How did you come to fan-fiction/slash writing? I have been reading it for months and just started typing one day and a New Beginning took shape.

How do you come up with ideas for stories? Through my fantasies that I have of those adorable elves

What do you do to overcome writer's block? I look at pics of the elves

Is there a certain time of day you usually sit down to write? Usually when my baby is napping in the early afternoons

Have you or would you write stories "on request" for readers? I have written One Stormy Night by request

Which of your own stories do you like best? A New Beginning

What do you think, why the mostly female writers in slash make up stories about male/male relationships? I am not a fan of slash, however I have read a few stories with slash and they were so well writeen that I loved them, wonderful writing overcame the whole slash idea, so although it had descriptive slash writing, the feelings and the characters were so emotional I just loved it.

Do you have muses who help you with your stories? If yes, who are they? Yes, the twins inspire me, I'm partial to Elrohir though.

What do you think is your trademark in stories and why? I don't think I have one, I tend to write love stories with lots of sex. It is fantasy and that is what I fantasize about.

What part of your writing do you think still needs improvement? My typos, I'm terrible at typing. (Yes, someone edited this before it was published! :)

Is there something you would never write? I do not think I would ever attempt slash, I just don't think my imagination would ever do a slash story justice.
