Papa was a rodeo (Mama was a rock n' roll band) (NCIS crossover with many others)

[mhalachaiswords]

Sometimes, when I'm in the middle of a very long fic (NCIS/SGA at 32,000 words 4srsktnx), I like to try a little writing exercise. Today's exercise is a set of ascending drabbles (100 words, then 200 words, etc.) on a character I've never ficced before. Results are:

Papa was a rodeo (Mama was a rock n' roll band)The five stages of grief of Dr.

I don't watch enough NCIS to follow plots beyond an episode, but I loved these (Hi Bobby! Hi Jarod!). Also, a very neat writing exercise :).

These were awesome, if a bit spoilery for me, since I haven't seen season 5 yet. But that's okay, because I have been shamelessly begging my brother for spoilers for the last few months to no avail, so yay for fic spoilers! Anywho, it was totally interesting to see fic written from Jeanne's POV. And you are, as ever, the queen of the random crosover.

Speaking of slightly random crossovers, I've been following a BtVS/NCIS WIP the past few months that I think you might enjoy. It's kind of a drabble/chapter-fic, if that makes sense. Each chapter is a drabble, but they all connect to make one story, and it starts mid-season two for NCIS and mid-season 4 for BtVS. It's well-written, well-characterized, and it's the fic that got me into NCIS in the first place. Here's the link to all the chapters, if you want to check it out:

This was a really neat way to give Jeanne some closure (and perhaps it would ease Tony's mind, if he knew she'd finally landed in a good place . . . not that she'd ever contact him or want him to know where she is, though, I'm guessing!).

Lovely device with the five stages of grief and the escalating word counts, but I have to especially give you 'props' for letting Jeanne end up in Stars Hollow for the Acceptance stage: so good to think of her caring for Lane's boys and the rest of the town, and to get a glimpse of the continuing life of Luke and Lorelai and the rest through her eyes.

I'm liking your Gilmore Girls world. You even have me eyeballing the DVD's and I've watched ONE episode when I was sick :D

I don't even know this Dr Jeanne Benoit but I'm liking her immensely. She gives a new perspective of all the characters we enjoy from other shows and a new flavour to them.

These exercises of yours benefit us tremendously. *grin*
