Three (and a half) things

[beckymonster]

First off, the half thing. I AEN'T DED!

*cough*

First thing - do I have such a thing as a damn good Gen beta on the flist? All that is required is a passing knowledge of NCIS (namely the characters and their main interactions). That and it's about 550 words long. Leave a message after the beep in the usual place.


Second thing - In which episode does Tony call Jimmy a 'gremlin'? I've got it narrowed down to Season 2 but other than that... halp?
Why, yes, I *have* watched NCIS 6x16... does it show?!


Third thing - just had an e-mail from The BFI in London. In April, they have a 'thread' dedicated to Cubby Brocolli - founder of EON productions and of course, responsible for the Bond franchise of movies. This thread is carrying on into May and... they'll be showing all 22 movies.

This? Could be interesting (and expensive!). Good job I don't have a life then isn't it?!

Okay - there is a lemon yogurt calling my name and I feel that a certain movie geek wants to chat... I promise not to vanish so long the next time;)

I can beta gen NCIS.

And in Boxed In, Tony called him "Autopsy Gremlin" when talking to Ziva.

Well... actually, you're (partly) the inspiration for the story. Remember a convo you had about writing a gen story involving porn? It spawned!

Re: 'gremlin' - it's not 'Boxed In'. Tony happens upon Jimmy giving Abby a massage and shoos him off calling him a gremlin in the process - but I *still* can't place the episode!

*headdesk*

Oh! Oh! The massage one. Umm... lemme think on that. I just saw it recently.

I'm an inspiration! LOL!!!

Could that have been Hometown Hero? That's the one where Abby and Kate were going to the spa, but got sidetracked by a case and had to cancel.

Is your offer still good?

My fannishness seems to be on the upswing (for a change!) and am looking to strike while the iron is hot...

If so, where and how? (I has a Mac and just want to make sure that I have the right format to send!)

Sure, as long as it's not an epic. Epics take longer. :-) I've got commitments today and a fic to beta when that's done (though I think it's shortish). If you don't mind not getting anything until later in the week, send it on.

If you're using Word, you should be able to save it as Word for PC. Or, RTF would be fine. Or even just plain text. Just review it after you save it as the new file type to make sure it doesn't do anything weird. :-) Just email me at the address in my profile. Be warned, I'm a tough beta, but it's all about the story and the story is whatever one *you're* telling, not the one *I* might want to see.

[becky-monster.livejournal.com]

Cool!

I've sent it along - it's not long at all. About 600 words all told. There is no rush to get it back or anything.

The epics are... circling but I don't have anything too big in the pipeline and if I did... I'd ask first;)

Be warned, I'm a tough beta, but it's all about the story and the story is whatever one *you're* telling,

You say that like it's a bad thing? No, seriously, I understand and am grateful that you've mentioned it up front. It's quite disconcerting to have stuff come back and it's nigh on shredded when you didn't expect that to be so.

So... have at it!

[tejas.livejournal.com]

Will do! If you don't see it in your inbox by say, Thursday, poke at me. :-)

If you don't want/need extensive canon knowledge, I've got enough knowledge (awareness of who's who and general storylines) to beta NCIS if you need it.

Ummm...

[becky-monster.livejournal.com]

I know you offered over a month ago (hecky thump... when I fall off the planet, I *fall* off!)... but...

Is the offer still open?

*looks hopeful*

I seem to be on the fannish upswing and intend to make the most it!

Anytime, sweetie.

He refers to Jimmy as 'Autopsy Gremlin' quite a lot - it's not a one off thing.

I'll do some checking of the transcripts later and see if I can tie it down to eps.

[becky-monster.livejournal.com]

He refers to Jimmy as 'Autopsy Gremlin' quite a lot - it's not a one off thing.

It's one specific instance I'm looking for - Jimmy in Forensics with Abby, giving her a massage when Tony hustles him out, calling him a gremlin.

I can see the scene in my head - I just can't attach it to the rest of the episode.

[nakeisha.livejournal.com]

Ah, right. He actually calls him that to his face?

Okay . . . Now that I don't recall.

I recall the Jimmy massaging Abby. It's when she says 'your hands on me (or on my body) now' IMS. I just don't recall the Tony calling Jimmy gremlin. I shall dig further.

But yes, I too can see the 'massage' bit.

Edit Okay, found it. But Tony does indeed call Jimmy 'Gremlin' - well remembered!

It's from 'Hometown Hero' and it goes:

ABBY: What’s up, Palmer?
JIMMY: I brought you a substance for analysis.
ABBY: Where’d you get it?
JIMMY: The victim’s femur bone.
ABBY: Just put it over there.
JIMMY: Hey, sorry to hear about your weekend.
ABBY: Oh, hm… Tony?
JIMMY: Yeah, mass email. The sender was anonymous, but it was pretty obvious.
ABBY: Lots of lascivious references.
JIMMY: You know, the inefficient flow of ki is a major source of stiffness. Silent auction item at my niece’s school benefit. A weekend seminar in the Art of Shiatsu.
ABBY: Do me.
JIMMY: Uh… I showed up late.
ABBY: Your hands. My body. Now! Ah! Ah!
TONY: What the hell are you doing, Palmer?
JIMMY: Ah… ah… ah…
TONY: You read the Agency police on sexual harassment, didn’t you, Palmer?
JIMMY: It wasn’t like that!
(MUSIC CLICKS OFF)
TONY: It never is. Now go, you little autopsy gremlin! Get out of here. What have you got, Abs?
