Greetings and welcome to my page,

To all the wonderful writers who have shared their stories, I herewith express my appreciation. I went from reading mostly canon settings to exploring different universes, and back again. I review stories with great pleasure, and am very pleased to receive feedback to my comments. Thanks guys!

The reason I came to FFN was my insatiable thirst for learning more about NCIS characters, and I stayed as I liked what I found. I've watched and re-watched all NCIS episodes from the pilot in JAG season 8, right through what's available to me of NCIS season 15. I have a particular liking for tags, as there are so many little moments in the show that invite further exploration.

In my story favorites you'll often discover but a few stories by the same author. See below why a story I loved, and commented accordingly may not be listed.

My muse often demands that I give Leroy Jethro Gibbs' point of view, but read a story of mine to find out what has me so fascinated. If you send a signed-in review, I'll respond to your comments, or at least send you a note of thanks. It's a great deal to hear from you. All PM are welcome, and much appreciated. As Abby would say, I hug you all in my mind, right now!

Cheers, VG LittleBear

The season 12 finale inspired me to open a topic in Forums NCIS Dissected (link) Season 12 - Troll, The Lost Boys, and Neverland (link).

I've been pleased to note that some of my stories have been added to other Communities, thank you!

French / français - depuis un certain temps je commente aussi en français. Je n'habite pas en France, mais on partage le même fuseau horaire. ;)

J'ai découvert AIPM - et je n'ai pas fini de lire tout ce que se rapporte à cela, d'ailleurs il n'y a pas de fin puisqu'il y a aussi le Forum NCIS-AIPM .

Une première, j'ai participé à une collection d'histoires pour Noël 2015, c-à-d mon texte:

Working Relationships (an on-going collection of one-shots from Gibbs' POV, each chapter is a completed one-shot in no particular order or sequence)

More about me:

Writing fanfiction started for me on this site. Though I've had favorite series before, I never wrote about them, nor do I feel I should.

Ever since I got here, my focus was and is on the TV show: NCIS (Naval Criminal Investigative Service). Special Agent Gibbs looks out for his team as in "you're never lonely when you have kids", and maintains a fine friendship with Dr. Donald "Ducky" Mallard, M.E. - FBI Senior Agent Tobias Fornell's "call me when you want to suffer" friendship with Gibbs is based on their no-nonsense approach to cutting through red tape, saving each other's life uncounted times, and they had been married to the same woman, Diane (Gibbs' ex-wife #1). I'm interested in the different dynamics in and around Gibbs' team, but no shipping (with the possible exception of Gibbs with Jenny Shepard).

The 'Gibbs Rules' started me on writing down a few of my own. For now, I'll keep the # that inspired it.

More rules - this is how I decided to use my "favorites" selections:

Favorite characters in film and books - I thought to tell you, but I realized that I have many characters I like and care about, from swashbuckling hero(ine) to intellectual hermit.

About reading books: I've been an avid reader ever since I managed to spell out my first word. I still remember the sense of accomplishment, when I succeeded reading my first bound book in one single afternoon. When I moved from fairy tales to other genres, I first went for historical novels, and whatever else I found in my parents' bookshelves, then I discovered Westerns, Science Fiction and Fantasy. I never stopped loving Andersen's and Grimms' fairy tales, but now there were JRR Tolkien, Marion Zimmer Bradley, Robert A Heinlein, Mercedes Lackey, Patricia Briggs, and George RR Martin, to name just a few. How does that fit with crime, you ask. Well, I've read Agatha Christie and Arthur Conan Doyle, too, and I never turn down a good thriller.

With FFN I've discovered the rewards of providing feedback to the author, and in many cases I read the comments of my fellow readers after I've submitted my own.
