gyzym

So! You have stumbled upon my journal. If you're here for the fic, congratulations! You've come to the right place. If you don't know about the fic: hello! I am gyzym, and I write fanfiction. Most of it is slash (male/male) fanfiction; if this is not your cup of tea, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, HEAD FOR THE HILLS.

All right, now that that's sorted, here's how this works: fic is divided by fandom and 'verse. Links and summaries and pairings are here; every link takes you to the top of the page in question, where you will find ratings, warnings, author's notes, etc. Please do not read anything rated R or higher if you are not of age where you live.

( Hawaii 5-0 )

( Inception )

( Sherlock Holmes )

( White Collar )

( Harry Potter )

( Veronica Mars )

On the Topic of Tags:
Yeah, um. I find it hilarious to use inane, random tags on my posts. Because, um. Because it is hilarious?

In any case, the tags that I use to streamline fic posting are (probably) all attached here.

On the Topic of Full Disclosure and Credit Where Credit is Due
Full disclosure: the username is an Allen Ginsberg reference; the journal title is from an e.e. cummings poem.

Additionally, I do not own any of the characters I play about with in my fanfiction, nor do I own most of the titles of said works--they're pulled from song lyrics, by and large. I'm not making any money from this, I have no intention of doing so, I claim no ownership of anything, and I don't mean to cause distress/offense/copyright infringement.

On the Topic of Problematic Elements in My Fiction
Should you find something, whilst reading one of my stories, that offends you/is incorrect/could offend others/is in any way problematic, please please please do not hesitate to tell me. I will never spew hate at you, I will never attack you, and I will always thank you for taking the time to let me know.

On the Topic of Non-Fic Things Discussed Herein
Sometimes I talk about my family! They're crazy, but generally in a hilarious way. Because my name, like it or not, has become Jizz/Jizzy (I really didn't mean to name myself after semen, I really didn't, I THOUGHT IT WAS AN INNOCENT ALLEN GINSBERG REFERENCE OKAY, I WAS YOUNG) a hilarious conversation ended up producing the following names for my brothers:

Burro Punch/Burro: My 19-year-old (frat boy) brother
Burrito Punch/Burrito: My 11-year-old (sixth grader) brother

Because...donkey punch...and ito is a...diminutive...anyway. THE POINT BEING, if I am referring to Burro&Burrito, they are my little brothers :D

Additionally, I have a non-fandom blog over on blogspot, called Illegible Address. It makes a concentrated effort to make it amusing; I'd love it if you guys felt like checking it out! Look, there's even an easy-click button:



On the Topic of Friending
By all means, feel free to friend me. Everything fandom related is public, and so is most everything else, though I don't post much that isn't fandom related these days. I always like meeting new people! I don't always friend back, which is NOT about you, but rather my utter inability to be responsible and proactive about replying to emails/notifications/whatever. It's a character flaw.

If you DO friend me, please do me the favor of dropping a hello into this post. I want to know what you're about! Also, I am often distracted by writing gay porn, and sometimes it takes me ages to actually pay attention to anything other than my bajillions of open Word documents. By which I mean: oh, god, you guys, I can be really terrible about answering comments, but that does not mean I am not a) reading them and b) feeling INSANE GRATITUDE towards anyone leaving them. I just, augh, I get all bogged down in writing and then it's been too long and I feel like an asshole and THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR ME, I AM SORRY.

Tl;dr summary? I'M KIND OF FLAKY SOMETIMES, BUT I DO ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOU ALL ♥

Ahahahaha oh my god, it's a WIP titles meme, totally ganked from sorrynotsorry et al. THIS SAYS A LOT ABOUT MY WRITING PROCESS: to wit, that it is a mess. These are actual titles of actual documents, and I actually know what (almost) all of them mean. Also, enough of them contain parentheses--in the RIDICULOUS DOC TITLES THAT ARE NOT ACTUALLY FIC TITLES--that I had to differentiate my comments by putting them in brackets. In conclusion, fml fml fml.

( Seriously, this is solid proof that I'm out of my mind )

TO SUM UP: run from me now, I am obviously not good for anyone's health, least of all my own, and oh god please do not hold me to producing any of these, the end.

