Where do you live? Central Florida, USA, second street on the left, third house on the right, sitting in Legolas' lap.

Age? Early Fourth. Oh wait...you mean MY age...too old to want to answer this question honestly.

Family? Married, with grown children. Thank goodness...don't have to hide the naughty fics and pics.

What do you do for a living? In management, entertainment field.

What other hobbies do you enjoy participating in? There's something OTHER than writing fics?

How long have you been writing fanfiction? A year, give or take.

How did you get started writing it? Starting reading fics first, then thought I'd try my hand at it. Took a lot of nerve to push that send button the first time...but I've been hooked ever since.

Which are your favorite characters to write about? Legolas has always been my favorite, although I write quite a bit about Haldir, the twins, and Glorfindel.

What is your favorite genre/style, etc to write in? Humor...definitely humor, although I written a couple of angsty pieces as well.

What other fandoms besides LOTR have you written in? None. None hold the same interest for me.

Do you write original fiction or poetry as well, either published or unpublished? Yes.

What gives you the best inspiration for your stories? Mostly chatting in the my groups, and challenges posted on different groups and sites.

Muses? Legolas is my chief muse...although I doubt he would be recognizable to most. He tends to wear nothing but a tutu, chase butterflies, and get lost staring at shiny thingees. He's a sweetie...pretty, but not too bright. I also have two OC muses, Lancedhil (whose name roughly translates to "naked elf" - quite appropriate, don't you think?) a Silvan who once served under Haldir, and Uruinaith, (whose name translates to "hot gore" - something I don't even want to try to explain) a Noldor whose tastes run to caviar and champagne.

Anything else you would like to say? Other than the fact that I love writing fics, receiving feedback, and playing with the Elves? No...I don't think so...
