Author has written 30 stories for Charmed, In Plain Sight, and NCIS. "Fanfiction (the true definition): a fictitious world where the fans correct the colossal mistakes made by the writers of their favorite TV shows." -- original quote by strwbrygrl77 I'm a child of the 80's and I grew up watching the TV shows 'Scarecrow & Mrs King', 'A-Team', 'Airwolf', 'Remington Steele', and 'Knight Rider'. I was in love with Lee Stetson and his silver corvette - and I thought that being a spy was the coolest thing ever! Lee and Amanda are still what I consider to the best 'ship' of all time but I don't know that I'll ever write fanfic for them - I feel that their story has been told very well by other excellent writers out there already. The same goes for Remington and Laura. Another couple that caught my eye in the mid-90's was Michael and Nikita on USA's series, 'La Femme Nikita' - they had enough sex appeal to set fire to your living room sofa by just looking at each other - I'm not kidding! Their tale is a very sad one, however, and realistically could never have a happy ending -- even though many writers have tried to give them one. My stories to date are 'In Plain Sight' or 'NCIS' -- with the exception of my first story (that one belongs to the 'Charmed' fandom.) I'm not sure how many more IPS stories I have left in me - every time I finish one, I think it's the last one. It's hard to come up with fresh ideas once a series has ended and you've imagined every way you can think of for a couple to get together - or not. I do plan to write a sequel to the Sadie saga - after that, there might not be any more IPS stories. My NCIS story "I'll hang onto you" is off hiatus and will be coming to a conclusion in the near future (I think!). My muses are already working on another story idea, but I'm desperately trying to keep them on track to finish one before I start another -- we'll see! Feel free to PM me with prompts or ideas for McAbby or IPS - I love to hear from you guys!