OKAY SO I COME BEARING DOMESTICVERSE THINGS. The first is the floorplan for their house in South Pasadena, which I've been wanting to draw up forever. BE ADVISED: I COMPLETELY HALF-ASSED THIS BECAUSE THE SOFTWARE I WAS USING HATED MY GUTS, AND SO I STOPPED LIKE...ADDING FURNITURE AFTER THE KITCHEN AND THE BED. Also, ignore ALL of the dimensions on this thing, I am *not* good at that kind of thing and didn't even guess as much as I like. Just drew it how I thought it would look without consideration of size. BUT:

( Domesticverse floorplan )

Secondly, I...uh...wrote a domesticverse fic. Only this is this new thing I've been wanting to try for ages now: a domesticverse sidestory. These are basically going to be shorter stories that aren't in order with the master timeline/aren't as important to the ongoing plot as the main stories are/are too ridiculous to work into a bigger story. Basically they're little moments as opposed to...you know...plot builders. I'm still angsting over how the hell to tag them on Ao3, but this is the first one.

This particular story is Arthur & Eames' first New Year's Eve as a...couple type thing :D That means that, timeline wise, this is set in between "between my reflex & my resolve" and "this life looks good on you."

Happy New Year, guys! ♥

Title: so this is the new year
Rating: PG/PG-13
Wordcount: ~2550
Summary: On the one hand, they've been…whatever they are…for six whole months, which is probably long enough to trust that Arthur means it when he says Eames can go. On the other hand, it's only been six months, which is not nearly long enough for Eames to take it on faith that Arthur isn't testing him somehow.

( so this is the new year )

HELLO HELLO INTERWEBS.

I apologize for being a little MIA, shit has been busy etc etc holiday parties etc etc limited time etc etc OMG YULETIDE all of things etc etc etc etc. I have a lot of things to say! But, first and foremost, I would like to let everyone know that (drumroll please):

I HAVE NAMED MY BROTHERS.

Yes, it's true, everyone clap, I know you are as thrilled as I am about this. AND EVEN IF YOU ARE NOT, I am deeply relieved not to have to keep typing out "the nineteen year old" and "the eleven year old" every six seconds. And I guess I should probably...tell you...the names. So, uh, basically what happened is two_if_by_sea suggested I call one of them Donkey Punch because she's hilarious and horrifying and stuff, and then that mutated into:

Burro Punch/Burro: My 19-year-old frat boy brother
Burrito Punch/Burrito: My 11-year-old sixth grade brother

You know, because burro means...donkey and "ito" is an...affectionate diminutive...okay anyway HURRAY FOR CATHY! I will probably mostly be calling them Burro and Burrito, TBH :D BUT AT LEAST THEY ARE NAMED NOW.

Speaking of my brothers, ( the other night Burro and I got high and he unwittingly outlined a hilarious Inception fic with me. )

So, you know, that was the best ten minutes of my life.

And now, because it's been ages since I posted fic and I feel legit bad about that (although I am working on things I swear I am) here is a WIP dump!

( 1200 words of unfinished top!Arthur PWP )

( 2,000 words of...um, drunk blowjob porn )

( That coffeeshop AU drabble that I posted on Nellie's AU thinger awhile back )

( And a coffeeshop AU drabble never before seen by the internet )

Will these coffeeshop scenes make it into the coffeeshop sequel? Er, maybe. Which brings up the question: is there going to be a coffeeshop sequel? Er...probably. BUT I DON'T KNOW WHEN, GUYS, IT MIGHT BE MONTHS FROM NOW, DON'T HOLD ME TO ANYTHING, OKAY?

Also I'm working on this other thing. I'll tell you guys about it soon, when it's done. For now, I have a Yuletide to write (oh god) and nails to paint and, hopefully, coffee to drink. HAPPY SATURDAY, GUYS :D

THIS STORY IS FUCKING DONE NOW JESUS CHRIST. Part One can be found here.

So, once upon a time two_if_by_sea and I had this conversation in comments on...something...about this awesome band called Why? and I was all OMG THEIR LYRICS and she was all OMG SO MANY FIC TITLE OPTIONS (I am paraphrasing here) and we started throwing lines back and forth. And she said "I'll see you when the sun sets east/don't forget me" and I said, you know, that line makes me want to write a story about Arthur and Eames getting stuck in limbo and searching for each other, and then I got distracted by other things and forgot about it.

