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? right from the very beginning of Atlantis

Which episode were you watching when you first saw the slash? Probably "Thirty-Eight Minutes"

The best thing about McKay/Sheppard? How incredibly awkward they are. It's not a "twoo lurve" or anything perfect, it's two awkward people who finally figure out they fit together nicely.

Who's your favorite, John or Rodney (or both)? I can't pick. Both!

Where can people find more of your work (McShep or otherwise)? On AO3 now; older stuff is on Live Journal (same username)

What got you into fanfic/SGA/McShep? I was already writing SG1 fic when SGA came on the air and the move there was seamless.

Who do you think is more romantic? John or Rodney? John, because he has better role models. My head canon is that for all of John's dubious relationship with his dad, his mom and dad loved each other and John knows what that means.

Favorite story/artwork/vid/creative fanthing? There's really too much to pick from... I'm going to cheat and go with a category, the "Atlantis Big Bang" fic (a bunch of which are on AO3 here: https://archiveofourown.org/tags/Stargate%20Atlantis%20Big%20Bang%20Challenge/works) gives a good picture of some of the those amazing fic.

I don't think I've ever heard it put more succinctly. :)

Exactly!

Yes yes and extra yes. Aw, man, I love stories that show that journey.

Thanks for the link!
