I really want to complete my stories. It helps to keep track of them, so they're not forgotten. I know probably nobody else cares, but it helps me.

My WIP writer's statement:
My name is Jacie, and I have 1 WIP. And 10 bunnies. I was able to finish up ONE of the bunnies at the end of 2025.

Stories completed in 2025: 33
Special note - this is tied with the most NCIS fics I've written in a single year! I tried hard to come up with something else, but Muse was exhausted at the end of the year, with 30 of the new stories written in December alone, over 70K words!
Total words written in 2025: 148,091

Just to make my life easier, I'm pulling the info from a different post.
Below is a list of my 33 new stories completed in 2025. They are ranked out of 175 NCIS stories I've written.

Current WIPs:

2026:

Castle Bunny
This is for the 2026 NCIS Reverse Bang. I chose a banner created by Rose_Malmaison. In truth, I didn't have any strong bunnies for any of the banners, so I chose 5 (out of 7) that I was willing to work with. I let the other people choose first, and 3 of the 5 I was willing to work with were claimed. I still had 2 banners to choose from. I chose the castle banner for a couple of reasons, but I still think I could have written a story for any of those 5.
STARTED: 1000 words
This will be Gibbs/Tony. I'm still sorting it out. Since this one is for a challenge, I'm probably not going to give much info on it.


List of unstarted Bunnies:
1) OCT 2019 - Fictional Characters bunny
2) FEB 2020 - Training bunny
3) APR 2020 - Sr Conman bunny
4) AUG 2020 - Kidnapped bunny
5) JAN 2023 - Purchase bunny
6) SEPT 2023 - Sequel to WWC (Why am I considering a sequel to the least popular BB story???)
7) NOV 2024 - Ghosts bunny 5 (w/VJ & Betty)
8) NOV 2024 - Ghosts bunny 6 (w/SR)
9) FEB 2025 - Tony/Gibbs relationship grows stronger - Sequel to The Impossible Marine
10) AUG 2025 - Piano in the park (Tony meets Sonny) Side story to The Impossible Marine

These are little bunnies that may have a paragraph or two of notes, but I haven't started writing yet. They might get written one day, or they may never get written. I suspect I'll drop them after a certain amount of time, maybe 5 years on the list, or if I simply lose all interest, or forget where I was headed with it.

02/10/2025 The Impossible Marine on AO3 - written for the 2025 NCIS Reverse Bang Challenge
[SLASH] Tony/Gibbs
I chose Red_Pink_Dot's banner as it immediately sparked a story. I don't think I ever would have written a story featuring Tony as a physical therapist if it hadn't been for her banner.
Summary:
When Agent Gibbs is injured on duty, he is rushed to Bethesda Hospital for emergency surgery. He is assigned a physical therapist named Tony DiNozzo. At first, Tony has his hands full caring for the crusty NCIS agent, and his patience is pushed to the brink. But eventually, things begin to change.

WC 1500. Last updated 05/23/2025
I'm aiming to have this one ready for the 2025 NCIS Big Bang... but you never know. I have an idea, but not sure if it'll get done in time. Muse and I are having a disagreement over what direction to take. He wants Tony to be kidnapped, but I feel we've done enough kidnapped!Tony stories for a while, and would like to try something else.

12/17/2024 Holiday Expressions on AO3 - written for the 2024 Happy Holidays Challenge
[GEN] Tony & Ellie Friendship
This was written for the NCIS Happy Holiday's Challenge Day 17/18 - Trimming The Tree/Ornaments. I got this idea one morning, and did the edit and posting the following day. This felt a bit like Conversations 2.0. I enjoy the big brother aspect of their friendship.
Summary:
Ellie has just moved into a new apartment after leaving Jake and is pondering what her new life without him will be like. Tony stops by to assure her the team considers her family and will stand by her.

12/20/2024 The Lady by the Fountain on AO3 - written for the 2024 Happy Holidays Challenge
[SLASH] Tony/Gibbs - also crossover with Ghosts
This story was written for the 2024 Happy Holidays Challenge, Day 19/20 - Family/Unexpected Guests. I actually started this one before "Holiday Expressions", but didn't get it finished. My original thought was to gear it more toward the Holiday Music/Movie theme, but it wasn't done in time, so I shifted it to Family. In this series, Tony can see and hear ghosts. He's already met up with Kate and Ari. There are others I have thought about writing, and one was his mother. I'm glad at least a couple of people are enjoying this series. They're all one-offs, but are meant to be a series.
Summary:
Tony and Gibbs visit Woodstone Manor again around the holidays. Sam encourages Tony to return to the hospital where his mother died to see if she's still around.

