Why did you start writing fic? Well
this was in April 2002, so aged 19.
Where are you from? How has your location affected your writing?
Well I am from Vienna/ Austria and I wouldnt say that
my location affects my writing. If it would be asked how my travelling affects
my writings than I would answer- a lot because being in a new surrounding
affects my fantasy and brain, even if its blond a lot.
What all kinds of genre and pairings are youinterested in reading?
Do I really have to answer this? Yes because its my
own question... lol ... I am a big fan of MPJ-Romance and also a little Angst,
but because of the fact that its not my mother tongue, I have some troubles
in Angst and Humor.
What is your secret strategy
for writing good sex scenes? I wouldnt call it a strategy
but I try to let it be as normal as possible and not to use too cruel words
even if sometimes its impossible not to use several words. I dont like clinic
sex scenes, so its my own rule to use some nc17 rated words.
What kind of summary, keywords, pairing, etc. really gets your heart pounding
before you even read the first line of the story? Good
summaries which arent telling me most of it. I mean sometimes its just the
author which tells me that my heart will be jumping around like crazy for
the next couple of minutes ... but most of what I read is MPJR!
What causes you the most difficulty while you're writing a story?
To type as fast as my brain works *g*
What advice would you give someone who is thinking about writing their very
first fic? Write what you want to write and dont ask
people what they would think if you do ... or what they would think if you
write ... and if they would read it! Just write
What music, if any, most inspires you to write? What do you like to listen
to while writing? Celine Dion - mostly, but also classics,
oldies, Ozzy, Bonnie Tyler and Bon Jovi ... depends on my moods
Do you ever get writer's block, and how do you cope
with it?I usually read while I have it ... not that
I ever really got into it too much ... I just have has a writers block fo
for a day or to
Why did you originally get involved with Pretender?
How did the show catch your attention enough to keep you watching? It
was a prime time one here in Vienna ages ago and I was fascinated by it from
the first moment - the same with the X-Files! Somehow I am still at this age,
letting my fantasy wander around in my dream world ....
Have you found that your own relationships have altered
your writing in any way? Has it helped it to become more detailed and thorough?
Somehow yes because my relationships change my moods
but I would never take a situation from one of these and work it into a story
How much of a factor does characterization play in your
stories? Do you find yourself drifting away from the original characters and
developing them into something more your own? God yes
.... I think my Parker is very different from the one who was created by Craig
and Steve ... at least sometimes she is just mine
What else would you like people to know about your stories?
That feedback is important for every writer and that
I want to thank everybody for giving it to me even if a couple of you arent
old enough to read my stories, officially!
