Where does Abby fit?
OK, I have a question. And I'm not trying to start a flame war, just get some understanding of a characterization.
It seems like a lot of the Tim-centric fics I read, whether McNozzo or otherwise, are more anti-Abby than NCIS fics in general. And the ones that drive me crazy tend to be slash fics with Tim, usually paired with Tony. I know since Abby/McGee are canon, at least past canon, that she has to be dealt with somehow. But why take the "Abby abuses poor Timmy horribly" route? Although obviously there are lots of great T2 fics out there where Abby is their best friend, so not everybody goes that path.
Maybe it's just me, but I don't see evil Abby (no matter how many spikes on her collar). Anybody have any thoughts on where evil/selfish Abby comes from? Or am I just too much of a McAbby fan to be able to see it even when I'm putting Tim with Tony.

When I first wandered into the fandom, I definitely saw what you did -- that there was hardly any fic about Tim. I think in part that's because everyone saw McGee as more of a joke than a character. No one took him very seriously. But now that his fanbase has grown, a lot more fic has appeared. :D
That sucks about the abuse you got just for posting something different. D:
Psst, you still interested in betaing the Gibbs/McGee drunk fic?

Yes much more Tim fic now which is great and greater acceptance of differnet pairings and AI and cross overs. My complaints are from a while back.
