*****

Favorite Story in Archive: omg..there are so many. Since I have so many stories and authors that I love I can’t really decide who is my favorite.

Favorite Character (real / fictional): Elrond is my most fav Tolkien character. I guess that makes Hugo Weaving my most fav real person.

Most Hated Character: PJ’s version/vision of Arwen.

Favorite Movie: It’s a tie between this little Aussie fic called The Interview with Hugo Weaving and an Indipendent called The Red Violin.

Favorite Book: Ah. Well. Again, I have to pick ONE? (I’m a lit major. I don’t have a favorite. Maybe a most disliked.)

How did you come to fan-fiction/slash writing? I stumbled across theban and that led me to fanfiction. I signed on as a Beta reader in Tortured Scribes and did a Hedda the Dwarf challenge. It had to envolve satin and leather. That lead me to create In Dreams.

How do you come up with ideas for stories? I have a beta, larian_elensar, who loves to test my plot bunny armor. It’s weak. Very weak. I need new armor.

What do you do to overcome writer's block? I talk to list mum Alex or archivist larian.

Have you written in any other fandom? If yes, where can your stories be found? I have done a Matrix piece. You can find it on my site or OEAM.

Do you use music as a soundtrack for your writing? If yes, what kind? I only use music if it’s a music challenge. Usually rock.

Is there a certain time of day you usually sit down to write? Naw. My mind never shuts down, so I write when I have five mintues or more.

Have you or would you write stories "on request" for readers? Not really, though if someone makes a suggestion about a sequel, I try to see if it works. I did accept kind of a personal challenge from Rangeruk115 over at Halla Quenta to do a Matrix song fic. I enjoyed it and would do it again if someone asked.

Which of your own stories do you like best? My favorite is Warrior’s Lament, but there are several of which I am quite proud.

What do you think, why the mostly female writers in slash make up stories about male/male relationships? I think we are intrigued by the nature of male/male relationships and express that curiosity in our fiction.

Do you have muses who help you with your stories? If yes, who are they? No muses per se. I am inspired by good art by people like Theban or Trinity_Cross and sometimes music or something I’ve read.

What do you think is your trademark in stories and why? I’m an unabashed, unapoligetic smut writer and my fics are frequently bdsm and group.

What part of your writing do you think still needs improvement? I am the world’s worst at description. I see it in my mind and let the reader detail the place as they see fit. It’s my worst flaw, though and I’ve tried to overcome it.

Is there something you would never write? Well, I’ve learned to say Never Say Never, but at this time, I’d be pretty safe in saying I’d never do RPS or Hobbit fic.
