Hi everyone,

I thought I should introduce myself a bit after I already started posting my stories around here. My name is Maren, but actually everyone just calls me Kari. I´m 23 years old and live in northern Germany.

I´ve started writing fanfiction when I was about 12 years old -not in English yet, but in German. That was back in those times before I had a computer and internet and a wonderful community like this one. It was just pen&paper, my eyes only stuff. I got into a roleplay based on fictional stuff later on and somehow that landed me here.

My favorite TV-show at the moment is Navy NCIS, along with CSI, CSI-Miami, CSI-NY and so on. I don´t know what made me start writing NCIS-fanfic, but I kinda like borrowing the characters for a ride once in a while. They are airing the second season at the moment, last episode I watched was "An eye for an eye", so I don´t have a clue about "Twilight" and the new team member yet.

Anyway, that much about me now, I hope you´ll enjoy reading my stories. I´m always happy about reviews, positive and negative ones as I think you can only improve as a writer when people tell you what you´re doing right or wrong.

Additional Note: Thanks to everyone who has read and reviewed my stories. It really makes me happy that you like my work. I will keep going with the stories, maybe even some sequels as long as you want to read them. If you want me to stop, go ahead and let me know. My e-mail box is always open.

Kari

(btw: Kari is NOT a fusion of Kate and Ari -I´ve been asked about it before, but that´s not where it comes from. It´s the shortversion of Hikari, which is Japanese for light. I have been given this nickname by a friend and still honor it deeply)
