So, as "research" for my NaNo story, I pose a few questions for those of you out there who love libraries, books, bookstores, etc.

1. What do you look for in a library?
2. What kinds of things make a library really neat or really sexy for you?
3. Whether you have them or not, are there any really special/awesome books that you think should be in someone's personal library?
4. Is there a library out there you'd pilgrimage to? (multiple are fine)
5. What do you look for in a bookstore?
6. Is there a bookstore out there you'd pilgrimage to? (multiple are fine)
7. What's your favorite physical aspect of a book?
8. Have you ever picked a book purely for its physical characteristics and not for its content? If so, what was it and what about the book made you get it?

I think that's it.

Het Big Bang 2012 is done and live!

My fic is here and there's a link to cute cover art for it, too!

Fandom: NCIS: LA
Title: Preparation
Pairing: G Callen/Nell Jones
Rating: PG-13
Spoilers: Post 02x12 - Overwatch
Word Count: ~2400
Disclaimer: These characters belong to CBS, Paramount, et al. No copyright infringement is intended.
Summary: A post-episode moment. Part of the "In Between" series. The "In Between" series is intended to take place in between the scenes (which includes immediately before/after an episode) of every episode of NCIS: LA since 02x04 - Special Delivery, when Nell Jones is first introduced. Covers season 2.

Also available on FFN, LJ, and AO3.

Note: Yeesh, sorry for the delay—AGAIN. Hopefully I'll have finished Season 2 and started on Season 3 before Season 4 starts, but one never knows. Also, I have another big bang fic in the works for this fandom, so this little series will take a little break as I work on it. I do still plan on finishing out the season at minimum! An infinite number of thanks to vegarin for the excellent beta services. And thanks to you guys for being awesome and leaving feedback, etc. I do notice and it is appreciated.

Note: Sorry for the delay again. Now that Season 3 has finished airing, maybe I’ll actually get these Season 2 snippets done and get started on Season 3. Ahaha, who am I kidding? Slow output is slow. In any case, we’re entering a stretch of episodes that don’t have much to offer Nell/Callen-wise, which means I have to make up more. Not necessarily a bad thing, but anyway. I know that on the other side of the slow episodes are a couple of awesome ones. So, patience, virtue, yadda yadda yadda. I can’t thank vegarin enough for reviewing this and offering some insights. The first draft was quite lacking and hopefully this offers some appropriate additions. I hope you guys enjoy it! I really appreciate and love all the feedback you guys leave. Y’all are awesome.

No, not like that, get your mind out of the gutter. ;)

Signups for the Het Big Bang 2012 challenge have opened up and will be until May 17. Do I sign up this year? Last year I did and ended up with a pretty awesome (i.e. I still like it) NCIS: LA fic.

Do I sign up for the stress and anxiety that could lead to something awesome again? Hmm...

Note: My apologies for taking so long with this one. I’m not sure why I had such massive writer’s block, but there it is. Thank you all for the encouraging feedback, it means a lot! Once again, many thanks to my lovely beta vegarin who catches the bits that need fixing and makes my fic better.

So, Easter brought about the normal slew of Easter-related fic on the Interwebs. I just realized this morning why most of it was irking me for no apparent reason.

Pretty much every single author referred to applying dye to eggs as "dying." Last I checked, "dying" is not interchangeable with "dyeing." Has that changed? Am I being annoyed for no reason?

Note: I was hoping to get more chapters out a little quicker but that didn’t quite work out with this one. This piece is longer than the rest, too, and gave me quite a few issues--it seemed to take a life of its own and all my planning kind of went out the window. An infinite number of thanks to vegarin for helping me through them!

Note: So, this was originally going to be something else and then it turned into "Paperwork." Again, this episode didn't really give me too much to work with directly, so I had to go the indirect route. I'm so sorry. :D Many thanks to vegarin who does a fantastic job of pointing out the little things. (Once again, I put a little episode summary at the end.)

Note: My apologies for the slowness of my output. I hope to be a little quicker now. This episode didn't really give me much to go on. Le sigh. I've provided an episode summary at the end for those who may be fuzzy on it. It's been a while since it aired! Many thanks to the ever helpful vegarin, she makes my fic readable. ;)

Girl, Interrupted
by danakate

Disclaimer: NCIS: LA isn't mine, I'm just playing around. No infringement intended!
Character: Nell Jones
Rating: PG
Word Count: ~1,000
Summary: Some days, she wonders how she ever gets anything done.
Author’s Notes: Just a little ficlet. No pairings, although there may be a small hint of Nell/Callen if you squint. Also, irony: the fact that I was constantly interrupted while writing this fic about Nell being constantly interrupted.

Also available at: FFN, LJ, AO3
