Life is crazy.  The past is always present and the present is always new.  As  I write more and more personal stuff in my journal, I've decided to go friends only.  It's a change I really should have made a while ago.  I will keep my fanfiction public, however.

Since this will serve as my "friends only" sticky note, comment if you would like to be added to my friends list.

I've posted chapter two.

Title:  I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream for Murder
Chapter 2: There's not such thing as too much ice cream
Author: Tazmy
Description: After accepting a case from an unlikely source, Shawn joins a cult.

Type: humor, mystery, adventure

Link takes you to the table of contents.

Okay, I was reading through stories of mine and it got me in a contemplative mood.  These questions are a result.  I'd love to hear your answers as well!  Post on your LJ or in comments.

1.  Which of your fanfics is your absolute favorite?  Turtle and Rodney's Atlantis Adventure (SGA)  I love to go back and read it a million times  over because I was so manic when I wrote it.  (It's the second in a series of stories)

2. Which of your fanfics is your greatest disappointment?  Victory or Death.  (SGA) I took it down shortly after having finished.  Due to a miscarriage and the story dealing with children I just couldn't handle it anymore.  I finished it but only out of necessity and the ending was weak.

3. Which of your fanfics are you the most proud of or amazed by?  Between The Lines of Fear and Blame (Psych)  I was rereading this today and I was absolutely floored by chapter 5 especially.  I can't believe I wrote it and i don't think I will ever be able to write like that again.

4. Is there a fanfic you loved when you wrote it but now you can't stand it?  Weakness (SGA)  I wrote it in present tense of all things.  I was so excited while I wrote it but now I just look back and notice all the flaws.

5.  Is there a fanfic you hated when you wrote it but now you love it?  One Beer, Two Beer, Three Beer, Floor (Psych)  I wrote it in like 15 minutes and thought I was being lazy.  I go back now and I enjoy rereading it.

6.  What fandom would you most like to write for, but don't at the moment?  Stargate Atlantis.  I miss writing for this show so much.  Can anyone get my SGA muse back, please?

7.  What fandom is your favorite to currently write in?  Psych.  I don't know.  It's not my type of fandom really, but it just keeps calling to me...

8.  Which of your fanfics was the most challenging to write?  Between The Lines of Fear and Blame (Psych)  It just about killed me.  Some chapters took one week to write and others two months.  It was truly insane and difficult and made me want to cry out of frustration.

9.  Which of your fanfics was the easiest to write?  Before I Sleep  (SGA) This one just came to me right away without any effort whatsoever.

10.  Do you prefer to write long or short stories?   Both.  It's whatever my muse chooses.  She's in control, not me. :)

So I managed to finally find the courage to post the first chapter of my new story.  Feel anxious as all hell, but here is a link to anyone who may care.

Title: I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream for Murder; Chapter 1: Never Fight Sober and Never Accept Jobs From Convicts
Author: Tazmy
Fandom: Psych
Description: Shawn accepts a case from an unlikely source and ends up joining a cult.
Genre: Humor, Mystery

Notes: Follows after One Beer, Two Beer, Three Beer, Floor but no knowledge of that story is required for this one.

(As for those of you I showed drafts of a story I gave the same name, this one is ENTIRELY different.)

I haven't heard from Boys II Men, nor thought about them, in forever.  But this is just too awesome!  Spoilers for Psych episode: High Top Fade Out.

To link you, due to lack of embedding for a while, this will lead you to the Psych facebook page.  There should be a vid an entry or so down with Boys II Men in the description.

Title: All Good Stories Start the Same
Author: Tazmy
Characters: Shawn, Gus, Lassiter, O'Hara
Description: In which Shawn and Gus fail at storytelling.

This was written for the amnesty challenge on psychflashfic . I used the challenge: dark and stormy night. Challenges ask for under a 1000 words so this is about 1000 words.  While not my first Psychfic, it will be the first one I'm posting on my journal directly.

 

( The beginning... )

 

 

First, I wrote a new story.  Since many of you don't check Psychfic but still like to look out for my work, I am posting a link again:

Title:  Details and Demons
Author: Tazmy
Fandom: Psych
Characters: Mostly Shawn, some Gus
Description: Five times Shawn didn't go to confession and the one time he did

Second,  strange as it may sound, I think Psych may have helped me with my  whole faith issue.

( Bum Bum Bum....Hooooo-leeee Ghoooost (spoilers for The Devil is in the Details...and the upstairs bedroom) )

So strangely enough, I'm feeling a lot better.  I still want to talk to someone and to think a lot, but in the end, I am Catholic.

That's right.  10/10.  I'm done!  I finally finished my story.  It only took me FOREVER!  LOL.  To be honest, I'm sorta really proud of myself for seeing this through.  *faints*

Fandom: Psych
Characters: Everyone
Warnings: Sensitive Issue (child death)
Word Count: ~40,000

Table of Contents

So last night a ton of people came over to out house for our monthly game night.  We decided to play a game called Domain, only the one person reading the directions forgot a key piece...money.  The game was horribly unbalanced if not a hilarious farce.  Imagine, if you will, Monopoly without paying to buy a property.  Socialized Monopoly, perhaps?  Just think about that for a moment...

You can imagine that this revelation was quickly followed by tons of outright cheating and craziness.  At one point I grabbed the pile of cards we were supposed to draw blindly from and just grabbed whatever I felt like.

I decided I needed to write crack!fic involving Monopoly.  Alas, my muse did not cooperate. Instead it gave me light hurt comfort.  Hmmmph.  At least the h/c was mild.

Title: While We Were Waiting
Fandom: Psych
Characters: Shawn, Gus, Lassie
Description: Soon they would be able to visit Juliet and see for themselves that  she was okay.  Until then, there was always Monopoly.



I still can't believe I FAIL at writing crack.  *shakes head sadly*

I had to distract myself from my current story, so I wrote one for the Siege III tag challenge at sheps_atlantis. It's not beta'd or anything, just something to distract myself.

Link to the SGA fanfic: A Soldier's Dream

We went to the store the other day and bought some lime flavored pickles. It was the first time I had heard of such a combination and I had a deep desire to try them. The jar was completely finished after two sittings! I need more! Who knew lime and pickles would go together so well?

So, Iamrighthere tried to help me write a story a while back, but in the end I put it on the back burner. It decided to resurface last night in a very different form than originally imagined, but with the theme I wanted. Friendshipper already managed to beta it, so now I present the short vignette to you. I couldn't think of a good title and it's early in the morning, so this is what you get.
