Criminal Minds: Traveling to Las Vegas

Title: Traveling to Las Vegas
Rating: PG-13 for guns
Characters: Spencer Reid, OCs
Prompt: aldersprig requested Reid in one of my ‘verses!
Summary: Reid tries to get to his mom after the apocalypse.
Author's Notes: Set in my original world of the Wasteland. Of course, in the Wasteland, his name wouldn't be Spencer Reid, because they don't speak English. But close enough!


Spencer Reid unrolled himself from his sleeping bag and stared up at the sky. It hadn’t changed. Still gray, from horizon to horizon.

But that was a good thing, because if the clouds had moved, that would mean wind, and wind would mean pathogens from the cities he’d left behind. Being able to calculate all the possible trajectories of the genetically engineered viruses didn’t help his anxiety.

I have joined Page Buoy and created a group for anyone who wants to join me! Because the site is kind of a pain to navigate (apparently to see site stuff instead of your stuff, you click "show public content," except sometimes that means see the same thing you'd see if you weren't logged in), here is a link to the specific group: Bunnies!. There are no goals yet because the site won't let me add one--I've sent an email to the creator. But I was thinking maybe 7,000 words a week as a basic goal? Unless goals don't need to be monthly, which it doesn't look like they do.

I haven't entirely figured out how to use the site yet. But I will. Probably.

ETA: The goals thing is fixed so the group now has a goal of 7,000 words a week. (You choose whether or not to join goals within a group.) Open for suggestions of other goals. I'm not sure how the system learns that you've achieved a goal--you might have to upload projects for it and that might be too much of a pain in the ass for me.
