I'm an avid reader and aspiring writer living in the Southern U.S.

Huge fan of college football, especially the Alabama Crimson Tide! Roll Tide Roll!

I am addicted to fan fiction and NCIS is my favorite obsession, I mean, show :-)

Gibbs is my favorite character. The older I get the hotter he gets!

I was very privileged to get to meet Mark Harmon and get his autograph in the late 90's. I almost made it onto the elevator with him, except his very large bodyguard and my husband intervened!!!

Favorite Pairings: JIBBS (sigh), although I read other Gibbs pairings. Gibbs/Abby, Gibbs/Ziva and Gibbs/Dinozzo have become recent favorites. Sense a theme there? I also enjoy case fics and stories including the whole team.

It's hard finding time to write and I truly admire those writers who can consistently publish stories on FFN, daily, weekly, monthly.

I'm averaging a story a year! Woo hoo!

4-18-13 NOTE: I have a long loony list and very limited writing time, RL and work are wreaking havoc on my schedule, so all of my stories are on temporary hiatus.

COLLABORATIONS:

I've co-written two Gibbs/Abby stories with the awesome Gosgirl, http://www.fanfiction.net/u/2687218/, who is a very bad influence! LOL

NANOWRIMO:

8-18-11 I have made the exciting and frightening decision to participate in the 2011 NaNoWriMo, National Novel Writing Month,

I will attempt to write a 50,000 word novel in the month of November. Wish me luck! I'll most certainly need it.

Update: 11/1/11 - The Nanowrimo has begun. I'm writing my Gibbs sailing fic, Gulf Route to Mexico! Plans are to write it during Nanowrimo, edit in December and post in January. If all goes well.

Nano update 1/31/12: Well I did not win Nano, but I gave it a good try. Got about 17,000 words, 20 chapters, 77 pages, into "Gulf Route" so that is a great start. Hope to have it completed and posted by April, 2012. The NANOWRIMO was an awesome experience, and I will do it again in 2012.

SPECIAL SHOUTOUTS:

I have several friends on FFN that have been hugely supportive of me and my writing. I want to mention them specifically because their support has meant the world to me.

Elflordsmistress, who encouraged me to write in the first place and I probably never would have had the courage without her..

MEWofford, ltjvt1026, USAFChief, and Geeklovefan who encouraged, read and reviewed my early efforts.

Gosgirl, Zivacentric and Iyimgrace, who untiringly support, nag, cajole, encourage and patiently wait for me to finally complete something and post it. And, especially for their help and encouragement with "Gulf Route to Mexico".

Special thanks to all of you who have taken the time to read, review, PM, alert or favorite my stories. I appreciate it so much!

Thanks y'all!

Love and Hugs! Bamacrush
