How did you come to fan-fiction/slash writing? I read every story I could find online and had to start writing my own to feed my demons. :)

How do you come up with ideas for stories? Dreams/Fantasies or even from other stories or even movies or songs I hear where it inspires me. Movies sometimes...just a phrase that might catch my imagination...the bunnies pop out from everywhere it seems.

What do you do to overcome writer's block? Work on something else and leave it for a while it will eventually come to me, otherwise I will scrap it and start a new story.

Have you written in any other fandom? Nope.

Do you use music as a soundtrack for your writing? Sometimes
If yes, what kind? Enya, Evanescence, Perfect Circle, and Sarah McLaughlin among others

Is there a certain time of day you usually sit down to write? Evenings after work and weekends when there is nothing else to do (shh sometimes at work when I am bored silly going through lines of HTML code but don't tell my boss ;)

Have you or would you write stories "on request" for readers? Depends on the request I suppose, my husband keeps requesting a female/female sex scene in one of my stories. hahaha.

Which of your own stories do you like best? Of my HET I would say The Kitchen Witch of my SLASH I would say Making Up for Lost Time

What do you think, why the mostly female writers in slash make up stories about male/male relationships? I focus mostly on real person HET myself but delve into SLASH a bit...I dunno I guess for the same reason men love female/female porn movies :)

Do you have muses who help you with your stories? Yes
If yes, who are they? Yummy Viggo Mortensen. (I think the man could stand on his head and recite the alphabet backwards and I would think it was sexy.)

What do you think is your trademark in stories and why? Romance and happy endings.

What part of your writing do you think still needs improvement? Male/Male sex scenes I always struggle with them.

Is there something you would never write? Graphic rape/violence.
