Team Interviews: Berlinghoff79
My Name: berlinghoff79
Team: PEACE!!!
1. How long have you been writing fan fiction and/or making fan art and/or whatever else (vids, knitted goods, pornographic gingerbread cookies)?
Hm, my first real fandom was Star Trek: TNG. I started watching when it first aired here in 1990 and fell in love. I wrote fanfic before I knew it was called fanfic. Just for me, though. It was awful!!! I'd blame the fact that I was 11 back then, but I'm not any better now, so, I guess it wasn't meant to be.
Around the same time I started drawing things. I might have been a teensy bit obsessed with Wesley Crusher. I still have those 'art' pieces, somewhere. In the basement, I think.
I once did The Diggin' in the Back of the Closet Fandom Meme. You can find my oldest online fanworks there. The 7of9 was my first and only picture ever printed in a fanzine.
My first SGA art was a manip back in 2006.
So, first general fandom fanart 19 years ago, first SGA 3...only 3?
2. Have you participated or are you participating in any other fandoms? Like I mentioned ST: TNG, DS9, VOY and more recently Merlin BBC and ST-XI (Kirk/Bones forever!).
3. What fanwork are you most proud of? Or, what is your favourite of your fanworks? (links, please!)
My mcshep_peace art piece thingy or my lonely vid
4. As far as creative processes go, what type of writer/artist are you? Do you create an outline/find photo references/make maps, etc., or do you jump in and go with the flow?
I tend to do my best work in one sitting. A lazy Sunday spent in front of a notepad and my computer. Breaks in between are never good. I lose interest very fast.
5. Where can interested readers/viewers find more of your work? (homepage, LJ fic index, etc.)
It's all at my EllJay. berlinghoff79. I'd say "Use the tags!", but I fear you'd get lost ;) And my 2008 art is linked here
7. How are you so awesome?
I just am ;P
Let's talk about: SGA!
9. Why do you ship McKay/Sheppard? What draws you to the pairing, what do you like and dislike? Favourite scenes or episodes? Quotes? Screencaps? What other SGA pairings do you ship?
Favourite episode is "Echoes" *shameless recycling of picture*.
Other pairings: I've been known to like me some Team Love. OT4!!!*sighs happily*
10. Why did you choose to join Team Peace?
My style is way too bubbly and bright for Team War.
12. What are your 'tells'? How can a fic of yours be spotted in the wild? (again, go ahead and make origami out of the truth!)
Fic tells? If it's awful, it's probably by me ;)
Art? I have promised one of my flisters to always put one thing in all my John/Rodyney artworks. Yep, even in my mcshep_match pic.
chkc asked: Um, what kind of art do you like to make best? Photomanip? Hand drawing with traditional/digital media?
Hm, I think hand drawing + digital media. Right this very moment.
I love doing manips, but I haven't really made any for quite some time.
Maybe I should...
krysalys asked: berlinghoff79, how are you so awesome?
It still comes natural to me,*grins*.
Team: PEACE!!!
