very cool! I wish the series would touch upon McGee's writing again *grumble*

So do I! It offers such an interesting look at the team, and says a lot about McGee himself. I would just love for that to be revisited!

Thanks for your comment, I'm glad you liked the story. :)

I really enjoyed these. Nice way to get inside Tim's head. I agree with the other commenter - I miss that aspect of his character in the show. I am assuming that he quit writing after his book got people killed, but it makes me sad, because now his character seems much more boring. Anyway, great set of scenes - I think his panic at realizing he was about to write a Gibbs sex scene was my favorite. Poor Timmy! But the Kate/Jane one is awesome too.

I always thought that one of the best ways to really understand McGee would be to take a closer look at his writing. Compared to his teammates, he's usually pretty reticent, but that doesn't seem to be the case when he's writing - especially freewriting.
It makes sense for him to have stopped writing L.J. Tibbs books after the events of "Cover Story" (and death threats from certain teammates). but somehow I can't imagine that he stopped writing altogether. I really wish they'd explore on the show!

Heh, I had lots of fun imagining McGee trying to write smut involving Gibbs, especially in season three, where he was still so young and innocent. Poor guy!^^ The scene about Kate'd death, while not exactly fun, was definitely fascinating to write. The team was in a completely different world, emotionally, at least, during "Kill Ari," and I found exploring the darkness there extremely compelling.

I'm very glad to hear you enjoyed the story! Thank you for taking the time to comment! :D
