So, Anything You'd Like to Know?

[kriadydragon]

Ask me anything you want about any one of my stories that you've read. For example: What posessed me to put a tape-worm like creature into Sheppard's back? Why am I always making it so poor Shep loses weight? Why did I have Character A react as he/she did when character B did this? And so on.

I'm not quite sure why I'm doing this. Curiosity? Bordeom? Maybe both, I don't know. It seemed like a fun idea and I wanted to see if it was. Feel free to snurch if you want. There's a good chance something similar has been done already, but I don't recall (or just plain don't know about it.)

I gotta say, it used to concern me when you wrote Sheppard as being so thin. But then I realized that it is about the "underdoggedness", and the fact that he's not used to being so weak he can't help or protect. In our corner of the h/c 'verse, it drives him crazy. He can't show that everything's normal when he's sick/injured, no matter what he says.

My favorite example of this is your story Pyrotechnics (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3420573/1/Pyrotechnics). John was hurt, but tried not to let anything stop him. Even performed a helluva rescue. (Does that make any sense? LOL) Love that story. Oh, and Mercy (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2879952/1/Mercy), where John can't say anything at all. You're a gifted writer, so never stop.

So now, I'm not worried about you anymore. When I write my version of h/c, I use Sheppard's probable weight loss as a sign that something's wrong, since he won't say it outloud. It's a muse that works for me. We all need something to keep us writing!

Which reminds me, can we please have another appearance of Sherbet?

We should probably start a club - or support group - "Skinny-Shep Lovers Anonymous".

Yes, the weight loss must have a purpose. I do feel bad for the times I've made him emaciated, though. It was a way of getting it out of my system since I'm always "trying" to do that to original characters. But, like with Sheppard, I am trying to cut back.

In the Thoughtcrimes fandom, however, Brendan will always be skinny. Not emaciated, just skinny. Because his job, his memory and his obvious OCDness when it comes to doing a good job will forever make him a bean pole and under. Plus, I love whumping him through illness (which, inevitably, leads to weightloss) I don't know why.

Hahahaha. Totally.

I have to agree with you there. He'll always be the obsessive type, I think. Also, Joe's new character, John Ash, seems like Brendan only a bit darker. I don't really like the premise of Women's Murder Club, but adding JF to the mix has made it watchable. Sorta. Seriously, who wants to watch a show with a bunch of headstrong, independent women? LOL Very nearly want to write a tag for the last episode.

Whumping through illness is awesome.

*pokes Reen and whispers in her ear* I have a John Ash comm you could post it to if you wrote it. *puts on halo and makes puppy dog eye*

Hee! I'd like to see the next episode to see if my assumptions are correct. John Ash was kind of a jerk at first, then he softened a bit. I have questions... I'll keep ya posted!

Cool! :D (And I sincerely hope there is a next episode.)
