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.)

Please? Oh, please tell me which fic it was where you put tape worms in John's back... I think that I haven't read that one yet.

You're a Shep whumper. Among those of us who love Shep whump. I can't explain it. It runs on several reasons. We love to see Shep suffer 'cause he does it so well, 'cause we love to see those around him actually show him that they care? I'm still trying to figure it out myself.

What do you think? I am curious...

Why am I always making it so poor Shep loses weight?

I have wondered this from time to time--particularly since Sheppard seems to maintain a fairly steady, healthy weight in canon.

Although I must admit I am rather bemused by the whole "Shep whump" thing.

Hm...well, I'd ask her a question, but I'm a whumper, too, and generally speaking, we're fairly in sync on viewpoints re: characters and stuff... I suppose I could ask about your fondness for emaciated Shep, but that one's already been asked, so I'll just ask: writing?

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?
