I help the police department solve cases back home. Long story. I got a foot in the door when there was a case where a killer was basing their murders on the ones I write in my books. Once I was cleared as a suspect, I solved the case and was allowed to be a special consultant for the NYPD.

They were for my own books. But hey, I wouldn't mind endorsing some products here- I have little shame.

[How very fascinating - the Vision's eyes widen appreciably.] And you were kept on because of your contributions, no doubt. I would imagine that provided a form of inspiration on its own, in a mutually beneficial arrangement?

I do hope the sponsors are listening.

Correctamundo. My specific inspiration was Kate... Detective Kate Beckett. I needed a new muse, and she became mine. Somewhere along the line, we fell in love.

Oh, I'm sure they're waiting with bated breath.

[unbearablynaive]

[He smiles.] A very good inspiration, then. And the cases themselves keep you on your toes?

[thebestseller]

She has been, yeah. And they do- it's a nice way to fill my day, I get to help people, and I get new ideas for my books every day.

[unbearablynaive]

Then if I see any mysteries here, I'll be certain to let you know.

[No murders, though. Hopefully.]

[thebestseller]

Oh, I'm sure we'll find plenty in due time.

[unbearablynaive]

I have no doubt of that.

[thebestseller]

Perhaps I'll even write stories about them.

[unbearablynaive]

Oh, I have a feeling the fans would enjoy that.

[thebestseller]

I wonder if the other Fleet members would, too...

[unbearablynaive]

There's one way to find out.

[thebestseller]

Maybe I'll start posting them anonymously first. See what sort of reaction I get.

[unbearablynaive]

Yes, I can see the benefit of that. I'd hope the reactions would be mostly positive, but if they're not you wouldn't have your name attached to it.
