Thank you for explaining how to get here. I'd feel silly if I posted my questions to the wrong person! *facepalm*
So. Do you consider yourself a Johngirl or a Rodneygirl? And why this pairing? If you are primarily a fan of one, what appeals to you about the other?
Do you have a backstory in your head for John? For Rodney? Does it shape the way you create an individual Rodney or John for a specific story?
Do you write in a linear fashion or do you piece together a patchwork of scenes? Which story that you've written simply flowed out of you with no effort at all? Which was the hardest and why?
I am both a Johngirl and a Rodneygirl. Rodney edges ahead by .000089%. I blame the nipples.
Why the pairing? Does besotted love count? To give credit where it's due, the way the Flanigan and Hewlett played the characters has everything to do with my mad, crazy love. I can't imagine these characters, played by anyone else, would work the same way for me, which ties into your question about the appeal of the characters. The chemistry between the actors is a gift to fandom. It doesn't hurt that they're both easy on the eyes.
I don't have my own backstory for the boys. I will happily follow an author down the yellow brick road of backstory with glee. Take me there well, and I'll believe. At least for as long as I'm reading the story.
Scenes or linear?I write in a combination of the two. Once I have a strong visual of a scene I have to figure out where it's going to fit in a story. Hence a quick and dirty outline to keep me from wandering all over the place. I love having the ending written first so I know where I'm going. From

I am so with you about pairing John and Rodney with anyone else, I just can't do it (except to end that non-McShep pairing).

*coff* I am rather easy. You probably noticed you didn't have to work too hard ;)
