UPDATES

Jan. 2, 2012 - I'm really neglecting my writing. Sorry about that. I'm working on it, I promise. Anyway, some sites you can check out if you want more of me: Shrodinger's Blog, which is a group blog with several friends, and OH GOD WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?, my personal blog. Shrodinger's is updated more frequently. I am also in the process, right now, in uploading a fic I wrote as a gift over at the Genesis Awards for the Secret Santa, a murder mystery entitled The Twelve Days of X-Mas. Feel free to check it out - it should be up in an hour or two.

Edit: You can download a nicely-formatted PDF e-book version of "The Twelve Days of X-Mas" here. This is thanks to the Genesis Awards' "Fanfiction E-Book Project," which I spearheaded last year and is starting to actually look interesting now that I'm not fucking it up too terribly. Feel free to submit an ebook or two!

Current projects:

Rewriting all of my old fic to take into account all of the things I've learned, and for general grammatical consistency. This is ongoing and is taking FOREVER.
* At least one, possibly two, epic-length Hermione Granger/Severus Snape fics, as well as a one-shot HG/SS and a three-chapter HG/SS that both are completed but need to be beta'd.
* Three original fics that I hope to get published, but I may put sneak peaks up here.
* A written but not beta'd oneshot for my good friend VulcanElf.
* A multi-chapter realistic homosexual pairing in the FFX world. There will be no seme or uke, but there will be realistic homosexual struggles. I don't expect this to get a lot of views, but I'm proud of it.

Well, I can't stand to be with myself
This liberation's seemingly rare
And I can't stand the taste of your mouth
This sublimation's out of my hands

Name: Tasha.

Age: 27

Birthday: 29 September

Occupation: Journalist, stage technician, videographer, photographer, advertising agent, paper delivery driver.

Quirks: I get angry pretty easily, I love role playing games, and I tend to call people I love "fucker."

I hate Mary Sues. I do not, however, mind self-inserts. There is a big difference.

I will read almost any pairing, but my ships are Yuffie/Vincent (FF7), Rikku/Auron (FFX), Yuffie/Reno (FF7), and Snape/Hermione (Harry Potter). Snape/Hermione is really my only OTP. But once again, I'll read almost anything.

You stay, cuz you think you want me
Pray, when you need advice
Hey, keep your sickness off me (I'm tryin' to get through)
Shame, you can't take this from me
Bane, on an empty mind
Hey, keep your fingers off me
Why can't I get through???

My most frequently asked question: "Where do you get your ideas?"
Answer: I have no idea where they come from, they just pop into my head randomly and I exclaim "I JUST GOT AN IDEA!" to Pen Against Sword or anyone who will listen, who usually goes "DO IT!" And then I do, and you guys read it.

My second most frequently asked question: "How could you support flames/harsh concrit/Flame Rising? UGH!"
Answer: Because I don't quite suck enough to warrant them and it doesn't effect me? XD I kid, I kid. Actually, I don't support flaming so much as I don't give a shit about them, and I feel you should feel the same way because it's just the damned internet. I think that anyone who writes should develop a thick skin as far as criticism (constructive or otherwise) goes.

My third most frequently asked question: "Will you do a pairing of _ and _ for me?"
Answer: I do not do request fics. This is because I have very little control over the creative process - and I'm serious here. When I write, things pop out and I generally have no control over it. It's all my muse, baby. Occasionally a request will spark interest in my muse, but it rarely turns out as originally outlined. I also do not do collaborations, because my muse is apparently a picky son of a bitch who doesn't like letting anyone else have control over the fic - not even me. :( While I do not do collaborations and requests, I do occasionally do gift fics. If you want to become a friend enough to warrant a gift fic, well, you'll just have to exert the effort. :)

My fourth most frequently asked question: "Who is your beta-reader? / Do you need a beta-reader?"
Answer: I currently do not have a full-time beta reader. Occasionally, Pen Against Sword, VulcanElf, or La Editor will take a glance at my stuff and tell me if I'm fucking up too badly.

My fifth most frequently asked question: "Why don't you reply to PM's or reviews?
Answer: I, unfortunately, do not have the time to respond to the myriad of reviews and PM's that I get. I would love to be able to do so, but it's an unrealistic goal in my situation. I have a husband, two stepdaughters, a very needy cat, a very needy dog, several jobs, two blogs, and a social life, as well as my writing and other artistic endeavors (which include a lot of cosplays for myself and other people, modding a Nerf gun, making AMV's/GMV's, filming and video editing, political activism, photography, and music). Occasionally I will reply to a review or a PM if it strikes a chord in me or I feel the need to clarify something, or if the person was asking a question, but I just can't do it all the time. I'm sorry. Know that I read and save every review and PM alert that I get and that they mean the world to me. I promise. As always, if you have a specific question, please feel free to PM me directly and I will do my best to answer them.

Hey - I keep on thinkin' that it's
Hey - All done and all over now
You keep on thinkin' you can save me, save me
Hey - My ship is sinkin' but it's
Hey - All good, and I can go down
You got me thinkin' that the party's all over
