Summary: Shawn gets fired by the SBPD. Instead of taking off, Shawn decides to stick with his psychic detective business anyway and actually manages to stay afloat doing private cases. Meanwhile, tempers have cooled at the police station, and Shawn is called in on a case. The catch: Neither Shawn’s hurt feelings or wounded pride have fully recovered, and he refuses the case.

So, the challenge: The SBPD must somehow convince a disillusioned Shawn to give them another chance (or, at least, find some way to get him to take the case.)

Summary:

Alright, I would like to see someone write a fic based of of these lyrics by Shana Cassidy (I think that you can find her on iTunes). I was listening to the song recently, and I realized that it was a great song for Shules. You don't have to actually make it a songfic, but I want the feeling of these words brought to life with a story.

"Take me there sometime
and show me all of the city lights
kiss me under the moon and stars your
your favorite place is mine."

-Arlington

Basically, I would just like it to be a sweet Shules story. You can use as many or as few of the characters as you want, as long as it's Shules ;). Have fun!! :D

Summary:

Alrighty, I don't have inspiration to write it, so I'm recruting anyone who's willing.

Psych and Warehouse 13 crossover!!! Funny, dramatic, whatever. Gus can hit on Myka, Pete can (try to) hit on Jules, Artie and Henry can complain about "the younger generations," Claudia can annoy Lassie, and Shawn will...Shawn will just be Shawn.

Criteria:

(1) Please, no "M" ratings; also, try to keep the language at (or below) the point of usage that they have on both shows.

(2) Keep it as canon as possible. Any point and time at either show is acceptable, though.

(3) Must have at least a little Whump! I don't care if it's a paper-cut or a slap on the face, just have something.

(4) Seeing as WH13 is involved, if there's a crime, make it artifact related. If it has historical basis, you get brownie points.

Otherwise, use whatever your inspiration gives you, and have fun! =D

P.S. If you decided on using characters that I don't list, that's fine; I just didn't want to put them all. ;)

Summary:

  Ok, so I really just LOVE stories like Vengeance, Another Climb, and Ten Letter Word for Murder that bring up Shawn's mysterious past (especially his 'Road Trip'), so my challenge for you is to have Shawn get into some situation through which people find out about some great and terrible secret from his past. He may have once been a cop, or been kidnapped, or been in jail, or in a hostage situation, but whatever it was, no one knew about it and now that its come back up, Shawn must be reluctant to talk about it. Preferably have Shawn also turn out to have some unforeseen skills. Angst, humor, and hurt/comfort must abound and somewhere in the story, someone must get whumped on and, when asked how they are, reply 'Just Pineappley.' Brownie points for either Shawn whump or for it coming from a concussed Henry or Lassie-face. Good luck and please reply! Your awesome stories will be greatly appreciated. I even swear to review and read every single one of your other stories if you do this and respond to any challenges you've made :P Have fun!Oh, and I don't care how long it is, just try to finish it eventually so you don't leave me in the undying anguish of not knowing.

Summary: Shawn and Gus are taken hostage by pirates. For Shawn, it's like a childhood dream come true minus the hostage part. For Gus, it's a nightmare out of his nightmare. Shawn "secures" his and Gus' well being by promising to use his psychic skills for the pirates advantage. Now stuck on a modern day pirate ship and forced to rob other ships Shawn and Gus have to find a way off without being killed in the process.

I only ask that you have lots of banter and Shawn/Gus friendship.

Summary: A while ago, I went on vacation. Completely on a whim, my family stopped driving to visit this gigantic pineapple farm which boasted a very difficult hedge maze. With this as the setting, and the inevitable murderer-chases-Psych-through-the-labyrinth showdown, I'd love to see a casefile-type fic. Even more ideally, set in season 5 (I'm sure everyone knows why) and starring some interaction between Henry and Jules. Or Lassiter finding out. Usual cast.

Summary:

This challenge should contain the following:

  1. Shawn and Gus join the Army. Shawn could have tricked Gus into joining with him. A fight with his father could have prompted Shawn to join.
  2. No one knows where they are. Henry just assumes they took off since it wouldn't be the first time.
  3. Nearing graduation a friend and fellow recruit is found murdered.
  4. The police are called in to investigate and Lassiter and Juliet discover the whereabouts of Shawn and Gus.
  5. Shawn and Gus upon suggestion from their instructors help the police in their investigation since it was one of their own killed.
  6. Juliet tells Henry where his son is.
  7. Shawn and Gus are still Shawn and Gus but different at the same time. Seems like joining the Army has changed them maybe for the better or maybe for the worse, you decide.
  8. Have fun!

Summary:

Okay, so I've been in a really strange mood lately, so I issue this challenge:

Write a story in which Shawn has been turned into an animal.  I don't care if it was from a magical spell or the experiment of some mad scientist, I just want him to be an animal.  Preferably a cat, but a dog or bird would work too. 

I want to see how Shawn would react to becoming an animal and I would love to see how the rest of the characters deal with it, if they find out.

Will Shawn return to his human form, or will he be trapped forever?  It's up to you.  Be creative and have fun.

Summary:

In "If You're So Smart, Then Why Are You Dead?", the director of the gifted school expresses surprise that Gus became a pharmaceutical salesman, rather than a doctor or something.  One of the Psych webisodes attempts to explain Gus's career choice (as teens, Shawn signs Gus up for information on pharmaceutical sales at a career fair), but I feel like this can't be the whole story.  So what happened?  How did a nice boy like Gus end up selling drugs? :-P

I have my own ideas for this fic, but I'm probably not going to get around to it for a while, so I'd like to see what other people can come up with.
