For a brief introduction, I'm Judy, I'm seventeen. I am obsessed with Harry Potter, and I'm addicted to Numb3rs fanfiction. I also read CSI (the Las Vegas version) fanfiction, and occasionally Navy NCIS.I don't watch much TV anymore, mostly because I got out of the habit last year. However, just about every week, I plop myself on my couch and watch Numb3rs. If I'm bored, sick, or otherwise find myself with excess times at the right times, I also like to watch Hell's Kitchen, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, and Criminal Minds.

For some other information about me, I am what a lot of people call a 'math nerd'. People even go as far as to call me a 'math genius'. I would consider myself borderline 'math smart' and 'math nerd'. Don't believe it if somebody tells you I am a 'math genius', though. I do not spend my free time thinking of theorems (heck, I nearly failed my Geometry course). But, yes, I would accept 'math nerd' as an accurate description for me.

Along with enjoying math, I spend my free time writing stories (or poems, sometimes), or studying music of some sort. I especially enjoy singing, but I also play piano (this is my twelfth year, though as of last year, I no longer take lessons), and I've played clarinet. Currently, I am saving up for a guitar and the necessary accessories for teaching myself how to play it once I get it. I write original fiction as well as fanfiction, but I generally prefer fanfiction. For plot lines, I can generally keep it in my head, but if I have to come up with my characters, I prefer to spend up to a month coming up with their characteristics, skills, history, and faults. If I write fanfiction, the characters are pretty much handed to me on a silver platter, along with all the fixings.

Some people have asked me how I've gotten ideas for my stories. The true answer is: I'm not quite sure. I find it does help if I can connect with one of the characters in a certain situation, and then I take that idea from there. This is probably why it's easy for me to write from Charlie Eppes' point of view, or a story about Charlie, because I feel I can really connect to the math nerd and how he is feeling. For original fiction or original characters, I take personality traits from myself and/or some of my friends, but I try not to write about Mary Sues, or carbon copies of my friends without their explicit consent. (People I don't like, though, I can sometimes take and make the antagonist in a story.

One of my greatest pet peeves is when authors write stories with no sense of spelling or grammar (see icon). To me, it doesn't matter if the story idea is the best I have ever heard of. Sentences that have no punctuation (or very little), bad spelling, etc, show to me that the writer doesn't care about the story much, and if the author doesn't care about the story, why should I? Keep in mind, I don't mean an occasional misspelling or grammer mistake.That happens to everyone. I also don't mean if the characters in the story are actually using chatspeak (instant messaging, passing notes, etc). What I care about is language like chat-speak. Lyk, u haff no idea wut im sayin, do u/ That said, if anybody is upset about this, and you believe you fall into this catagory of people, but you really do care about your story, I'm willing to beta-read your story. I would prefer one of the shows/book catagories I mentioned earlier and select other shows, but as long as I know the basic story line, I will be willing to read over your story. That's why I leave my private messaging and email open.

TO THOSE DIRECTED HERE FROM LILJUNEBUG'S PROFILE OR STORIES: Lives of Sacrifice and Private Matters were ideas that lilJunebug had, and she worked with me on them to write them. However, if you are looking more for her writing style rather than her story ideas, you aren't going to find them here. Our writing styles are very different, and I'm not saying one is better than the other. Give the two stories a shot, but don't expect to see her writing style in them.

Status of my stories:
Circling DownwardsNumb3rs/NCIS crossover My response to D. Lerious' challenge. A year hiatus was horrible. I know. And it's taking a while for me to get back into writing. It also didn't help that this past year, I didn't watch ANY NCIS, so I'm not as up to date on that. Keep in mind; I developed this story during the 2005-2006 season of both shows. All you Numb3rs fans: Yes, that means that Colby is a good guy in this world. I do like to keep somewhat cannon, and this is...for the time I was planning and developing the story.
Safety in Numbers: Numb3rs This was inspired by all the people in the past who have asked me, "Why do you like math?", as well as by the people on one of the Numb3rs forums about how Charlie seems disconnected from the rest of the world because math consumes him. Hopefully, this will show people why he (and other math nerds/geeks) get involved with math and that, yes, we are human as well. This story may come off in the future to fix up, put more detail in it, etc.
A Family of His Own (working title): Numb3rs A story that I started last year for my creative writing workshops that I've written a few chapters for. However, I wasn't able to publish back then because of worries of plagerizing "somebody else's work" (since there's no way to positively ID myself online to my teacher), and when I was finally able to, my old computer crashed and I lost that story. I'm looking around for the hard copy, and my teacher thinks she might have a copy as well, so I hope to get this up after I finish Circling Downwards.
Suspects Numb3rs I'm getting a lot of response on this asking why Don and Charlie would be considered suspects. Basically, they were the last ones to see the girl alive, and they had no suspects to begin with. This story is now complete, though people are asking for a sequel...
The Challenge Numb3rs A quick one-shot, written for Valentine's Day. I may do a prequel on this, however.
Lives of Sacrifice Harry Potter Complete, and it may be the last Harry Potter story I write for a while.
A Kiss for the Ages Harry Potter A little oneshot (more of a drabble, really), based on Mugglenet's Winter Challenge. I don't generally write that much fluff, but I do like reading it, so I took a stab at it.
I'm Coming Harry Potter A short oneshot that is based off of one of my Lit assignments.
Private Matters Harry Potter My only Marauders piece, though I want to write a couple other stories of this era soon.
Or So It Would Seem Harry Potter A Draco/Hermione poem. Honestly, I have no idea how I came up with the idea, because it's not on my list of ships I support. But, when you're inspired, you're inspired, right?
