I have a little bit of advice for you guys. No matter what happens, keep writing. People can disagree with what you're writing. They can hate on you because they don't like what's happening in the story. But never forget - this is your story. Make it and keep it your own; don't always bend to the will of the reviewer. While it is a good idea to keep criticism in mind, don't just take feedback as words from God. Be able to back yourself up. If someone points out a mistake that is everything but, don't be afraid to explain yourself. And don't be afraid to write - never be afraid to write - based on the reviews you get. Trust me, I've gotten some very angry reviews in the past in response to turn of events that people don't like. Just keep in mind: writing isn't just for the audience. It's for you, too.

Hey there, welcome to my page. As you can see, I go by SpecialAgentZiva, as she was my favourite character in NCIS. You can probably tell that I write mainly for crime dramas, so, if that's what you're in to, you might just find some interesting stories here. :) Unfortunately, I've decided to stop publishing new NCIS stories as I've lost interest in the show; however, I plan to finish most of the ones I've already started (never fear!).

I prefer to write stories that make you think. Yes, I write my fluffy one-shots every once and a while, but I actually prefer to write angst and suspense. Generally, these are case, death, or undercover stories (Darkest being an example of one of these fiches). I'm a huge fan of suspense and cliffhangers. While they can drive me crazy in other peoples' works (because I want to know more, of course), I absolutely love making readers crazy. You should probably take that as a warning! ;)

My works are generally composed of crime drama fanfiction though I have stepped out of that twice (writing Resident Evil fanfiction). My favourite shows to write for happen to be Castle and Sherlock. I used to write a lot for NCIS but lately my interest in that has dwindled. I recently took interest in the show "The Killing" so I hope plans to put that up as a category!

So, what's next? What are you writing?

I have about a few thousand fiches that need to be completed. Eep! I'm not really focussed on one fix over any others right nowl I tend to write whenever inspiration strikes and takes me somewhere. But, if you're curious, my current writing progress is:

Tearing Down Towers - 4 chapters posted - 5 chapters completed (Sherlock)

I'd Say I'm Sorry - 2 chapters posted - 5 chapters completed (Sherlock)

Learning To Live - 0 chapters posted - 6 chapters completed (Sherlock) *this is the sequel to "Playing With Life"

Protecting The Innocent - 0 chapters posted - 12 chapters completed (Sherlock)

Get Out Alive - 18 chapters posted - 18 chapters completed (NCIS) *this is currently not one of my main focusses but needed mention nevertheless.

Windows - 1 chapter posted - 1 chapter completed (Castle)

Mirror Image - 1 chapter posted - 1 chapter completed (Castle)

The Meaning Of Always - 1 chapter posted - 1 chapter completed (Castle) *completed

Those are generally my priority fics. My apologies to anyone wanting an update to Late Night Thoughts, Would He?, or any of those sort of stories. Still, be on the lookout - I might just update one of the other fics soon enough! After all, plot bunny steers my writing.

If you would like an update or sequel to a specific story, I'm always willing to hear your requests. Just send over a message and I'll see what I can do!

My goal right now is to finish most of my fictions, however it'll take a while to get to some of them. I'm proud to say I've completed 32 out of the 49 fanfictions I've published! That only leaves 17 more to finish (wow.)

If anyone is interested in reading a fanfic for The Killing, I have one here!

I have to give a warning to some of you who read my fanfics. c: First of all, please don't expect any pairings right off the bat in stories that are relatively long. I don't work that way. I love to make people wait, because it's hilarious for me to read the reviews. And by the way, I do actually read and love your reviews, even if I don't have time to reply. It makes me smile to know you guys are reading my work, and it's great when you actually like the end product. Thanks to anyone and everyone who has ever reviewed my work.

By the way, I don't bite. Feel free to message me; I'd love to talk to you! :)
