Interveiw
1. What was your first fandom?
That I was actively involved in? Harry Potter. I remember I felt so incredibly guilty for reading those first few fics too, as if I was betraying the canon or something. So guilty, in fact, that it was over a year later before I read anything in any other fandom too.
That I was actually a fan of? Star Trek: The Next Generation. My mother's favourite story is of me, age 3, reciting the "These are the Voyages..." speech instead of the Pledge of Allegence at some preschool function.
2. How did you get into writing fanfic/creating fanart?
I've always been a writer. But a few years ago I hit a major writer's block with my orginal fiction and was in a really bad RL place, so I started my first fanfic just as a way to unwind. It's kinda grown from there.
3. Is SGA your main squeeze, or are you poly-fandom-ous?
I've many fandoms, but I go through phases with which one's my favourite. Currently that billing belongs to SGA.
4. What makes John and Rodney such an inspiring couple for you?
The chemistry. It's a very believable relationship for me, whether you see it as just friendship or an actual relationship.
5. Who's your favorite, John or Rodney (or both)? How come?
Oh, that's a tough one. Neither? Both? It depends on the episode, really. I can't stand Rodney in his SG-1 episodes (when he first appeared in "48 Hours" I was practically praying for him to be a goa'uld) but I absolutely love him in epsiodes like "Tabula Rasa". But episodes like "Doppleganger" I absolutely adore John. My favourite episodes, however, are ones where they're both BAMFs... so I guess that's my answer.
6. Where can people find more of your work (McShep or otherwise)?
On my livejournal or my ff.net account
7. Pick a piece/story of yours that stands out for you. Give us links and tell us why!
Toughie. " Someone To Run To," I guess, because it's both my first fanfic and because of the insane amount of work I put into it - to the point of crosschecking the Top 40 lists in Britian for whatever week it happened to be in the story. Anyway, it's a HP fic that I basically wrote off the premise of what would it take for Sirius not to die in OotP and I somehow got a 285,000 word girl!Harry/Snape story out of it.
8. Finish this sentence: John and Rodney walk into a bar...
...and dollar bills immediately start flying their way. (I'm thinking complete T3, Schwarzenegger-walks-into-the-bar-on-Ladies-Night scene btw).
9. What question do you wish we'd asked?
Oh, IDK. How I got something from The Terminator out of question #8? Answer: Not the slightest clue.
