Can't help it... I tried... but in the end I'm a helpless Otaku! And, yes... I'm too old to still be doing his, but I LOOOVE IT. And really enjoy reading FanFics.

So I really appreciate the effort the writers of this stories put in them (Therefore I usually leave a review and a congrats. If I liked the story)), especially when they maintain the characters identity.

Having said this, my favorite stories are – of course – the Romantic ones, even more if they have a happy ending - And yes … with the traditional couples.. I don’t like alternate pairings (there are some rare exceptions). Eventually I read alternate Universes, but I prefer the normal ones, and the continuations of the TV Series.

Favorite Anime Couples:

- Nami & Zoro (One Piece)

- Nodame & Chiaki (Nodame Cantabile)

- Lawrence & Horo (Spice & Wolf)

TV SHOWS

On a more "realistic" plane, these are my favourite TV shows Fanfictions and their couples

- NCIS (I love, love, love... and can't do without.. Tony & Ziva!! I adore Tiva)

- Bones (Die hard fan of B&B - Booth & Brennan; I also like Angela & Hodgins)

- Numb3rs (I like the show, but I like Rob Morrows better)

- Chuck (Chuck & Sarah)

- The Big Bang Theory (Penny & Leonard... got to love the geek. I absolutely have the Penny/Sheldon pairing)

Stories that I Love reading, or that i would like to find...

- I'm not fond o crossovers, but there is one i would like to see, NCIS/Numb3rs... Just too see the character of Don Epps as FBI agent interact in a case with Gibbs team, and mainly working with Ziva... making Tony insanely jealous.

- I'll read almost anything having to do with the elevator scene between Tony & Ziva

- The same goes for any soapy romantic story about Ziva telling tony the truth about Ari's death...

- And, anything following up with the episode "Semper fidelis"
