Romancing McShep: Interviews.

[melagan]

A while back MermaidMayonnaise posted a McShep-centered Q&A. (you can read it here) I thought this was a grand undertaking and asked if she'd mind if I took this idea and ran with it.

A few of you may remember some of these questions from the old mcshep_match challenge.

The following questions are for anyone that would like to participate. Answer as few or as many as fits your comfort level.


When did you first discover John and Rodney?

Which episode were you watching when you first saw the slash?

The best thing about McKay/Sheppard?

Who's your favorite, John or Rodney (or both)?

Where can people find more of your work (McShep or otherwise)?

What got you into fanfic/SGA/McShep?

Who do you think is more romantic? John or Rodney?

Favorite story/artwork/vid/creative fanthing?

When did you first discover John and Rodney? The year was 2013. I was right in the middle of The Sentinel fandom, writing my first slash fics, and was recced The Sentinels of Atlantis by Keira Marcos. I wanted to know more about Rodney, so I started reading more SGA fics, and then I watched the series.

Which episode were you watching when you first saw the slash? Very first ep I saw was The Shrine, which, as we all know, is nothing but slash. ::grins::

The best thing about McKay/Sheppard? Rodney is all id and John is all quiet self-sacrifice and they just really fit together well. Plus, John is smart enough to keep up with Rodney and not everyone can say that.

Who's your favorite, John or Rodney (or both)? That's tough. I guess Rodney a little more so? I've been told I write him super well, so I must relate to him on a deeper level. LOL! Or maybe it's just wish fulfillment because Rodney just says what he wants and doesn't worry about how people might feel about it.

Where can people find more of your work (McShep or otherwise)? Over on AO3, where I have 344 posted SGA works.

What got you into fanfic/SGA/McShep? I was very much on the edges of fandom until the 2009 Alice movie on the Syfy channel. That's the fandom I started writing in. The Sentinel is where I branched out into slash. But it's SGA that has my heart from now till forever.

Who do you think is more romantic? John or Rodney? Ppfft. Neither. LOL! But Rodney will always have a surprising moment of thoughtfulness. And I think John is secretly very romantic but unwilling to put himself out there.

Favorite story/artwork/vid/creative fanthing? Keepsakes, by taste_is_sweet, which I will rec until I die. I would recommend any of her other amazing SGA fics as well.

> Very first ep I saw was The Shrine

Good lord... Talk about baptism by fire!

[brumeier]

Go big or go home! LOL!

Actually, I'd read so many ep-related fics that I just had to watch that one first. Then I went back and watched the rest in order.

[melagan]

Wow, what an intro. <3

[brumeier]

Right? LOL!

[melagan]

Good lord, indeed. Most of us have to build up to that. *g*

[sgamadison]

THIS!!

I love Keepsakes! It was written for my SGA Secret Santa 2012 gift. I've read many of your stories too and loved them. I will probably re-read a few after this, once I've finished my Romancing McShep story!

[brumeier]

That was your gift fic? Wow. So lucky! I was such a fan that when Taste left a comment on one of my fics for the first time I gushed all over her. We were fast friends after that. LOL!

Aww, thank you!
