4) How the Story Goes.
3) Stop and Think.
2) Not a Test Run.
1) Horny Toads.... and HOLY FUCK what did I do right in this fic?!? It is the most viewed/most kudoed thing I have posted by a freaking landslide 🤯
5) Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
I try to. If they sit too long I feel weird replying to old ones, but I try. I should do better.
6) What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
A Fractured Version all the parts of it.
7) What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
That's hard I do mostly happy endings.... Probably How the Story Goes, or the Mark's of Joining series maybe?
8) Do you get hate on fics?
I have been very lucky to have great support from people, so no! Thanks guys 🥰
9) Do you write smut? If so what kind?
Yes. A lot of it. What kind? Honustly, I'm all over the place. Read fic tags. But probably do soft/sweet smut the most.
10) Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?
No I do not like them.
11) Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Not that I am aware of, I hate that this is even a thing!
12) Have you ever had a fic translated?
Not to my knowledge but please feel free to just let me know if you do!
13) Have you ever cowritten a fic before?
Technically yes but it was in high-school and it didn’t get posted.

Oh gosh that is hard.... I honustly do not know the answer to that. Cop-out answer but I really have no idea.
15) What's a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
Riding Free With You. Its been abandoned for years, and as much as I wish it would get done I just don't see it ever happening.
16) What are your writing strengths?
Fuck if I know. Smut? Emotions maybe? I like writing dialogue.
17) What are your writing weaknesses?
Grammer, spelling, typos. My dyslexia makes me a shit writer on some fundamental levels, and I accept that and do my best to watch for it and correct it. Also, action scenes, I don't think I'm good at them.
18) Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?
Fine if it's done right. And I really don't know what the right way is. All I know is I hate having to scroll to the bottom to read the A/N to find out what was said by someone in another part of the fic.
19) First fandom you wrote for?
YuGiOh GX. Moving on now...
20) Favorite fic you've ever written?
Probably Fireflies. I am very attached to that one and I don't have a good reason why. It just makes me very happy.
Oh lord that felt like it took forever to put together 😮💨 it was fun though, so thanks much! No tags because I'm pretty sure this has made the rounds already. But if you haven't done it and want to consider yourself tagged!

Yeah, I wasn’t sure when I typed it because I know you McShep lol. So, I see where you are coming from in that respect, if those two were together I could see that. Specifically, I see John as being the most jealous for some reason. I do think they could handle it only with someone they trust dearly, which I think Radek would fit the bill on that for sure, especially with Rodney.
Most of the Rodney/John/Radek I have read actually follows what you have said here about the hierarchy, in the fics Radek doesn’t mind. I have to agree with you though, I don’t think he would be okay with that. He needs to have some sort of equality in his relationships.
Oh! Rodney/Radek/Chuck/John as a quad!! OHHHH YESS! I can get behind that 100% and I mean I only ship John with one other person so that is really saying something!
Hmm… I need to absorb this quad headcanon more because I have never thought of this ship and that is such a good idea!
You know what I’m just going to throw Chuck in everywhere now because he needs the love.
A fic about this double date would be amazing. Alright people, band together <3 let’s go!
Love, Ship Anon <3
well, i kinda ship McShep (wait is McShep a verb? as in if you McShep you ship McKay and Sheppard????) anyways
i think they can both be super jealous, just think of Rodney in "Sanctuary"... he's besides himself!!! (he's also right, which is good, but he's definitely coming from a place of jealousy)
anyways, yes, let's get Chuck the attention he deserves! he's kinda the Walter of Atlantis xD
and yeah... anyone interested in writing a McShep/Radek/Chuck double date fic?
it's funny, i'm not even a big fic reader except for rarepairs (i'm kinda counting teylabeth as a rarepair even though they *do* have 125 fics on ao3...) but I would read that one xD

100 reasons to ship McShep
#42 Because John knows Rodney better than Rodney knows himself
"Say what you want. I know what this is about".
"Oh, really, Mr Mensa in a parallel universe? What is this all about?"
"You think Jeannie likes him more than you".
"What?! That's crazy. That's... that's... that's possibly true".
"Mmm".
(...)
"You're right! Of course, you're right!".