12/21/2024 The Giving Heart on AO3 - written for the 2024 Happy Holidays Challenge
[GEN] Kate-era Team
This was written for the NCIS Happy Holidays Challenge Day 21/22 - Santa/Santa hat/Elf. I got the idea this morning as I was feeding the kitties, wrote it, edited it and posted it all in one day. I also gifted it to someone who often comments on my work. I'm not sure if she's seen it yet. It seems to be going over well with other people. I always enjoyed the sibling rivalry aspect of the Kate and Tony relationship. Kate comes off a little bitchy in this one, but she still really cares about Tony deep down.
Summary:
Kate is pissed that Tony uses his seniority to get Christmas off, when he tells them he's going to a casino. She meets up with Abby, Tim, and Jimmy on Christmas Eve to enjoy time with fellow co-workers. They stumble over an act of kindness that leaves them thinking differently about Tony.

12/25/2024 California For Christmas on AO3 - written for the 2024 Happy Holidays Challenge
[SLASH] Tony/Gibbs
This was written for the NCIS Happy Holidays Challenge Day 23/24 - Holiday Vacation. I thought it would be nice to send them off on a beach vacation.
Summary:
Gibbs had already planned to take Tony on a quick trip to California for Christmas as a gift. When cases are light and Vance gives them additional time off, Gibbs manages to expand the trip for a few extra days.

12/26/2024 Who’s Your Guest? on AO3 - written for the 2024 Happy Holidays Challenge
[SLASH] Tony/Gibbs
This story was written for Cutsycat, as a Stocking Stuffer for the NCIS Happy Holidays Challenge. Cutsycat has been the most consistent writer for the Happy Holidays Challenge so I like to gift her a story as a thank you. And since she likes cats and I love writing about cats, it gives me an excuse to write a cat story.
Summary:
Gibbs arrives at Tony’s apartment unannounced and finds the table is already set with a dinner for two. Who is Tony’s mysterious guest? Tony insists it isn’t what Gibbs may be thinking.

12/27/2024 Mad Catter’s Tea Room on AO3
[Gen] Tony & Tim Friendship
This is the story formerly known as "Mystery Bunny 1". I actually started this story last October, intended as a thank you to Cutsycat for last year's HHC. Unfortunately, I didn't get it finished until today (12/27/2024). I did gift her a different story last year, which also had cats. I'm sure this turned out differently than it would have if I'd finished it last year, but it is what it is.
Summary:
Tim is dealing with the recent death of his father. This brings back Tony’s memories of losing his mother. He decides he wants to do something to help Tim through the loss by spending time with him over the Christmas holiday.

My WIP writer's statement:

In 2024 I have completed 1 story (so far).

And wow! I finished writing my one 2024 story (so far) in July, posted it in October, but didn't remember to do a writing stats post? Well, I've been super busy clearing out my parents' house with an estate sale and donations to charity, plus large furniture (2 beds and 3 sofas) to the recycle/scrap/dump. I still have a lot of work to do and am traveling for the holidays, so I'm not sure if another story will happen this year. It's actually been a pretty quiet year in fandom.

1) Betrayal (Big Bang 2024)

Completed:

Betrayal (Completed: 23 July 2024 )
Formerly known as Mystery Bunny 2
WC 25,027
I'm so glad I finished this in time for the Big Bang. Especially since it was the only draft submitted on time. Another one was a day late. It was sad to see the claims with only two summaries. At least they were both claimed and both had amazing artwork created for them!
This is a crossover with Criminal Minds and SEAL Team.
I dedicated this one to DHM_01 as she went from NCIS to SEAL Team. It was only because of her that I started watching the series. I enjoy it, love the characters. The time frame doesn't work well with NCIS, but they give enough background that I could make it work. The SEAL Team part is pre-series, but I followed their canon from a flashback episode.
Summary: Tony had a bad feeling about Ziva from the day they met. But he had no idea how deeply her betrayal would run or the danger it would put him in.

