ABOUT ME:

I am a 22 year old girl from Utah. I like long walks on the beach and... jk. It is is actually a sad fact that I have never been to a real beach. I'll go someday, though. I have your standard traditional family: dad, mom, married older sister, and three younger brothers.

I am a rather quiet person in general, but kind of crazy when you get to know me/when you see me with the right people. My Jr. High band teacher once compared me to the evil rabbit from Monty Python because at first he thought I was so nice and quiet, but then in a different seating arrangement I made good friends with my stand-partner and we were goofy and loud and crazy as all get-out.

I stay up all hours (late at night is when I get my best writing in), I name my shoes (my newest pair, purple plaid hightops, are Prince and Princess Purple, but some of them just have normal names like Leo and Wanda Starr, Bob and Lily White, Rhett and Scarlett Green), I love to sing (just not in front of other people), I love to read (in fact I used to get in trouble for excessive reading when in school), I have a terrible dread of public speaking (Like, as in, projectile vomit. Ok, ok, so maybe not quite that bad.), and one of my goals in life is to make a fantastic youtube clip video of one of my favorite shows set to music.

NCIS:

I watched NCIS for the first time in August of 09 (gotta love those USA reruns) and was hooked. I am now totally obsessed. Tony is my favorite so most of my stories will feature him prominently. Well, when I say Tony is my favorite, he definitely is, but Abby is my other favorite. I love, love, love Tony/Abby friendship, but I am a TIVA shipper to the end. Well, when I say TIVA shipper, I mean, I think they are good together and right for each other, but I think if they got together now it could hurt the show, so I'm perfectly fine imagining them having an occasional offscreen romantic encounter, as long as they can end up together once the show ends. I also love Tony/Gibbs father/son and Tony/Tim friendship (they're so cute when they're not trying to kill each other). I guess what I basically like is reading/writing how the other characters relate to my Tony. And Tony-whump, of course. Why do we always hurt the ones we love?... ;)

Psych:

The first episode of Psych I ever saw was Shawn Takes a Shot in the Dark. Needless to say, it totally fed my H/C addiction, and the fact that James Roday is pretty smokin' hot didn't hurt. I had to see more, so I found the pilot on youtube, watched a couple of marathons, and finally bought the DVDs. Shawn and Gus are the perfect comedic tag-team, and every episode of this show makes me laugh out loud, no matter how many times I see it, so obviously I am now in love. Shawn-whump is my favorite, but it wouldn't be a Psych fic if there was no humor involved, so I absolutely look for that in a story and definitely include it in my own. I'm very partial to Shules (cried bitter-sweet tears at the end of One, Maybe Two, Ways Out), but I also go for the angst, so I don't know that I would ever write a happy, fluffy romance including those two. It's just one of those things, I guess.

MY STORIES:

Complete:

No Place Like NCIS For the Holidays- A fluffy one-shot Ziva-centric holiday fic with a very slight bit of Tiva. This was my first completed story, and going back and reading it now I find parts of it a teeny bit embarrassing. Someday I may go back through and fix it so it reads a little smoother, but for now, it is what it is.

How To Relate- Team/family/drama/casefic/mystery with plenty of hurt!Tony and humor to keep it going. It's quite long, much longer than I had originally intended, but I am finally finished! And I am currently planning out a sequel, which should be along in a few months.

WIP(s):

NCIS: Shattered- Post Aliyah into Truth or Consequences angsty multi-chapter. Tony-centric. Implied semi-unrequited Tiva. On temporary hiatus, but this story will be finished, hopefully in the next month or two.

NCIS: Lost- Something terrible has happened. Will Tony and Ziva be able to get through this tragedy or will it tear them apart? Angst/Hurt/Comfort/Tragedy and Tiva. First of a planned 3 story arc.

Psych: The Complete Psychic's Guide to Survival - Shawn is in a dangerous situation, again? Shameless whumping of our favorite psychic within.

WHY FANFICTION:

I've lurked around and read fanfiction for years, but only just begun posting my own and I have a dozen or so ideas that I've started working on.

Besides NCIS, I'm also a fan of a lot of other shows. I just pretty much love TV and cannot fathom what people did before it was invented. :P

My stories tend to read more like a TV show rather than an in-depth novel (or so I've been told), which is good, because I intend to be involved in film/television writing when (if?) I grow up.

I don't read slash, I don't write slash. It's just not my thing.

My introduction to fanfiction was something like this:

background goes wavy into flashback sequence

Me: Hi, my name is Tiffany.

Support Group: speaks as one Hi, Tiffany.

Me: I'm, well, I'm... Gosh, this is harder to say than I thought. I am an NCIS addict. Whew. wipes brow Glad I got that off my chest!

Support Group: is confused Um, Tiffany?

Me: Yes?

Support Group: Is that why you're here?

Me: Um... looks around yeah. Why?

Support Group: Well, it's just that there's nothing wrong being addicted to NCIS.

