And lots of other questions...

[bau_inbox mods? *waves* Hi. Er. Please don't link to this. I'm just rambling...]

Good morning, lovelies. Possibly? I've spent two days pretty much doing nothing, watching Criminal Minds and trying to stay conscious. I'm still trying to get my head round the idea that I have to do stuff today. Seriously? Sheesh. That's overrated. How's everyone else? Good weekend planned?

Also, Criminal Minds fandom? Seriously, folks. Where's the Gen fic? There's fewer long Gen fics here than there is in SGA. There's fewer than Torchwood. What's with that? Where are the epics of any kind? Where are the plotty casefics? Where's the crack, the comedy, the character studies? Bring out your Gen! Bring out your Gen!

*puts hands on hips* Criminal Minds fandom, get your act together. Don't make me come in there and do it for you.

Ahem. *climbs off soapbox* I feel much better now, so am off to hoover the sheep and dust some cakes. Have a good day, all.

*hollers* That would be beyond fabulous if you could. Because there is SO much stuff out there, but a lot of it seems to be bad!fic, or worse, mediocre!fic :( I've found a handful of stuff I've enjoyed, but most of it just has me clicking the back button...

For the slash- KSL (http://www.geocities.com/kslmag7/ncis) wonderful- plotty, long, developing stories and series. She manages to gives Gibbs a bit of vulnerability too. You can't go wrong with anything she writes, but especially Risk and Reward (and the risky series) and Opening the Box (and the box step series). And if you ever think the team doesn't appreciate Tony enough, read Purgatory.

the premiere pre-series how Tony came to NCIS (team fic in a way that it's Gibbs and Abby too) is Sequitur's Rictus (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2404010/1/)

kikkimax (http://www.fanfiction.net/u/617175/kikkimax)has some great gen ones too (oh, and Jades- apparently writes CM also!) plotty with real cases and clues with Tony as the focus. Angels and Heroes is probably the best known.

For G/D case fic also lady_ra' (http://www.visionsofprettyboys.com/NCIS/NCISStories.htm)s Tears (my favorite of hers is Christmas Miracle though)

umm, got tons more. Let me know specifically what you're looking for before I spam Jade's LJ to death

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

Heh, spam away, hon. It's all in interests of good fic, which is something I'm in favour of ;D

Hee, thank you kindly! *bookmarks links*

It's difficult to explain exactly what I look for in fic. I like slash, but hate unrealistic relationships (you know the ones with two guys making out in the middle of the street and no-one bats an eyelid, that kind of thing). I love gen, but not the kind which goes out of its way to avoid mention of relationships (what's wrong with a bit of UST and fading to black?). I really don't like anything that involves any kind of coercion or control in the relationship, but I have some BDSM fics on my del.icio.us page (although not many). I like plot, but will also read PWPs if they say something about the character... Yeah, I know, I'm awkward. Sorry *flutters eyelashes*

Um, if it helps my del.icio.us account is here (http://delicious.com/miss_zedem) - I haven't got many NCIS fics bookmarked, but I have some SGA on there and you might be able to discern a pattern for 'if you liked that, you might like this' purposes...

Oh, yes, I absolutely know what you mean. And I completely understand about the alluded to pre-slash/fade to black sort of style.

Is Tony your favorite?

I'll potted about and look at your bookmarks and then come back and suggest more.

I do love Tony, and get quite upset when he's mistreated/underestimated in canon. I think the actor does a great job of showing the layers - the surface act of being sexist and a bit of an airhead coupled with the intelligence he tries to hide and some quite obvious pain - which fic-writers seem to often miss. I'm also a big fan of Abby, and Tony and Abby's friendship. So anything featuring her would be a bonus.

Oh dear, I'm being incredibly demanding, aren't I? You shouldn't have asked... Can I offer due South recs at all? As that's probably all I'm placed to rec at the moment... Or I could write you an SGA story as a thank you - I've already got a list of fics I'm writing for people over the next few months (it's a More Joy Day thing, and the promise is that I'll write a proper fic sometime before next More Joy Day, ie next January), so adding one more isn't a big deal ;)

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

Oh no worries! I'm happy to spread the NCIS love around.

I know exactly what you mean about Tony! Masks and layers. No one sees the real him. My internet's being spotty today, but I'll be back with more recs when I can!
