Call me a lemming, but since half (or more) of my flist is already doing it, I thought I should join in too.

Ask Me Anything (goes both general and writing)


and as little incentive to ask, here's a bonus Bomer:

I hadn't seen your previous post. Nice write up! :)

What drew me to the show are first and foremost the characters. They're all well-rounded and complex in their own rights, and not your typical TV characters. Peter/El ♥♥ and just Peter ♥♥. But all the characters, really, they're all interesting and bring their own little something to the ensemble.
But also, the quality of the writing, the wit of the dialogues. That was a very enjoyable show to watch (and rewatch). Also New York City, and the classy directing style. It's really not your usual TV show.
Also like you said, it's mostly non violent. Cases very rarely involve dead bodies. (ironically the rare deaths are almost all very shocking. Kate, Ellen, Siegel, even the bad guys...).


Fanfics, I think because I started reading some. Then I had an idea that popped into my head, and I was encourage to give it a try. And gradually, I discovered the power and fun of exploring the characters further, write the missing scenes I wished were in the show... And now I'm giving them a future...
Oh wait I realize that doesn't really answer the question "why". Well, because I love the characters and love getting in their head. It's a way to keep the show going in between episodes - and after the end.
