How did you come to fan-fiction/slash writing? I discovered the Library of Moria and slash during an internet search. One thing led to another and I wrote a few chapters on my computer, built up my nerve and posted. The reviews were encouraging, so I kept at it.

How do you come up with ideas for stories? Sit in front of my computer and stare at the screen until the words flow.

What do you do to overcome writer's block? Sit in front of my computer and stare at the screen until the words flow.

Have you written in any other fandom? No.

Do you use music as a soundtrack for your writing? Rarely, it is too distracting.

Have you or would you write stories "on request" for readers? I have written two stories for secret friend challenges. Other than that, it would depend on the pairing and plot and whether I believe I could do it justice.

Which of your own stories do you like best? Hmmm, that is a tough question as I have a love/hate relationship with my stories. There are certain chapters in The Gift that I like. I had a lot of fun writing The Messenger, but if I have to choose, I would pick Warrior.

Do you have muses who help you with your stories? If yes, who are they? Glorfindel and Haldir, always.

What do you think is your trademark in stories and why? I don’t believe I have a trademark. I am still new at this game.

What part of your writing do you think still needs improvement? All parts, especially continuity, flow and originality. I can write two or three good paragraphs, but the rest fall flat. Oh, and commas, sometimes I go overboard.

Is there something you would never write? Femslash, vampires, song fics, anything that is illegal. I have nothing against the first three; they just do not inspire me.
