How long have you been writing fanfiction? Four years

How did you get started writing it? Some friends and I started working on a fan fic/RPG type piece on a messageboard, and I just kind of stumbled into reading fanfic. After a while, I decided to go ahead and give it a try.

Which are your favorite characters to write about? Legolas, Elrond, Glorfindel

What is your favorite genre/style, etc to write in? I'm kinda all over the place with the types I write. I do tend to only write slash. I'm pretty good with the epics, though, lol.

What other fandoms besides LOTR have you written in? Harry Potter, CSI, Smallville, X-Men, plus several others I plan on writing in (CSI: Miami, Batman/Smallville crossover, Van Helsing, etc).

Do you write original fiction or poetry as well, either published or unpublished? I'm currently working on outlines and research for a number of different genres for original novels, and I'm doing some worldbuilding for a fantasy series of my own.

What gives you the best inspiration for your stories? Sometimes songs, sometimes the movies or the books. Other times I'll be talking with someone or working in another fandom and an idea will pop up. Occasionally another story will give me an idea that deals with the pairing/threesome, but will take me in a whole other direction.