Hi!love your blog! I’ve really gotten into McShep lately without having really seen the show, and it’s so fun to see there’s still fan activity. Hope I could ask you a question? I wondered if John is v.mean to Rodney in canon?i found a video of his laugh(so many fics describe it) and it shows three scenes in a row of Rodney finding the team laughing at him, his sister too. Seems there’s a lot of fun at his expense?
Oh man, it makes me really happy that you’re into McShep :D
Hmmm. Yeah, the show does kind of treat Rodney like the butt of the joke several times, and not just when John is around. But out of 100 episodes, I’d say it’s maybe a couple times per season, overall, that contain cringy scenes.
I wouldn’t ship John and Rodney if they had a bad relationship. They rag on each other, but when the chips are down, they’re shown to genuinely care (even if they can’t always show it TO each other). Rodney legitimately alters an entire timeline to bring John home, and John talks a man into killing himself via wraith to save Rodney. They also hang out during their downtime, talk about comic books, etc.
There’s a reason that McShep was the juggernaut pairing for the Stargate Atlantis fandom. They have amazing chemistry. Don’t let that video put you off!

#45 Because after having Rodney on the team, John is ruined for any other scientist, and there really is no replacement
"Never thought I'd miss Rodney McKay being a member of my team".
"Well, chemistry doesn't happen overnight".
"Hey, at least you still get to go offworld with a team of your own".
"Oh yeah, the best and the brightest".

#43 Because John did what he could to help Rodney fix his relationship with his sister
"Jeannie? This is your brother, Rodney. (...) I really do wish you the best, you know, and I'm sorry we weren't closer. Perhaps, um... if by chance I make it out of this, perhaps one day we can be, and I would like that. (...)"
"When did he record this?"
"Couple of years back when we thought the bad guys were gonna get us".
"Now I've seen three sides of my brother!"
"Yeah".

100 reasons to ship McShep
#29 Because John speaks fluent Rodney and Rodney speaks fluent John (and they are each other's to-English translators)
"Wow".
"Wow?"
"You heard me".
"Let me see if I can couch what Colonel Sheppard means by 'wow' in more explicit terms. That is a terrible plan".
"Can you fix it?"
"Probably not".
"That usually means yes".

100 reasons to ship McShep
#44 Because John didn't want Rodney to feel like a lesser version of Rod and made sure Rodney knew how much his team really appreciates him
"I doubt he'll be back, though".
"That's good. We found him a little, uh, creepy".
"What?"
(...)
"Yeah, let's be honest. Rod was annoying".
"Well, I'll be honest with you. That's kind of nice to hear".

100 reasons to ship McShep
#52 Because there really was no need to clarify what Elizabeth meant, and yet John's denial caused him to emphasize the purely platonic nature of mentioned love
"Rodney, you're a good person. Know that we love you".
"You love me? Really? All of you?"
"In a way a friend... feels about another friend..."

100 reasons to ship McShep
#51 Because John is determined not to let Rodney die, and in the end he feels completely broken about letting him go
"Rodney, if you don't try to do this..."
"I know. I don't have much time left".
"Look, if it's not too much trouble, I'd like you to read my eulogy".
"I refuse to discuss that!"
"There must be something we can do".
"Rodney, as far as this ascension thing, I know you didn't have much success but at this point, what've you got to lose?"
"May as well go out fighting, huh?"
"Absolutely".
"Clear blue skies. All my troubles, just drifting away. OK, stop talking now..."

100 reasons to ship McShep
#49 Because John is the one who takes care of Rodney and tries to help him ascend
"I'll keep an eye on him".
"Thank you!"
"Look, you're teaching me how to meditate. Not exactly good odds there to start with".
"I realise that".
"This is about letting go".
"Rodney! Medical team to my quarters!"

100 reasons to ship McShep
#47 Because John is so not okay with the fact that Rodney named the whale after Samantha Carter
"Probably the very same whale that saved me last year when I was trapped in that submerged jumper".
"I thought Zelenka and I saved you?"
"Well, you did…technically, but only after Sam led you to me".
"Sam?"
"Uh, it's the whale. I named him after Samantha Carter. It's personal reasons".
"You named him after Samantha Carter?!"
"So, these, uh, whales. Did the Ancients say they're good eating?"
"Oh, you wouldn't!"
"I would".
"I've been monitoring Sam on the underwater scanner".
"Stop calling him that".
"Why?"
"It's creepy!"

#46 Because Rodney is so in denial about the fact that he does, actually, miss John a lot
"I don't wanna use the term "lonely," but, uh, there are certain people who... I miss".
"Me?"
"You?! You I'm talking to on the phone right now and having dinner with tomorrow, so not so much".
