How did you come to fan-fiction writing? I am a published author of poetry and short stories. Stumbled across fanfics on internet one day and it looked like fun to try. I love to read everyones views also.

How do you come up with ideas for stories? Various inspirations.

What do you do to overcome writer's block? Write something else and keep reading.

Have you written in any other fandom? If yes, where can your stories be found? Not yet, all of my other published stuff is on paper.

Do you use music as a soundtrack for your writing? If yes, what kind? Sometimes, but only to classical or heavy metal-don't ask.

Is there a certain time of day you usually sit down to write? After the kids are in bed, so it is somewhat quiet.

Have you or would you write stories "on request" for readers? Would like to try.

Which of your own stories do you like best? The first chapter of A Second Choice.

Do you have muses who help you with your stories? If yes, who are they? Don't use them, would rather be entertained by them.

What do you think is your trademark in stories and why? Haven't really developed one yet.

What part of your writing do you think still needs improvement? Consistancy in longer works.

Is there something you would never write? I would never change or write stories about what is contained in the Bible-too many promises of eternal damnation for doing this.
