MFU-NCIS Tuesday: Teamwork

Since I had an MFU question last week, let's try an NCIS question this week. Which team do you think worked or works together best?

The "Kate" team: Gibbs, Tony, Kate, McGee, Ducky, Abby, Director Tom Morrow (was that supposed to be a play on words?)

The "Jenny" team: Gibbs, Tony, Ziva, McGee, Ducky, Abby, Director Jenny Shepard

The "Vance" team: Gibbs, Tony, Ziva, McGee, Ducky, Abby, Director Leon Vance

Marianne said...: I almost hate to admit it, but I think the Vance team works best together. I didn't think I would like Vance, but he's growing on me as a leader.

The Kate team was working from the disadvantage of show being brand new with the actors still getting to know their own characters. But once the show found its footing I didn't like Tony's uber frat boy personality (much more than now) and the childish relationship he had with Kate.

The main problem with the Jenny team was Jenny. By the last season she was on, she seemed absolutely nuts.; December 29, 2009 at 12:46 AM

Mini-Profile

I am a "Man From U.N.C.L.E." first cousin (I realize I've just told you I'm old, but I'm not ancient - yet), and I've learned that there are a lot of first, second and third cousins who love UNCLE!

Because of UNCLE, I have followed the careers of both actors, although I admit that I'm a devoted, non-stalking, David McCallum fan.

After being unknowingly side-lined in December 2008 by my employer and further side-lined by a health issue, I decided to take one of my 2008 Christmas presents, my MFU DVD set, and renew my love of UNCLE. When I watch the episodes now, I'm surprised that I remember many of the scenes and even bits of dialogue. It makes me feel like a kid again - almost.

With time to devote to my personal interests now, I have a few creative writing projects underway:

- An UNCLE story that will be submitted to "Eyes Only" when it's completed. It has evolved from a short story to a series of vignettes from the life of Illya Kuryakin from his stepping on the plane at the end of "Seven Wonders" until sometime in the early 1990's. A few months ago, after starting the bio project, I realized how events should flow. Once I have finished a rough sketch of the story, it will move aside for awhile so I can finish two other projects.

- An Illya bio or "Idol Reflection" for Live Journal. I've finished the first season, and the reflection is longer than the LJ limit. I have decided that a summary will be posted online, with the full text to be published.

- A true-to-the-series resolution for "Sapphire and Steel". I was 80-90% finished with the resolution when I watched the video, "Counting Out Time". In the video, Joanna Lumley made a comment about bringing Sapphire and Steel out of "The Trap" in the present day. I thought, (oh crap!) okay, I know how to make that happen. It's back to the storyboard for "Miles and Virginia". Because of the time-frame, this story is my first priority.

When I began my research for the Illya "Idol Reflection" in July 2009. I was given a two-month deadline. (Who's kidding whom?) With all the fanfic and episodes to review, it could take me the rest of this year to finish!

In joining the UNCLE world online, I've made several friends, as well as adopting a few cousins and a sister. From my extended family, I've realized there is a niche for a slash-free site to discuss MFU and MFU-based gen/het fanfic.

On Section II, gen/het fanfic authors have a forum to promote their work. As I've learned writing is a craft that is perfected through both effort and education, I'm including writers' resources on this site.

As a final note, since many Vaughn and McCallum fans have followed their careers since "The Man From U.N.C.L.E.", this site provides a forum to chat about other roles.

I hope you will visit Section II often. Please share your thoughts on the discussion topics and take advantage of the opportunity to promote your creativity. I also hope you will find something valuable in the information passed along on the site.

Thanks to all of you who have expressed your support for the site and have sent me kind words of encouragement!

All the best,
Cousin Cat
