-What are your hobby’s?
Drawing, music, cooking.. I don't have a lot of interests really.

- What type of cooking do you like most?
I like all types of cooking.. Usually italian styled dishes and desserts. :D

- Do you have a favourite dish/dessert?
Um... Favourite dish would probably be.. My flattened taragon and basic chicken with a mushroom, lemon and white wine sauce.

-How did you end up on Elftown?
Through Elfwood, but I was a member at Elfwood for a year or two before finding out about ET.

-What do you like most about fantasy: writing, images, reading etc.
I like the imagination that's involved. The fact that you can transport yourself into an ethereal world all of your own making.

-Questions about the content of the house:
*How were the graphics/pictures made?
Um.. I made them myself. I draw a lot, so I like to make my house as unique as I can.

*How often do you update it?
Every few months I guess.. My photos of me are oldish.

-What is it you do mostly on Elftown? (chat/build/wiki’s etc.)
I work a lot on my wikis. My newest being The Critique Board as well as Asrun's Tutorials. I've been working in real life a lot so other members are picking up the critique slack. They are all awesome artists that have a lot of useful advice to give.

*Is there a particular thing you like about Elftown, such as a specific wiki?
I like the art contests (though I don't enter as much as I used to). I especially like the offical contests because there are a lot of artists that normally don't showcase their work that enter. There are also a lot of art communities that I'm a part of.. Such as lady of lore's art archives and best of best artists on elftown

-Is there a member who’s house you really like yourself? Why do you like that house?
I really like [Leara]'s, [Sunrose]'s, [Delladreing]'s, [spincrus]'s, and [spiritee]'s because they have really unique art/graphics up that separate their houses neatly. They are a joy to visit and the updates are always great fun.

-Have any critique/comments/suggestions/admiration etc. on a specific Elftown matter?
I admire elftowners for the amount of talents that we as a community possess. I think it's incredible that there are so many artists, writers, photographers all in one place that share a common interest.  Everyone in Elftown is willing to help each other out and share their knowledge with the masses. You can't get that anywhere else on the net. ET isn't just about saying "oh.. I like it! +fav" it's about having others be honest with you and your work in order to help you master your skills.

-What is your message to all Elftowners?
My message is to just be yourself and to continue to strive to be the best that you can be. A lot of elftowners ask me how is it that I can draw. There's no secret. I pratice. A lot. I never used to be able to draw. I wasn't some child prodigy that you hear of on the news, and I'm still not. I get bad marks on my art, because it forces me to be better. Being able to see and accept your flaws will only make you a stronger, better person and I have Elftown to thank for a lot of that.

Last:

Erm.. hold on... >.>;; ew photos...
