Where do you live? Melbourne, Victoria, Australia

Age? 41

Family? Married, one son, and one cat

What do you do for a living? I'm an admin assistant at a teacher's association

What other hobbies do you enjoy participating in? Let's see……I like reading (books and fanfic), writing, knitting, cross-stitch, going to the cinema

How long have you been writing fanfiction? About two years

How did you get started writing it? Attacked by a plot bunny! The story was called 'Reflections' featuring Legolas and Aragorn.

Which are your favorite characters to write about? Elves in general, though I do like to write about Glorfindel (funny that), Erestor, Legolas, Elrond, the twins……look, just elves in general!

What is your favorite genre/style, etc to write in? Help! Um……het, slash, fluff, angst (though minimal), humour (bad, I'm afraid), and definitely epics!

What other fandoms besides LOTR have you written in? I've only written LotR; frankly, I have enough trouble writing in this one without attempting another fandom!

Do you write original fiction or poetry as well, either published or unpublished? I wish, but sadly no. I'm not that talented.

What gives you the best inspiration for your stories? Usually plot bunnies attacking me in the middle of the night when I'm trying to get to sleep, the rotten little buggers! Though I saw a gorgeous pic done by SayAye of Lindir and Rúmil that would inspire me to write a story -- but not until I've finished what I've started!

Anything else you would like to say? I write because I love writing, and it's an outlet for me. If others get enjoyment from reading my stories, then that's a bonus. I'm not writing as much as I used to -- too many other things happening, plus lack of motivation/ideas etc. But I'm getting there, even if it is slowly and painfully……
