General Interview Questions
What attracted you to writing Fanfic and what about it do you enjoy?
I always have had a over abundance of imagination. Also like most people I have a need to create, since I can't paint or carve, play an instrument or sing a note, so I write fanfics about the characters I have grown up with and love.
What about the L&C and the characters do you like the most?
L&C has one of the largest collection of stories on the net. This abundance of fine writing was created by people who not only take care and pride in their work, but also demonstrates their love for Lois and Clark and the Superman universe as a whole.
How do you interpret them in your work?
I lean more towards the way these friends are portrayed in the DCU or the comic books for those of you who don't know what the DCU stands for.
How did you begin writing in general?
In school I found out I had the ability to make people laugh with my writing for the school newspaper.
What are you working on now and where do you see it going?
Lois finds herself pregnant with Clark's baby, but their joy is soon dashed when they discover that Lois can't carry the child to term. To do so would mean both their lives. But there is hope in the form of Clark's best friend {The DCU version} a certain Amazon princess.
What is your opinion about the following types of L&C fanfic's?
Action?
Always good, especially for a short quick read.
Drama?
As a writer when some one tells you that your work made them cry or laugh it makes your day.
Humor?
Dying is easy, comedy is hard!
Round Robin?
Too confusing; a story needs a blueprint to follow. .
Nfic?
Has *everything* been done in your opinion, and if not, what is left?
There is always some thing new to try or worlds to visit or best of all a new take on a well-known character.
What do you think makes the best story?
I enjoy the Elseworld stories. These are stories where we find our heroes in new and different settings, but making sure to still keep faith with their basic personalities.
Would you like to add a link or URL to your favorite fanfic for the readers to sample your writing?
Sure. Fanzing - http//www.fanzing.com/home/index.shtml

Where is the best place for a reader to locate your work?

I guess I can call myself something that can pass for an author, if I am able to entertain someone, move them to tears or best of all make them laugh!
