprise! At first I thought Nick had really done something and I was sure it was a dead Warrick on the phone. :lol: Very interesting twist on things! Perspective, indeed.
Deja Vu - I like how this case of Nick shooting someone hearkens back to the one so long ago. I'm not sure I like the idea of Nick ever killing anyone, even by accident, but it works and is believable. The dialogue is strong and the characterization is good too.
Enough - I like that this is such a different take on things. You write the action very well...very descriptively so the reader can picture exactly what is going on. Unlike the other reviewers so far, when I read it I had no doubt that it was Nick who survived. I think since it's Nick's story we're reading, the switch to first person at the end sort of says it's Nick's words/thoughts we're reading. Am I right? Great job!
Unbelievable - Your writing is elegant. Your way with words is very picturesque. It's a smooth transition from what we think is happening to finding out what is happening and not being very sure in the middle. Cool! Nice job!
The Job Follows You - The dialogue is very good. I like the little reference back to "Stalker". The characters are very much...in character too. Great story!

Re: Nick Fic Song Ch #7 - "It Was An Accident"- Now up!
Ok, here's three reviews from me with more coming later.
Family Ties - Oh God, are your trying to make me cry? Wow, that was a great story. Did the mother have to...to...ugh! Nick, as usual, was great with the kids and I like that he called his sister-in-law and said the kids are staying with him. I'm glad he stepped up to the plate and the kids are with him now.
Buy, why? Oh why? Didn't the mother fight to stay alive? For her kids. *sighs*
I Didn't Mean To Do It - OMG, that was one damn funny story. You capture Nick and Greg perfectly. It brought back memories of "Stalker" when Greg had to face Nick. I could so this happening in the lab.
Catherine, she does have a evil side to her. lol Oh and the payback, that was great. Now having Greg laying on the floor with fake blood around him, would have been hilarious. Payback is a bitch! Nick, who knew he sad an evil side to him. lol My guess is, that would be growing up with five older sisters. If anyone knew how to get back to a woman, it would be him. lol
Brass you just got to love him. I love when you see fun in the lab. They should have an episode where someone is pulling pranks and the CSIs are trying to figure out who's doing it. Could be fun.
Greg I could so see him freaking out that Nick was going to kill him. I could see him reverting to a child and begging and pleading for forgiveness. Damn funny.
Great story! I'm glad to read a light hearted one!
When Elephants Grieve - Ok, that was a tense story, wasn't it? It was great. I really liked the reference to the elephants and I didn't know they did that. I know they protect their own, but didn't know what they did if one of them died. You definitely capture Nick and Warrick's friendship here and how they looked out for each other. Damn it to hell, but I miss those two together.
Loved how Nick noticed how different the interrogating room looks when you're the 'suspect'. Me thinks this will give him a whole new perspective when interrogating a suspect.
You know they have a lab rat episode every season, it would have been cool to have a Nick and Warrick episode too. Those could have been hilarious.
I really really loved your story. I was so glad to see Grissom supporting Nick, for once! I know Brass was too, even if he couldn't show it. I think, even McKeen had been killed, they would have let Nick off. They know he didn't mean to it.

Re: Nick Fic Song Ch #7 - "It Was An Accident"- Now up!
Great job, everyone! I love the variety that we have this round! The site looks great as usual Egeria!!
Here are my reviews:
Family Ties: This is a really sad story despite the kids being with Nick. I'm glad that he did the right thing by taking them in - too many kids are left in bad situations because people toss their hands up and say "Well, they're not my kids I guess." The only thing about this one is - bearing in mind that I do *like* him - I could have done without Greg. I think Catherine could have been better here. I feel like Nick would've turned to her for support, and it's more realistic for the kids to have opened up to another mom. Otherwise, a heart-wrenching story and I enjoyed it!
I Didn't Mean To Do It: This was a fun read! Loved the lab rats high-tailing it out of there - self-preservation at its finest I have to say, I almost expected Catherine to see ketchup on the floor... I was totally with her, those boys have to duke some things out and Greg definitely deserved it there! You made your bed, Greggo... Ah, well. Very entertaining - thank you!
When Elephants Grieve: Loved the details in this one, and Nick's confusion comes through really well. No one would've blamed Nick for shooting the bastard, that's for sure - they just have to go through the motions. It was nice to see Grissom in there and I was glad that it *was* just Grissom and Brass - those two don't pull any punches and won't sugar coat anything, but at least he knew they were on his side. Well done.
Perspective: Method forensics... Interesting! That would be pretty uncomfortable for Nick, being treated to the way Keppler's mind works, which isn't all that healthy. And I miss Nick and Warrick, so thanks for bringing him back, even for a short while! Good work.
Deja Vu: Beautifully written; I really felt for Nick, particularly at the end when he explained that his attacker died. You can tell that he still felt it, even after so long. And I really liked that he asked after the gunman's welfare as well. I liked Catherine's pep talk in the beginning - her support really means a lot to Nick. Add my name to the list of people who want to throttle Drake! What a prick. (You wrote him so well we all want to kill him! Nice!) Loved Hodges, and Nick's comment about being an expert at handling trauma. Really well done, great job.
Enough: The fight scene was very detailed and written well. I understand Nick's motivation for fighting back, so I think you did well there, but the whole time I was just thinking . . . Don't do it Nick, it's not worth it! I had to read it twice, but I'm sure of who came out of that alive and it wasn't the theif. Nice work!
Unbelievable: So cute! The writing here is very descriptive and I can definitely see Nick getting a tad belligerent with a suspect as much as I can see Greg trying to discourage him, so you did have me fooled! I liked the visual of the suspect tilting the chair back and then slamming it forward - I could almost hear it myself. Of course, on re-reading this, I knew what was going on and was able to enjoy it on another level, picturing Greg and Nick in the audience. Very nice! (By the way, I'm with Nick. Dude was totally lying.)
The Job Follows You: That's Nick, all right - doing what needs to be done even though he's exhausted. I liked the continuity of this, Nick winding down in the beginning just to get riled back up, and then having to wind down again. Nice touch on Stalker, too. This was a nice story to end on - straightforward, no lingering trauma. Good work!
Great job, everyone! I love the variety that we have this round! The site looks great as usual Egeria!!
Here are my reviews:
Family Ties: This is a really sad story despite the kids being with Nick. I'm glad that he did the right thing by taking them in - too many kids are left in bad situations because people toss their hands up and say "Well, they're not my kids I guess." The only thing about this one is - bearing in mind that I do *like* him - I could have done without Greg. I think Catherine could have been better here. I feel like Nick would've turned to her for support, and it's more realistic for the kids to have opened up to another mom. Otherwise, a heart-wrenching story and I enjoyed it!
I Didn't Mean To Do It: This was a fun read! Loved the lab rats high-tailing it out of there - self-preservation at its finest
I have to say, I almost expected Catherine to see ketchup on the floor... I was totally with her, those boys have to duke some things out and Greg definitely deserved it there! You made your bed, Greggo... Ah, well. Very entertaining - thank you!When Elephants Grieve: Loved the details in this one, and Nick's confusion comes through really well. No one would've blamed Nick for shooting the bastard, that's for sure - they just have to go through the motions. It was nice to see Grissom in there and I was glad that it *was* just Grissom and Brass - those two don't pull any punches and won't sugar coat anything, but at least he knew they were on his side. Well done.
