I've now answered the fiction meme questions on LJ and on Dreamwidth.

Gacked from settiai:
Inspired by Doctor Who's "Turn Left:" Pick one of my stories and tell me a point in the tale that you'd change. Something tiny (e.g. "and then Fay chose silver glitter instead of gold") or big (e.g. "and then Rose was arrested instead of Jack") and I'll tell you how that one difference would have altered the course of the entire story.

My fic is on my website

bujold_fic is having their annual fic-fest; they are now accepting prompt submissions, in case any y'all are interested.

Has anyone else noticed that Gibbs always calls Caitlin Todd "Kate", but he always calls Tony DeNozzo "DeNozzo". Except when he's introducing them as "Special Agent Todd" and "Special Agent DeNozzo". And what's with all these Special Agents? Are there any plain Agents?

Yep, I'm churning through them.
I'm kind of surprised I'm playing "spot the actor" with this again; I usually tend to do that more with British or Canadian shows. But this time it was "Eeeeee!" when I saw Adam Baldwin, and I kept on wondering if one of the actresses was the same person who'd played Darla in Buffy (I've now checked with IMDB, and the answer is "yes").

Wow, this show has really hit its stride! Interesting to see how obsessed Gibbs is about what happened in "Bete Noir". Tony is still an idiot most of the time. It's interesting how McGee has become a semi-regular.

matrithon, "a ficathon to celebrate women the age of 40 and over." Any and all fandoms are welcome. It's one of those "free prompt" ficathons rather than an exchange ficathon. I've been having fun submitting prompts.

Now that was a good episode. Facing your nightmares... or failing to face them.

This episode is kind of haunting.

That was actually a good plot there. A mixture of truth and paranoia. Intriguing.

One question, for folks in the US: Sherrifs get elected to their positions? Not appointed? That seems really strange. Then again, the whole durisdiction thing strikes me as a bit dumb, since all it ever seems to do is make things more difficult. But then, I live in Victoria, which has one police force for the entire state. And the police chief sure don't get elected.
Anyways...
