Dear Yuletide Writer,

Thank you so much for volunteering to write a fic for me! Please feel free to take a look around my journal if you want to see what kinds of stories I like. You can find my Fanfic Masterlist here, and the fics are also tagged by fandom and/or title in the sidebar. As you can see, I mostly read and write m/m slash, but if you don't feel comfortable writing that, I would be perfectly happy with a gen story, (or also het, for the fandoms that have female characters) too!

( Cut for spoilers about the various canons... )

I was reading People magazine (Nov. 26, 2012, the Sexiest Man Alive issue), and listed among the "red hot stars of 2012" was Eric Christian Olsen, who plays Deeks on NCIS: Los Angeles. He was talking about how he stays in shape: "My brother, who's also my stunt double and an ex-Navy SEAL, designed a workout for us." (It's on p.118 of the magazine if you want to check out it, although it's just a short paragraph and a photo rather than a full article.)

I just found it amusing since one of the characters on the show is an ex-SEAL (Sam Hanna, played by LL Cool J). And also because I recently finished reading the Troubleshooters series of novels by Suzanne Brockmann, in which many of the characters are Navy SEALs or ex-Navy SEALs. Some of the former SEALs have formed a private security company called Troubleshooters, Inc. (hence the title of series) that often takes on contracted jobs for the military. Anyway, I was just LOLing at the idea of one of the Troubleshooters guys being offered a job as a stuntman--which is not out of the realm of possibility, since one of the supporting characters is a famous actor.

I've reviewed the Troubleshooters series here, here, and here, and I've also requested the fandom for Yuletide. Which reminds me that I've been meaning to create a Troubleshooters tag, so I'll add that now!

In my first review of two original slash novels, queen2408 recommended PsyCop: Partners in the comments. I also found yet another m/m novel at the library: All Through the Night: a Troubleshooter Christmas.
