I'm Camilla, sometimes known as Cam or Miss Cam, depending on where people know me from. I am a proudly graduated Bachelor of Journalism, ready to become very famous and eventually take over the world.

I use British English, thus expect 'realise', 'colour', 'centre' etc to pop up in my stories.

I'm Norwegian, but lived in Australia during my journalism studies (hence my slight Aussie tendencies and the fact that I actually know the rules of cricket). Now, I've come Home to freeze and live in the illusion that my country is the centre of the universe and that we're Very Important (Hint: We're not).

Besides being a journalist, I'm a quarter computer geek, half a reading-and-writing creative type and a wee bit of lazy on the side.

There are, it has been said, two types of people in the world. There are those who, when presented with a glass that is exactly half full, say; this glass is half full. And then there are those who say: this glass is half empty.
The world belongs, however, to those who can look at the glass and say: 'What's up with this glass? Excuse me? Excuse *me*? *This* is my glass? I don't *think* so. *My* glass was full! *And* it was a bigger glass!
- Terry Pratchett, 'The Truth'

Bwhahaha! Oh, poor Ecklie, no love for him... Amusing read, thanks.

Author's Response: Mm, there seems to be a lot of sympathy for poor, divorced and nearly human Ecklie going around :) ~~Bernie

Not my pairing normally, but good writing and characterisation suckered me in. Well done.
Chapter 1: black rain

Summary: Greg Sanders normally didn’t lie. He may have exaggerated, stretched the truth, embroidered for effect—but flat out lie. Not usually. And he wouldn’t have had to, if it weren’t for that damn tattoo of Sara’s.

This cracked me up in some many ways. From the Hodges serenading to Greg's drooling over underwear choices and the idea of showing off a tattoo at 7/11. Greg was sweet and I also smiled evilly at the Cath/War mention (since I could then picture their hot sex). You went a little overboard with ellipses, I thought, and a few quotation rule hiccups here and there. But all in all, it was a good read and left me with a good feeling.

Author's Response: Hey you! I'm glad you liked it. As for the ellipses, I consciously included them as a way to mimic the rhythms and patterns of Sara and Greg's (especially Greg's) speech. But I do appreciate the heads-up and will take a weather eye to the next fic.

I said it before and I say it again - lovely. Full of desire and yet wonderfully slow paced and the ending description clicks very well.

Ah, very sweet and lovely. Cracked up at the mental image of muddy Grissom and the GSR kiss was promising without making all the wrongs now right. And the C/W hints were extra lovely.

A bit melancholy feel to it, but an interesting look at how Warrick sees - and sees through - Catherine.

Author's Response: thank you kindly ^_^

Lovely characterisations. Just feels right. And some lovely dialogue too, but the story communicates what isn't said so very well too. Well done.

Depressing for Grissom, but Sara's happiness was evident and well-described. Though I admit I almost did kinda hope she was lying... Ah, I'm a hopeless GSR case. Quite enjoyed the fic nevertheless :)

Author's Response: Well, truth be told I kind of think Sara herself isn't 100% sure she isn't lying either...