The Christmas Cat Complication - (Completed 11/05/2023)
I drew Cutsycat. Which always feels like a doable assignment for me. She likes cats. I like cats. I can write a story with cats and we'll both be happy. So in this, Tony invites Tim over for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day as neither has plans with family. Tony happens to find an orphaned kitten and decides to adopt him. And he also invites a couple other friends to drop by as well.

2023 Happy Holidays Challenge
This is an advent challenge with 24 themes posted over 24 days. I've done 1-3 themes before, but this is the first time I've done all 24. I've been really wanting to write something in memory of Ducky. So these 24 ficlets are loosely woven into a story for a series that I call, Memories of Ducky. All together, they're about 24K. Individually, they range from 500-2700 words. The stories listed above as 10-33 are for this series. All of these stores can be read as GEN although some have implied slash.

Notes:
(Warning for CRABBINESS!) I'm very disappointed that my Big Bang stories didn't go over any better. Out of 11 BB challenge stories this year, the three least popular are all mine. WTH? I honestly thought Death Runs in the Family would be the least popular Big Bang story this year. It's the second to the bottom. However, I expected my other two to do better. Never Let Go is the best of the three IMHO, it's currently the third least popular Big Bang story this year. It would need at least 25 (or more) kudos to move up at all. It's done the best of my stories, but other stories in the challenge have 2, 3 or 4 times more kudos. The first BB I wrote, When Worlds Collide, is the least popular by quite a bit. And it has 10 Tonys. Everyone loves Tony, right? So why don't they like 10 Tonys? I don't get it. This poor story may not do well enough to even get into my top 100 by the end of the year. And while I hate to complain at all, it hurts when you've spent over 100 hours of your life working on writing a story that you are proud of, then have it bomb like this. Just because I still watch and like the show, are people not reading my stories because they assume I always write later seasons? I tend to write any season at all. But yeah, it's depressing. It makes me rethink why I bother spending so much time writing fanfic. Okay, done crabbing for now. But maybe I need to rethink writing fandom...

I started it right away about a week ago when assignments came out and just finished it up a few minutes ago. No hints though, as it's supposed to be a secret until after Christmas. Shhh. I think I'm done. I'm done enough, but I could always add another chapter or two if I felt like it.

Completed:

Multiverse bunny - Big Bang 1
Updated WC 18,225 - (Completed 06/07/2023)
In looking through my old bunnies, this one from 2020 was the only one that really piqued Muse's interest (I call him Tio, BTW). It's a Sci-fi style story, clearly not based in reality. So basically, several Tonys from other universes start showing up in this universe, and the team has to figure out how to deal with them, and how to send them back.

Heir bunny - Big Bang 2
Updated WC 20,800 - (Completed 06/12/2023)
I'm not surprised that a bunny from the current year grabbed my attention. Case Fic, I'm calling it a slash story, but it's not that slashy. Mostly Tony & Gibbs with a bit of Ducky tossed in. Abby, Jimmy, Tim and Ziva are all mentioned.

Missing Tony bunny - Big Bang 3
WC 41,225 - (Completed 07/24/2023)
I did keep a piece of artwork I created for the 2022 RB. But I liked it enough to keep it. I have a deal with Muse. He can keep ONE and only ONE artwork I create for the RB, AND only if he has a solid bunny for it. He kept the artwork I used for Melancholy Man, which was originally created for the 2021 RB, and he kept this one from RB 2022. He did not grab one from this year. Oh, he thought about the kitty one, but didn't have an idea for it, so we let it go.
So this one, Tony disappears. I know. It sounds a lot like Broken. Starts out the same, too. He's going on vacation with his frat brothers. This one winds up a bit different in how and why he's lost and how he comes to be rescued. This is my personal favorite of my Big Bang stories of the year.


Current WIPs:


NONE!!!

WOW! I'm not sure I've ever had 0 WIPs when I posted an update. Quite a feat!


List of unstarted Bunnies:
There are still 5 on the list. Although, that's progress from the 9 that were on there earlier this year.
1) OCT 2019 - Fictional Characters bunny
2) FEB 2020 - Training bunny
3) APR 2020 - Sr Conman bunny
4) AUG 2020 - Kidnapped bunny
5) Jan 2023 - Purchase bunny

These are little bunnies that may have a paragraph or two of notes, but I haven't started writing yet. They might get written one day, or they may never get written. I suspect I'll drop them after a certain amount of time, maybe 5 years on the list, or if I simply lose all interest, or forget where I was headed with it.

