17. What's something you've learned about while doing research for a fic?

For my [redacted] wip, I learned about the history of the Mercedes family and their company as well as several colonial diamond mines in Africa. This was for the purpose of inventing fake history for the fic.

19. Give us a small teaser from one of your WIPs.

From the above [redacted] wip:

“The Mercedes Diamond,” says Nico. He clears his throat, “Le diamant Mercédès—” Seb snorts. “—is a forty-five carat fancy grey diamond with a single imperfection in the shape of a three-pointed star. It was mined in Namibia and cut for none other than Emil Jellinek, who had made a fortune selling automobiles to European aristocrats.”

“I’ve heard this story before,” says Seb, but Nico shushes him.

28. Have you ever tagged a fic "Dead Dove: Do Not Eat"?

Nope! I kind of can’t imagine myself ever writing something that would need the dead dove tag, but you never know! Especially since I’m currently puzzling over a hannibal au… (thinking about how I can justifiably sebcedes-ify it lol)

Mercedes-Benz Vision Simplex Concept, 2019. Presented by Mercedes-Benz Design at Design Essentials 2019, a concept that references the earliest origins of the brand.

“In spring 1901 the history of mobility changed radically. At Race Week in Nice a car the like of which the world had never seen appeared on the starting line: a high-performance car which Daimler-Motoren-Gesellschaft had developed at the suggestion of the visionary Emil Jellinek. The designs which were the norm back then were still closely related to motorised carriages. The Mercedes 35 PS, named after Jellinek's daughter Mercedes, appeared with a completely new vehicle architecture and dominated the competitions in Race Week, which took place on the famous racetrack from Nice to La Turbie, right at the heart of what is now the Mercedes-Benz International Design Center Europe near Nice. The design is acknowledged as the first modern car and it heralded in a new era. Nearly 120 years ago the transformation, away from a high motorised carriage to a flat vehicle design with a light high-performance engine installed low down in the frame and a honeycomb radiator organically integrated into the front, was the pioneer of success and role model for all the cars that were to follow, whatever the brand. The vehicle layout presented for the first time over a century ago remains to this day the technical basis of all cars.”

Sabe porque é que a Mercedes se chama… “Mercedes”?

Com cerca de 120 anos de história, a marca da estrela tem também na sua génese algumas curiosidades interessantes. A origem do seu nome é uma delas. Sabe porque é que a Mercedes se chama… “Mercedes”?

A resposta da origem do nome “Mercedes” é, afinal, simples e tem uma explicação que, provavelmente, o deixará embebecido. Há 120 anos, a 2 de abril de 1900, a Daimler-Motoren-Gesellschaft decidiu chamar aos seus automóveis de Mercédès, em homenagem à filha de Emil Jellinek, um destacado pioneiro no desenvolvimento da tecnologia automóvel, que colocava à prova os veículos Daimler de alto desempenho, em diversas competições da Côte D’Azur, sob o pseudónimo “Monsieur Mercedes”.

Ora, de “Monsieur Mercedes” até “Mercédès” foi um pequeno (mas ternurento) passo, que havia de ficar na história do automóvel, da mesma forma que a menina de onze anos (nascida em 1899), filha de Jellinek, também viu, para sempre, o seu nome ligado à primeira marca de viaturas de luxo em todo o mundo.

Desde então, as letras curvas "Mercédès" passaram a adornar os radiadores dos automóveis de passageiros Daimler. Entrando na “máquina do tempo”, verificamos que o primeiro veículo com um melodioso nome em espanhol - o Mercedes 35 PS - causou sensação na semana de Nice em março de 1901. Tal deveu-se não apenas à sua tecnologia altamente avançada - permitindo que ele vencesse várias corridas - mas também porque o seu design era extremamente elegante. O Mercedes 35 cv é considerado o protótipo do automóvel moderno e, com a sua arquitetura progressiva, tornou-se um modelo para toda a indústria automóvel. Paul Meyan, então secretário-geral do Automobile Club of France, disse após a semana da corrida: "Entramos na Era da Mercedes".

Estava dado o mote e o nome “Mercedes” foi registado como marca comercial a 23 de junho de 1902, tendo sido depois alterado para Mercedes-Benz após a fusão das empresas Daimler e Benz em junho de 1926. A Mercedes-Benz sabe, desde a sua origem, combinar beleza e elegância com desempenho e tecnologia. Além disso, o segredo do atual sucesso do design da Mercedes-Benz é também a combinação de inteligência e emoção.

A única marca automóvel com nome feminino

Até ao momento, a Mercedes-Benz é a única marca automóvel no mundo com um nome feminino. Com a iniciativa She’s Mercedes, criada em 2015, a Mercedes-Benz está a construir uma tradição para as inúmeras clientes do sexo feminino.

Desde 2016, a Mercedes-Benz tem sido consistentemente a marca de automóveis de luxo mais valiosa do mundo e é a única marca europeia entre as 10 melhores no ranking "Melhores Marcas Globais 2019" da Interbrand, a conceituada empresa de consultoria de marcas dos EUA.

What is the Mercedes-Benz Name Meaning?

The Mercedes-Benz name is a combination of two names: Mercedes Jellinek and Karl Benz. Originally, Mercedes-Benz was founded by Karl Benz and Gottlieb Wilhelm Daimler and was part of Daimler Motoren Gesellschaft, better known as DMG. The company was first known by the name Daimler-Benz, as an homage to the founders.

After Gottlieb Wilhelm Daimler passed away, entrepreneur and racing enthusiast Emil Jellinek was brought on by chief engineer Wilhelm Maybach. Emil went on to help create the Mercedes 35hp in 1900. Jellinek named the new cars after his daughter, Mercédès Jellinek, whose Spanish name translated to “mercy.” The company later went on to have the “Mercedes” name trademarked 1902. While the company continued to trade as Daimler-Benz, the car line began to carry the Mercedes-Benz name.
