*****

Favorite Story in Archive: Keeper of the Flame by Larian Elensar

Favorite Character (real/fictional): Gil-galad

Most hated Character: Saruman... because he betrayed the trust of his fellow wizards and he betrayed his own purpose buy letting the lust for power seduce him.

Favorite Movie: Don't shoot me but the original Star Wars Trilogy and the LOTR trilogy so far are tied.

Favorite Book: The Persian Boy by Mary Renault

How did you come to fan-fiction/slash writing? I always liked writing and I stumbled into slash in the Crusade/B5 fandom and I was hooked. I had written some of it but hadn't known it was "slash".

How do you come up with ideas for stories? I read the LOTR books and watch the movies. I read info and bios on the real people.

What do you do to overcome writer's block? I don't think I’ve ever had it.

Have you written in any other fandom? yes

If yes, where can your stories be found? Have written some Crusade, B5 and Star Wars fandom stuff, a touch of Farscape and Dark Angel. My website.

And one LOTR/Crusade crossover I’m very proud of. It’s been included at the Space Witches site. I’m very proud to be in their company.

Do you use music as a soundtrack for your writing? No

Is there a certain time of day you usually sit down to write? Usually in the morning

Have you or would you write stories "on request" for readers? Yes I have.

Which of your own stories do you like best? Brothers In Arms and No Safe Place.

What do you think, why the mostly female writers in slash make up stories about male/male relationships? Hmm I just like pretty men... dunno why others write it.

Do you have muses who help you with your stories? yes

If yes, who are they? Celeborn is my muse and he tolerates a few others.

What do you think is your trademark in stories and why? I’m really good at angst and dark fiction. And smut. I’m really good at smut though I seldom write it anymore.

What part of your writing do you think still needs improvement? I tend to be too brief.