Me: There's not? Really?

Support Group: Really.

Me: Is there anything wrong with being addicted to Smallville?

Support Group: No.

Me: What about Psych?

Support Group: No.

Me: Bones?

Support Group: No.

Me: Gilmore Girls?

Support Group: No.

Me: House?

Support Group: No.

10 minutes later

Me: M.A.S.H.?

Support Group:No

Me: Heroes?

Support Group: No.

Me: 21 Jump Street?

Support Group: No.

Me: The O.C.?

Support Group: No.

Me: Scrubs?

Support Group: No! Please stop right there. You may actually have a problem. But not one we can help you with here.

Me: You can't? Bummer.

Support Group: I suggest you go to FanFiction.net. You can get your fill of stories about all your favorite shows there.

Me: Ok, I'll check it out. Thanks!

Support Group: under their breath At least you'll be annoying someone besides us.

Me: What? I didn't quite catch that.

Support Group: Uh... nothing. Have fun! fake smiles and waves

Me: is suspicious

Support Group: continues fake smiling

Me: leaves

Support Group: lets out a sigh of relief

Me: distantly I heard that!

flashback ends

So I checked it out, and was overjoyed with the much and varied content. Only one problem: I'm more addicted than before. But I guess if there's nothing wrong with it... ;D

NCIS QUOTES!

Abby: I talked to Ziva yesterday.
Tony: You don't bowl with nuns. I should have seen that one coming.
Abby: I do! Ziva made me promise not to tell.
Ducky: Why would Ziva care we knew that you bowl with nuns?

Tony [about Ziva hitting his six-pack]: Do it.
McGee: As hard as she can?
Tony: As hard as you can.
McGee: You know that's how Houdini died.
Tony: Ziva, did you kill Houdini?
Ziva: It is possible. I do not remember all of their names.

McGee: All right, then we'll flip for it.
Ziva: If I flip you, you will get hurt.
Tony [Whispers to McGee]: You can take her Probie. Do it.

Tony: I'm fine, Ziva.
Ziva: All right, but I thought maybe you needed a little cheering up?
Tony: If I needed to be cheered up, I would've put superglue on McGee's keyboard.
McGee [angrily, to Tony]: You put superglue on my keyboard.

Ziva: You can't make an omelet without breaking some legs.
Tony: You're never making me breakfast.

Tony: All right, listen up people. Our fugitive has been on the run for 90 minutes.
Ziva: It has been three hours, Tony.
Tony: Average foot speed over uneven ground, barring injuries, is four miles per hour.
Ziva: He is not on foot. He is in a car.
Tony: What I need from each and every one of you is a hard target search of every gas station, residence, warehouse, farm house, outhouse, hen house, and dog house in the area. Our fugitive has a name and it is...
Gibbs: Corporal Damon Werth.
McGee: The Tommy Lee Jones speech every time we have a fugitive, really?

Tony [as an anchorman]: In a tragic tale of obsessive hobbying turned deadly, an NCIS agent was found in his basement, crushed between a large homemade boat and an even larger bottle of bourbon. Film at 11.

Tony [answering the phone: Very Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo, the boy who cried wolf and must now suffer peridontal disease...

Kate: Do people react that way because we're NCIS, or do you just have that effect on them?
Gibbs: I'd like to think it's me.

Abby: What the biohazardous material is this?!

Abby: I am the Energizer bunny of forensic science: I never sleep and I never give up.

[Mike Franks is standing guard by the door with a gun as Tony enters]
Tony: Hello?
Mike: DiNozzo! You should have told me you were coming.
Tony: I called and you didn't pick up.
Mike: I'm not gonna answer the phone, I'm a fugitive!
Tony: So what do you want me to do?
Mike: Knock.
Tony: Why would I knock? There's no lock on that door.
Mike: Someone may be on the other side with a gun.
Tony: Why would somebody be standing on the other side with a gun?
Mike: Because there's no lock on the door!

Tony: McGee, say words.

Saleem Ulman: Got my B.S. from Yale University.
Tony: Yale? Got my B.S. on the streets.

Tony: Definitely didn't picture my demise like this. I always figured I'd go out like Cagney in "White Heat", fiery explosion. Or Redford and Newman in "Butch Cassidy", hail of bullets.
Gibbs: How about Charlie Chaplin in "Gold Rush"?
Tony: How'd he die?
Gibbs: Silently.

Tony: Taking tips from Trent Kort now? Why don't we just run with scissors or talk to strangers? Maybe they've got candy.

Tony [as Ziva is driving]: Just out of curiosity, who taught you to drive?
Ziva: I did!

Tony: A train track?
Abby: Yes, that would be the obvious choice. But there isn't a second "thunk" or a "thack." Not even a "thock" in that track.
Tony: You've been reading a lot of Dr. Seuss books?
Abby: You know I love me some Theodore Geisel.

