How did you come to fan-fiction/slash writing? Quite by accident, actually. I had done a "Haldir" search and discovered several websites with fanfic. A lot was good - a lot was really BAD and I thought to my self - you know, my fantasy life is BETTER than this! So... I started writing!

How do you come up with ideas for stories?.Mondo bunnies, man! It's the Bunnies that get thrown everywhere!

What do you do to overcome writer's block? I turn on Andrea Vollenweider or heavy metal music or old 80's tunes. Really loud and dance!

Have you written in any other fandom? If yes, where can your stories be found? Nope, although I am playing with a LORT/Harry Potter crossover right now...

Do you use music as a soundtrack for your writing? If yes, what kind? Sure do! I am accused of writing glorified song fics.

Is there a certain time of day you usually sit down to write? Usually late at night

Have you or would you write stories "on request" for readers? I haven't, but I would do it if asked. Wish someone would write one for me - hint hint!!!

Which of your own stories do you like best? Well - I am kinda fond of The Empty Vessel right now!

What do you think, why the mostly female writers in slash make up stories about male/male relationships? Well, guys are REALLY interested in lesbian relationships and I think we miss the possible beauty of male on male relationships. Besides, it's kind of a neat idea that the Elves ae so perverted, they will do anybody!

Do you have muses who help you with your stories? Yep- 2 of the fightingest, arguinest, lovingest muses a girl could ask for - Haldir and Snape! (Talk about your opposites, eh?)

What do you think is your trademark in stories and why? I have been told by several people that I bring to life, that they feel they are right there with it and that it is almost like painted words.

What part of your writing do you think still needs improvement? All of it! Thank God my beta knows so much about canon and is keeping me on track!

Is there something you would never write? Sex with slimey Grima!
