McShep Match Team Member Interview Questions
this is a manually unlocked post: please do not post spoilers
Hi there! I'm busaikko, and I'm going to be managing the Team War side of the interviews. Hi!
I'm really excited to be having interviews! *throws confetti* I'd love to see as many of you join in as possible, so I'm trying to make this as easy as possible. Participation is not mandatory at all, so if you prefer your veil of secrecy, no worries; on the other hand, if you like talking about yourself -- here's your chance!
Sign-ups for Team War will start 7:00 Sunday morning Japan time... which is Saturday at 22:00 GMT, 6pm US east coast, and 3 in the afternoon for Californians. I do not anticipate a mad rush for sign-ups: there will be two slots available every day from August 1 to August 20. Sign-ups by proxy are also fine.
We want to know all about you, and have a bunch of questions. You don't need to answer all the questions; just pick whichever ones from the two sections that interest you.
For that real 'interview' sensation, people who are willing to accept questions from the Team members can leave a comment at this post, and anyone can then write questions to you directly. You are under no obligation to answer if asked; and be aware that maximum courtesy is required (i.e., not 'Why the hell do you also ship Sheppard/ThatRatBastard?'; do not assume that I will understand this to be funny and not hostile).
You did notice that "this is a manually unlocked post: please do not post spoilers" warning, yes? This means that, when it is unlocked, non-War members can read this post and comment here. Feel free to link your flist to your name and solicit questions from the masses *g*
Interviews will be posted to the Team War and Team Peace comms and (like this post) manually unlocked so that people not on the teams can read them. Because the interviews will be open to the public, for questions relating to your writing style and/or your Match fic, obviously secrecy is required! (feel free to bend the truth like Beckham... we'll call it 'creative misdirection' *adjusts halo atop horns*).
Big List'o'Questions
Let's talk about: you!
1. How long have you been writing fan fiction and/or making fan art and/or whatever else (vids, knitted goods, pornographic gingerbread cookies)?
2. Have you participated or are you participating in any other fandoms?
3. What fanwork are you most proud of? Or, what is your favourite of your fanworks? (links, please!)
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?
5. Where can interested readers/viewers find more of your work? (homepage, LJ fic index, etc.)
6. Do you write original fiction (poetry, screenplays)? Do you create original art (comics, photographs, quilts, wedding cakes)? Care to share?
7. How are you so awesome?
Let's talk about: SGA!
8. What do you enjoy most about SGA and/or SGA fandom?
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?
10. Why did you choose to join Team War?
11. C'mon, you know you wanna! Just a bit of squee about your Match fic? [good example: 'very proud of my second scene' / bad example: 'When Rodney kisses John after they find out the butler did it'.]
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!)
Ooh, shiny! Look, all the interview questions are neatly formatted in a little box! Just select, cut, paste into a text file, delete the questions you don't need, and you're good to go!