[Ziva stabs a can to open it for McGee whose shoulder was dislocated]
Ziva: Straw?
McGee: No, I'm good. I've got the one arm.
Tony: Maybe it was you, McGee. The one armed man. Thought it was one of those vets we met at the Walter Reed Hospital.
McGee: Wrong case, Tony.
Tony: Do we even have a case? We already got the guy. What are we doing? What did we miss? What's happening?
[Ziva looks confusedly at McGee]
McGee: They gave him pain killers.
Ziva: Oh.
Tony: My fingers are fing-ing.

Ziva: I've learned from Gibbs that in certain cases you can attract far more bees with honey.
Tony: Flies.
Ziva: What do flies have to do with honey?
Tony: Flies don't like vinegar.
Ziva: Vinegar?
Tony: It's complicated.

PSYCH QUOTES!

Shawn: Good morning detectives, collecting money for the Policeman's ball?
Lassie: We don't have balls.
Shawn: I honestly have no response to that.

Shawn: Oh, you mean my pilot's license? That's out back in the Cessna. Or perhaps you're referring to my license to kill. Revoked. Trouble at the Kazakhstan border. I could give you the details but then I'd have to kill you, which I can't do because my license to kill has been revoked.

Lassie: I thought I told you no.
Shawn: But your eyes said yes.

Lassie: Hey, we found prints.
Shawn: Was he in a little red corvette?
Gus: Under the cherry moon?
Lassie: FINGER prints!

Shawn: I've heard it both ways.

Gus: Brazilian airport codes. How do you know that?
Shawn: I lived in an airport for a month, Gus.
Gus: That was Tom Hanks in The Terminal.
Shawn: Same difference.

Shawn: Gus, don't be exactly half of an 11 pound black forest ham.

Gus: So now I have a cat?
Shawn: An orange tabby. Last Christmas you made her a tiny Santa hat and she adores it.
Gus: Fantastic. I can't even have a make-believe boy cat.
Shawn: Gus, a boy cat would never serve my purposes nearly as well. Next time I need you, Pickles is having kittens.
Gus: Pickles?
Shawn: Mrs. Pickles is her full name. Although, I'm not actually sure cats can marry outside of Boston.

Lassie: You wanted to see me, Chief?
Chief Vick: Yes. It has come to my attention, Detective, that you've discharged your weapons in the last four cases you've worked.
Lassie: Thank you.
Chief Vick: That wasn't a compliment.
Lassie: I'm just trying to keep the streets safe.
Chief Vick: The last incident was at a cat show.
Lassie: Well, let me just go on record as saying that I would never shoot a cat.
Chief Vick: I guess I can find some solace in that.
Lassie: Unless it was approaching in a threatening manner, or refused to stop upon my command. I would probably just fire a warning shot to make my point, but it's actually a field decision I can't commit to at this juncture.

Gus: Shawn? What the heck are you doing here?
Shawn: I should ask you the same question.
Gus: I work here!
Shawn: I should ask you a different question.

Chief Vick: It goes without saying, Mr. Spencer, that your father is in no way to participate in this investigation. He's no longer on the force, and his meddling could compromise the case in court. Do I make myself clear?
Shawn: Yes, you do, Chief. What isn't clear is why people always say "goes without saying," yet still feel compelled to say the thing that was supposed to go without saying. Doesn't that bother you?
Chief Vick: No, and frankly, I could care less.
Gus: Now, that's the one that bothers me. Why do people say, 'I could care less' when they really mean, 'I couldn't care less?'
Chief Vick: Well, why don't you tell me how to properly say this? If you share any official information about this case with your father, or let him anywhere near any new evidence, then the two of you will have to find another police department to work for, and I will personally see to it that each of you is charged with obstruction of justice.
Gus: You split an infinitive.
Shawn: Good catch, Gus!
Chief Vick: You two realize I carry a gun, right?
Gus: That was perfectly elocuted.

Jules: Detective Lassiter is literally on fire today.
Shawn: "Literally on fire" as in Michael Jackson in the Pepsi commercial, or as in a misuse of the word "literally?"

Shawn: I can't believe this. You lifted your look right off this mannequin!
Gus: On the contrary, Shawn. Clearly, someone is stealing my look.
Shawn: Right... I did see Tommy Hilfiger creeping from bush to bush sketching you.

Lassie: Now I need to know your process.
Shawn: Do you really want to know my process?
Lassie: Absolutely.
Shawn: Well, it starts with a holla! and ends with a Creamsicle.
Gus: And if there's time in between? ThunderCats. Ho-oh!

Gus: What part of "stay put" is confusing to you?
Shawn: The "put" part. I wasn't "put" in the first place, Gus. The whole expression is a complete disaster.

Shawn: Dad, what are you doing here?
Henry: Nice. Is that the way you greet all the people who come through your door?
Shawn: That's exactly how I greet everyone. Maybe that's why business is down.
