WHERE HAS ALL THE M-RATED STUFF GONE? Well, hopefully it's still here. But if it's been deleted by the website monkeys, you can find backups at jelenamichelfanfic[dot]blogspot[dot]com[dot]au.

Hi, I'm jelenamichel.

I'm a comms creative by day and an origami folding, canvass painting, furniture building, fanfic writing, TV watching chick by night.

I've been reading and writing fanfic since I came across X-Files fic circa 1994. Since then, I've been through three Macs, my 20s, half my 30s, and countless reams of paper on which I've written about 500 fanfic pieces. (In case you're wondering, the answer is yes. I do have excellent handwriting.) I took the plunge and posted my first piece online in April 09. Now I'm addicted.

These days I'm long over my X-Files fanfic obsession, and I even kicked by Buffy, Angel and Alias habits. My new drug of choice is NCIS fanfic, which I only started mainlining after the episodes Cloak and Dagger in season 6. Specifically, the elevator scene, which was all kinds of hot.

I try to keep my stories as in character as possible, but as I write more and more, I find the situations I write about becoming less and less plausible. My only defence is that fanfic is creative writing. Oh, and I'm lazy. That can be a defence, right?

I hope you like what I do. And if not, tell me in a constructive way. I promise I won't get cranky.

I run a website called the NCIS Guidebook. It's a resource site for fanfic writers, that lists all the episodes and the relevant information we receive in them about the characters, e.g. family background, previous employment, past relationships, daddy issues, injuries...all the kind of stuff that ends up in fanfiction. Pre-series JAG episodes, seasons one to six, and most of season eight are currently listed. The remaining seasons will be added in due course (stopping at season ten). Go over and raid it for ideas and information - www[dot]ncisguidebook[dot]com.

For snarky, personal, screen cap-based recaps of episodes I've just started blogging at jelenamichel[dot]blogspot[dot]com[dot]au That website's different to my fanfic blog noted above, FYI. Tumblr is jelenamichel[dot]tumblr[dot]com.
