I am a thirty-something, female, South African fic reader mostly, although I have written (and aborted after a scant few chapters when I couldn't get the plot to work as I wanted or envisioned it to) a JAG/Bridget Jones's Diary Xover fic on the JAG shipper site at Yahoo.

I also wrote a oneshot JAG songfic - though I generally LOATHE songfics with a passion, because I hardly ever know the songs that they are based on - based on Alanis Morissette's song "Your house" (the hidden track on her wonderful CD 'Jagged little pill' - but the version on the original 'Jagged little pill' of that song is IMHO FAR better than the version that is on the acoustic 'Jagged little pill'). This oneshot is now loaded on this site at:

In retrospect, I'm convinced my aborted JAG/Bridget Jones's Diary Xover fic should also have been a oneshot, but maybe with a oneshot-length A/N.

I beta for fic authors on occasion.

I read JAG and Harry Potter. I started reading NCIS fics again on 19 July 2008 and I beta them for an author or two (I think). My favourite pairings are Kibbs, Gabby, McAbby and though I haven't read any yet, I would probably like Fornell/whoever, as he should have someone, don't you think? I never read anything with DiNozzo as a part of the pairing, as I find him so odious that I can't fathom how anybody would even GET into a pairing situation with him. I can't explain why I do not read Mibbs, but I will ponder it and let everybody know as soon as I have figured out why. Oh, and though they're scarcer even than hen's teeth, I like McKate fics too. Very, very recently I started to read some Jibbs, but not all of the loads that are posted. I also like reading fics that has Sarah McGee, Timothy McGee's little sister (from the season 4 ep 'Twisted sister') in them. I occasionally check out the few Diana Gabaldon fics for updates and, since the second week of July (when a South African satellite TV station started broadcasting some season 1 eps, which I kind of got into) West Wing fics as well. Also I check out Army wives fics since about June 2008 too. Jed/Abbey, Charlie/Zoey, Josh/Donna, Sam/Ainsley, Harm/Mac, Harry/Hermione, Ron/Luna, Remus/Tonks, George/Angelina, Fred/Alicia, Katie/Oliver, Sirius/Remus, James/Lily and Minerva McGonagall/Albus Dumbledore.

Whenever I read HP fics, the mental pic I have of Albus Dumbledore is Richard Harris, unless it turns out to be a manipulative and still evil sort of Dumbledore, then the mental pic is Michael Gambon.
