- Welcome -

First off, I'd like to say a big sincere thank you to everyone who's taken the time to review, favorite, or story-alert one of my fics. You make my day! :)

My stories tend to be angsty and melodramatic. I wish I was better at funny, light-hearted stuff. I'm also terrible at titles and summaries, so you can't always judge my stories by those. Smut is my guilty pleasure, and I also enjoy reading really bad fanfiction, because it makes me feel better about my own. Most of my fics are NCIS (mostly centered around either Gibbs or Ziva), but I do try to write stories for a wide variety of fandoms, especially ones that aren't well-known and don't have a lot of fics. Most of my fics are one-shots. I'd like to write more multi-chapter stuff, but extended storylines just don't come to me that often.

I take special pride in my stories about Jewish characters in different fandoms, which I write as a way to build my Jewish identity. So far, I have a number of stories about NCIS's Ziva that deal with her faith: namely, Hell and High Water, where she has a mikvah; Like Home, where she eats challah; Next Year, Ducky's, which addresses Passover; and With Blood On Her Hands, set on Yom Kippur. In other fandoms, I have stories on X-Men's Erik, Cease Your Raging, that touches on his lost faith; The Goonies's Chunk, Merry and Bright, where he celebrates Hanukkah; and Sex and the City's Charlotte, Blossom Like a Lily, where she contemplates raising her new daughter in a faith that's still new to her.

A few other things I love...
TV: King of the Hill, Law & Order: SVU, NCIS, Star Trek: The Next Generation.
Books: Harry Potter, The Hunger Games, Peter Pan, The Red Tent, Watership Down.
Other: The Beatles, JM Barrie, Les Misérables (the musical; the book and non-musical movies are meh to me, but when I hear those songs, I'm on my feet and singing along!), Shirley Temple, Young Actresses.

Why I Write:
"If there is a book you really want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it." Toni Morrison.

2011 NCIS Ficathon Results:
Written by me: Defensive Wounds, for Sarah Withers.
Written for me: The Old Guard, by Yamikinoko.