I really want to complete my stories. It helps to keep track of them, so they're not forgotten.

My WIP writer's statement:
My name is Jacie, and I have 1 WIPs. And 5 bunnies.
In 2023 I have completed 7 stories (so far).

Notes:
I'm currently focusing on Big Bang stories. I've finished one and have a good start on another. I suppose, if I end up with more than three stories that qualify for the Big Bang Challenge, I'll see if my beta can go through them and help me pick the best ones. Muse seems to have perked up as of late.

So basically, several Tonys from other universes start showing up in this universe, and the team has to figure out how to deal with them, and how to send them back. I've not really figured it all out, but I think I have a decent start. This is my first story completed for the 2023 NCIS BB challenge. This one is so far out there, that I really feel I want to write another story, too. Something more of a reality-based story. We shall see.

Anyway, I may submit this as a BB although, I'm using my own artwork. This means, I really want to have a summary to submit.
So this one, Tony disappears. I know. It sounds a lot like Broken. Starts out the same, too. He's going on vacation with his frat brothers. Will have to make this different somehow. Well, it doesn't take place in New Orleans, so that group will not be involved. And no plans at the moment to bring in the BAU. So... just started it. Will need to flesh it out a bit.

My WIP writer's statement:
My name is Jacie, and I have 2 WIP. And way too many bunnies.

Notes:
I started and finished two additional stories for my NCIS/Ghosts crossover. Last year, I wrote Two Roads for the 2022 NCIS Big Bang. It was my 100th NCIS fanfic, and IMHO, it's one of my 10 best NCIS stories. However, it is pretty much written in current time, and even into the future. The people who read it liked it, but I don't think many gave it a chance.

To make Ghosts (US TV work), stories have to be written 2021 or later as that's when the series began. They didn't officially open to host guests until S2. Since it was in the same timeframe, I opted to write a NCIS/Ghosts crossover as my Happy Holidays Challenge last year and link it to Two Roads. Really, the only thing that truly ties my crossover stories to Two Roads is the timeline. A person can read the later stories without reading Two Roads and reading the crossovers won't spoil much for Two Roads other than that it ends up as Gibbs/DiNozzo. But look who the writer is. I almost always write Gibbs/DiNozzo! Anyway, I've added two new entries to this crossover series. Both are short and written over 1-3 days.

How Kate Got Off Sucked Off (The Rooftop) (Part 3 of my NCIS/Ghosts crossover series)
WC 5,350 (finished 05/24/2023)
I don't know why the idea suddenly hit me, but I got the idea that if Tony can now see and communicate with ghosts, he'd certainly see if he could track down Kate and hopefully help her ascend.
Summary:
After meeting the ghosts at Woodstone Manor, and finding the ghost of Mike Franks living at Gibbs' house, Tony decides to return to the rooftop where Kate was shot and does indeed find her ghost there. After another visit to Woodstone Manor to talk to Samantha, Tony tries to help Kate get 'sucked off' (ascend) from the rooftop.

The Day Ari Went Down (To Hell) (Part 4 of my NCIS/Ghosts crossover series)
WC 2,900 (finished 05/28/2023)
One of the readers left a lovely comment on my Ghost!Kate story and suggested that I write a story about Ari (In the Kate story, it is revealed that Ghost!Ari is on Gibbs' property).
Summary:
After assisting Kate to ascend, Tony decides to confront Ari Haswari's ghost.

My WIP writer's statement:
My name is Jacie, and I have 1 WIP. And way too many bunnies.

Notes:

I have signed up for this year's NCIS Big Bang, which is the 10th-anniversary version. However, I will be extremely busy this summer and have no clue of what to write at this point. I am working on one I already have artwork for, but I really want to submit a summary for the claims. At the moment, we have two artists signed up for six authors. Hopefully, we'll get a few more people signed up.

Completed:

Escorting Abby is scheduled to post on 05/21/2023 as part of the 2023 Reverse Bang Challenge.
Casting Lines and The Pup Tent are both good stories for Father's Day. I intend to post them after the RB is done, but before Father's Day.
It's not often I have three completed stories waiting to be posted!

