This is an NCIS slash zine so don’t be peeking around for Jack and Daniel. It’s a first for us, to have an entire slash zine devoted to a fandom other than SG1. The thing the two have in common, it seems to me as an outsider seeing these stories for the first time is the ‘team as family’ aspect we all love so well – as well as several options for believable slash pairings.
When I published the first set of zines, I’d never really paid attention to the show and characters. It was the stories in the first zines that led me to view the series for the first time, and seek out other stories to find a rich base of talented authors and artists who truly love the characters. I now own the box sets. I’ve also written my first two stories for the fandom (one in this zine and another in the gen volume). SG1 remains my first active fandom love and I’ll never leave them behind, but now there are more characters who inspire me and that can only be a good thing. ;)
Once again, Annie was the driving force to get this done. Don’t know what I’d do without you, hon.
Thanks also to all the authors and artists who stepped up to make this zine a reality. You’ve done amazing work.