...and then, uh, today I wrote it.

ETA: Now with breathtakingly gorgeous fanart by the fantastic staticlights. Seriously, it's just...it's just stunning, oh my god.

♥

Okay, so, um, you guys, this is the thing: my personal life is in the shitter to degrees I cannot even explain, this has been up there in worst weeks of my life, and despite it I am doing okay. I am doing okay because the amount of love and support and just dsfjdkf I have gotten from you for this coffee shop fic is literally KEEPING ME SANE. There are just. There are nine pages of comments, I don't even, and every time someone pipes up to tell me that they enjoyed it my entire life gets so much better.

THANK YOU, YOU GUYS. I CANNOT THANK YOU ENOUGH, I REALLY, REALLY CAN'T.

And I was just, I was thinking about that and then I was listening to this song angelgazing sent me last night that is literally the musical summary of that story (it's the last one on this mix, in case you were wondering), and I thought, well, you know what, I might as well make a soundtrack. Because, you know, the least I can do is offer you guys some free music in exchange for my sanity :D

So, uh, without further ado or some such thing:

Okay so, in order to tell you that story, I have to tell you this story:

I work at a law firm (in marketing, MARKETING I TELL YOU, I make no claims of having any legal prowess whatsoever), and I have developed this friendship with one of the name partners, who I am going to call McPartner for the sake of not, uh, revealing identities. Basically, we bonded over a mutual love of David Foster Wallace and now he gives me reading assignments and sometimes we talk at great length about the idiocy of people and/or films I need to see, and he's deeply amused by the way I never take his shit. IT IS NOT IN ANY WAY SEXUAL, I WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT RIGHT NOW--he's married and a very upstanding guy and also like 40+ years older than me, it is not that kind of thing. TBH, I think he's decided I'm the Liz Lemon to his Jack Donaghy [ETA: Lmfao, angelgazing has pointed out that it is in fact possible to ship Liz/Jack, so y'all are just going to have to take my word for it, okay? WOULD NOT TOUCH THAT WITH A TEN FOOT POLE, FOR SERIOUS]. IN ANY CASE, he came by my desk on Friday and we had the following conversation:

McPartner: Did you get that book I told you to get yet?
Me: What book? I finished Although Of Course You End Up Becoming Yourself, I told you that.
McPartner: No no no, I mean [name of book redacted because AUGH I FORGOT THE POST-IT AT WORK AGAIN].
Me: ...You never told me to get that book.
McPartner: Yes I did!
Me: Nooo you didn't. I do actually take your reading assignments seriously, even if they do distract from things like, you know, working for you.
McPartner: You know, there are people who are terrified of me.
Me: Shame I'm not one of them, isn't it? Do you remember when you told me about the book?
McPartner: Of course I do, it was...uh...
Me: ...
McPartner: ...okay, maybe I dreamed that.

There was loling, and then I wrote down the name of the book and went about my day. And then TODAY--and keep in mind that I have had extensive conversations about Inception with this guy, because, you know, it was awesome--this happened:

McPartner: Did you finish the book yet?
Me: OH MY GOD IT'S ONLY BEEN TWO DAYS
McPartner: Well, to be fair, in my brain it's been a lot longer.
Me: It's not my fault you can't manage to have these conversations with me in the waking world.
McPartner: Well, I was three levels under.
Me: LOL. The inception didn't take, try harder.
McPartner: Actually, hilariously enough, a friend of mine just went to see that movie, and he'd had a hard day and fell asleep for the first 30 minutes. He called me after and was like "PLEASE EXPLAIN." Can you imagine?
Me: Oh my god, it would be incomprehensible.
McPartner: Why's that guy bleeding in a corner? Is--what's the silver box? Did those stairs just...oh my god, why is the hotel rotating???
Me: DON'T THINK ABOUT ELEPHANTS.

Inception: the more you know.

(ALSO: THE COFFEESHOP AU IS ACTUALLY FOR REAL THIS TIME GOING UP TONIGHT. I'M AT THE PENULTIMATE SCENE AND IT'S ONLY 7PM. IT. IS. HAPPENING.)

(ETA: OH ALSO LOLOLOL I INSTALLED A JGL MOOD THEME LAST NIGHT AND THEN FORGOT TO USE IT. WHOOPS. I HAVE NOW FIXED THAT.)