Escorting Abby (RB bunny)
WC 10,075 (finished 04/16/2023)
We had two authors who had to drop their stories for this year's NCIS Reverse Bang. Both were claimed by backup authors, one of whom was me. I wrote this story in about a week, maybe 4-5 writing days. It will be posted in May as part of the 2023 NCIS Reverse Bang Challenge.
Summary:
Tony is assigned to escort Abby to a court appearance, but things soon go terribly wrong.

Casting Lines (Fish Tales bunny)
WC 8,800 (finished 05/13/2023)
So this one, I was concerned we may have more artists than summaries (2022 NCIS Big Bang). I wanted something to offer if that were the case and all artists wanted to participate (like last year, when I offered up Temping Poses). I wasn't happy with where this one was. Also, I knew it was headed in the 5000 Micro-Bang level, and all the other stories are over 20K this year. I really had no interest in submitting a crappy 5K story in that field. My plan was to wrap it up in time to post for Father's Day in June. I made it, YAY!
Summary:
Gibbs and Tony invite their dads to go fishing over Father’s Day weekend and decide to share the news that they are a couple.

The Pup Tent (Parenting bunny)
WC 3,950 (finished 05/16/2023)
While I didn't have any really strong feelings for the 2023 NCIS Reverse Bang Challenge, I did feel I could write a story for most pieces. I did decide to stand back and let other people make their choices first. I looked over the pieces left and decided I would pick up this very nice Tim & Jimmy camping piece. I loved the artwork, but Tim and Jimmy are background characters for me. I don't tend to focus stories on them. But I was all set to claim the piece. But then I heard someone else wanted to claim it as their second story. I let them claim it. I knew they'd do a better job remaining true to the artwork and what the artist would like to see. I was pretty confident I would manage to twist it into a Gibbs/DiNozzo story despite them not being featured in the artwork. So yes, a lovely story was written for the piece, with Tim and Jimmy bonding over camping with their kids. However, since I had a bunny hopping around my head, I decided to write it anyway. And this is it!
Summary:
Jim and Tim bond over being fathers and Tony feels left out. Eventually, he claims to be watching “Charlie” for his recently divorced neighbor (Calli) in the afternoons until she is home from work. Unsure if Tony is actually being truthful, they invite him to bring “Charlie” on a camping trip along with Tim’s twins, and Jimmy’s daughter.

In May, I re-read what I had and added a bit. I need to figure out where it's going. The plan was always to post it for Father's Day, so hoping to get it done by then.
So this one, I was concerned we may have more artists than summaries (2022 NCIS Big Bang). I wanted something to offer if that were the case and all artists wanted to participate (like last year, when I offered up Temping Poses). This is not good.

Notes:

My SeSa story was posted, to underwhelming results. I think it only had 2 likes the first day. I know it's not my best story, but I'm disappointed it did so poorly. So yeah, that was Tango & Spears (I thought the title was cute!), and wrapped up at 12,550 WC.

Completed:

I have completed one story since my last post.

Holiday Spirits (formerly Holiday Vacation bunny)
WC 6430 (finished 12/23/2022)
I really enjoy the series called Ghosts, the US version. So I thought, what if Gibbs takes Tony to Woodstone Manor for a holiday vacation? This was written for the HHC Happy Holidays Challenge. I think it would have fit Dec 9 Holiday Vacation better, but it wasn't done. It was posted Dec 23 Blizzard/Snow. Also, since the timing fit, I made it a sequel to Two Roads. As it's just the time frame that fits, there is no need to read Two Roads first, although it has apparently encouraged more people to read Two Roads, which is a good thing in my book. I thought Two Roads was one of my better stories, but it didn't get read much, I suspect because it's based in the S19/S20 time frame.

My WIP writer's statement:
My name is Jacie, and I have 2 WIPs.

Notes:

I started AND finished my SeSa. It's been sent to the beta. I can't say the WC until the reveal because it would make it too obvious which one I wrote. Not that anyone ever reads this! LOL

Completed:

I have completed one story since my last post, it's my 2022 NCIS SeSa story.

For SESA
I'm not saying the title or WC because this is Secret Santa, and it hasn't yet been posted, let alone revealed.
WC ??? (completed 11/18/2022)
I can't really say anything about this one other than it's done and off to the beta. I really hope my recipient likes it. I wanted to finish it before Thanksgiving, and I did, although I've added a bit to it here and there.
Summary:
It's a secret until the reveal!

