NCIS

NCIS is a live-action T.V. series by Donald P. Bellisario about a fictional Naval Criminal Investigative Services Major Case Response Team based in the Washington Navy Yard in Washington, D.C. The team investigates major criminal offenses (murders, kidnappings, terrorist threats) involving the United States Navy and Marine Corps. The show is currently in its seventh season.

Characters
NCIS is driven primarily by its characters and the often-humorous dynamics between the members of the team. Thus, badfic that throws characters OOC or mucks with the team dynamics is particularly heinous, and agents should be aware of the same.

In Badfic
Strong male characters such as Gibbs and Tony tend to be woobiefied and/or set up with Mary-Sues; strong female characters are often ignored or turned into Stock Antagonistic Feminists. Intelligence has also noted a rash of spanking!fic in this fandom, in which one male character (usually Gibbs) decides that another male character (Tony or McGee) needs to be "disciplined" like a bratty child.
