Hi, everybody! Thank you to those who read my story. It was really interesting to write, and I hope you enjoyed it. Though I really liked constructing Hotch's backstory, I know there are a few small details that don't align with the show. I have a mostly-written idea for another story that aims to stay plausibly consistent with the show, and even offers a fun approach to Haley's introduction (I think so, anyway). This time we would get Hotch's perspective. Some details that may be more accurate are the portrayal of Sean as Hotch's half-brother, Hotch's mother as his primary abuser, and some possible explanations for what appear to be contradictions in Hotch's past. Anyway, I've started writing it. I'm hoping to keep it shorter (probably about three chapters) and I would really like to know if anybody wants to read this new story? Please review to let me know, and it might appear later this week...

NOTE: I have now completed this alternative backstory. It's called "The Worst Fourth Pirate in History" and is seven chapters long.