My thought is to have it ready for the HHC. I think it would have fit Dec 9 Holiday Vacation better, but it wasn't done. So, it's either Dec 23 Blizzard/Snow (anything related to snow), or if there is an amnesty day after Christmas... or I could just post it on its own.

1) OCT 2019 - Fictional Characters bunny
2) FEB 2020 - Training bunny
3) APR 2020 - Sr Conman bunny
4) AUG 2020 - Kidnapped bunny
5) OCT 2020 – Multiverse bunny

These are little bunnies that may have a paragraph or two of notes, but I haven't started writing yet. They might get written one day, or they may never get written. I suspect I'll drop them after a certain amount of time, maybe 5 years on the list, or if I simply lose all interest, or forget where I was headed with it.

Playing CATCH UP! As I realize I've not been posting anything HERE. I've only been posting at LJ...
So, I apologize there are going to be several posts going up here today.

Wow! I haven't posted stats since December 2021? Ten months? Of course, I haven't really been writing much either.

I really want to complete my stories. It helps to keep track of them, so they're not forgotten.

My WIP writer's statement:
My name is Jacie, and I have 2 WIPs.

Notes:

So 2 WIPs, plus I've signed up for SeSa, and I also have a piece of artwork I created last year that I decided to KEEP instead of using for the RB. I haven't even started writing THAT story yet. And my kind of thing, I was going to use it for the Big Bang, however, I really want to always submit a summary to the claims. That's the thing about the challenge. I want to encourage participation and artists do get discouraged when authors do their own artwork. Although, if someone is running late for the claims, I'm not going to say they CAN'T do their own art. We have so few stories in the challenge that one more story is a good thing.

Completed:

I have completed one story since my last post, it's my 2022 NCIS Big Bang story.

Two Roads
(Formerly ***** bunny - I'm not saying the bunny name as it's a huge spoiler for the story...LOL. Not that anyone actually reads these notes.)
WC 60,700 (completed 12/10/2022)
I worked really hard on this one. I think it has a unique twist. And some readers have agreed! I was concerned that since it's set in later seasons (especially the end of S18 and early S19), that people wouldn't read it. I'm a bit disappointed by the low number of kudos. I think this is one of my 10 best NCIS fics, but it seems destined to be in the bottom 10 of the year by kudos. *le sigh*. I'm not complaining (because it is what it is), but it does make me sad. It is my 100th NCIS fanfic!
Summary:
Tony left NCIS and is now employed by the FBI, assigned to a team that works missing persons cases in California. He can’t believe it when Tim calls from DC to tell him that Gibbs’ boat blew up on a lake, and Gibbs is now missing. Tony travels to DC to assist in the search, but no trace of Gibbs is found. Returning back to his job in LA, Tony is still devastated by the loss. One night, he meets an attractive young man on a beach and they begin a relationship. However, more surprises come down the road to shake up Tony’s world, including Gibbs’ journals that Tim finds and sends to Tony to read. Through the journals, Tony learns that Gibbs secretly harbored romantic feelings toward him for many years, which leads to Tony re-evaluating how he truly feels about Gibbs. It also leaves him more determined than ever to find out what happened to his former boss.


Current WIPs:

Started 2022:

Fish Tales bunny
WC 4875 (last updated 08/11/2022)
So this one, I was concerned we may have more artists than summaries. I wanted something to offer if that were the case and all artists wanted to participate (like last year, when I offered up Temping Poses). This is not good. Also, I knew it was headed in the 5000 Micro-Bang level, and all the other stories are over 20K this year. I really had no interest in submitting a crappy 5K story in that field. But I'll probably finish it one day...maybe. Basically, Tony and Gibbs take their Dads fishing to break the news about their relationship. Senior is being Senior.

Holiday Vacation bunny
WC 400 (last updated 10/??/2022)
I really enjoy the series called Ghosts, the US version. So I thought, what if Gibbs takes Tony to Woodstone Manor for a holiday vacation? Still working on it. My thought is to have it ready for the HHC. I think I could make it work for Dec 9 Holiday Vacation or Dec 23 Blizzard/Snow (anything related to snow). We shall see. Not sure it will get where I want it to be in time. I did sign up for SeSa, but assignments aren't out, plus my brothers are coming for Thanksgiving.
