Keeper: Of Orlando’s bolts and plates and Craig’s plateau shoes.
Age: I was born in 1965. You do the math.
Gender: “Female! She’s female!” my husband shouts.
Relationship Status: Married with two kids.
Home: Copenhagen, Denmark and yes, I do know the address Viggo uses when he’s visiting his granddad in Ringsted.
Occupation: I’ve been a bookseller for 15 years. Though today I mainly sell stuff for the customer’s hobbies and crafts plus make sure to give sufficient advise.
Hobbies: Writing, reading, my family, singing, dancing, composing, movies, craft, PC – hm… All over the place, huh?
Dislikes: Smoke, gossip, noise. The usual things. War and disease is kind of too obvious, but what the heck! I confess: I dislike war and disease.
Seen LOTR/TTT/ROTK in cinema how often?: LOTR once, TTT twice, ROTH once. Now the proud owner of the DVD’s. The more the merrier.

*****

Favorite Story in Archive: Definitely Dhvana’s ‘Daunting Byron’ and Beryll & Osiris B’s ‘Of Princes and Slaves’.

Favorite Character (real / fictional): For real I adore Orlando, Viggo and Craig. Fictional are Glorfindel, Legolas and Éomer.

Most Hated Character: I always did find Gríma was rather ugly; strange when Brad Dourif is so lovely.

Favorite Movies: ‘Sliding Doors’ (great bunny that one!), ‘Maurice’ and ‘LOTR’ (no particular order).

Favorite Book: I suppose technical non-fiction counts too, as I’m too fond of too many fictions to name a specific one, but Anne Rice could be the winner. I enjoy reference books and encyclopaedias, work related craft books (yawn!) I heard that… Books on movie stars, movies and musicians etc.

How did you come to fan-fiction/slash writing? I’ve been writing slash since I was 14 actually. It just popped into my head trying to molest the lives of Bee Gees. I even had an enthusiastic co-writer! I’ve molested so many movie/rock stars I’m almost blushing thinking about it (almost…)
I just didn’t realize fan fiction sites existed until I accidentally fell over Brenda’s vampire series surfing for pictures of Karl.

How do you come up with ideas for stories? Everything around me cam trigger a direct bunny. When I’m at work, reading articles, pictures. I’m always writing more than one story at the same time.

What do you do to overcome writer's block? Rehearse multiple possibilities until one of them works.

Have you written in any other fandom? Plenty: PotC, Gladiator, Boondock Saints, King Arthur just to mention some…

Do you use music as a soundtrack for your writing? If yes, what kind? Folk /Country music mostly. Songs telling about life as we know it.

Is there a certain time of day you usually sit down to write? Mostly past 21.30pm.

Have you or would you write stories "on request" for readers? There’s a first time for everything. Yes, that would be interesting.

Which of your own stories do you like best? A Thunderous Morph, and unposted wip ‘My Danish Cousin’ and ‘Dakota Tales’.
What do you think, why the mostly female writers in slash make up stories about male/male relationships? They’re getting quite a lot of imaginary boyfriends they wouldn’t have in real life and they’re all good looking movie stars or ethereal elves and hunky humans! And that’s from personal experience as I’m married to the 3 rd highest paid actor in Denmark… ok, that wasn’t entirely truthful. Perhaps he is more in the neighbourhood of home helping assistant, when I put on my glasses!

Do you have muses who help you with your stories? I have quite a handful by now: Bee, Manon and Hawk. Thanks ladies. You are truly a treasure.

What do you think is your trademark in stories and why? As I can gather from the responses I’ve gotten, I’m successful at telling a story. I also like moulding my characters. Making them slightly different each time. And lastly - I can write correct Danish sentences for Viggo, a friend reminded me to mention. (But I knew that already, hehehe!)

What part of your writing do you think still needs improvement? Variety. I tend to cast the same ones over and over. Love at first sight, I’m afraid or the stereotypes are just too perfect.

Is there something you would never write? Yes. Though I’ll write about anything, my limit is under aged children, animals and femme slash.
