Date: 2020-02-06 04:39 am (UTC)Which episode were you watching when you first saw the slash? The very first one, since I went into it with slash goggles firmly on. But by Hide and Seek I was like, "Damn, okay."
The best thing about McKay/Sheppard? Is it a cop-out if I say everything? I like the way they fit together like two puzzle pieces. I love how they bicker. They found a home and family on Atlantis, which they both really needed. John's smart enough to keep up with Rodney. He soothes Rodney's edges and can make Rodney shut up and listen. Rodney gets past John's walls. He worries about John, even if it comes out in an aggressive, "You're so dumb" kind of way. I love that they're older characters and such guys.
Who's your favorite, John or Rodney (or both)? I really do dearly love both of them, but I love Rodney more.
Where can people find more of your work (McShep or otherwise)? On ao3.
What got you into fanfic/SGA/McShep? I discovered fandom back in 2001, when I was 12 years old. My fandom friend linked me to Kaneko's Intersections, which I enjoyed even if I wasn't sure what was going on. I started watching the show already shipping it, but damn if they didn't seem super obvious to me. I remember reading that The Shrine was a BIG EPISODE for the boys, but my friend urged me not to skip to it because the build up makes it so much more of a gut punch. I listened and held off, and ow.
Who do you think is more romantic? John or Rodney? Both? Or maybe neither. I don't really see them as the type to care about anniversaries. It's in the everyday things with them. John makes sure Rodney eats and actually gets sleep. Rodney frets about John's safety. If they think/see/hear about something cool the other person might like, they'll get it for them, no special reason.
Favorite story/artwork/vid/creative fanthing? sjaf;kas only ONE? There's no way I can pick a favorite story or artwork. So: Run Baby Run by randommindtime. I cannot even with that video, as the kids used to say.
