Lenore was interviewed for Supernatural Roundtable.

Some Excerpts

I wrote my first story Factum Amoris in October, 2005, a few months after the show aired. I saw the Wincest pretty much from the beginning, and I was pleased to find that it wasn't just me! *g* I have, though, also written some gen, including Shadows and Sunshine Land, which is a casefile that follows on after "Asylum," and Paradise Where You Find It. Like many people who are fans of the show, I'm in it for the love between the brothers, however that love is expressed. It's rare that I write anything other than Sam/Dean or Sam, Dean, but I do have one Sam/Lenore story and one Dean/OMC porny thing.

Now, for your question, why Sam/Dean or Sam, Dean? That's a good one, because I do love other characters on the show. I have the major hots for JDM, and I love Bobby. I also really liked Ellen and Lenore (and not just because she has such an awesome name! *g*). But what hooked me on the show and keeps me tuning in is the relationship between Sam and Dean.

The pairings that intrigue me the most are always the ones where you feel like no one else will ever understand either character the way they understand each other. No one else will ever be as close. No matter how many other people are in their lives, this is always going to be the most important relationship they have. Almost every episode of Supernatural is a love song about how much Sam and Dean love each other, and I'm a total sucker for that!

Actually, that's why I'm not really a Sam!girl or a Dean!girl. What I love is the two of them together.

I love the candy part of the writing process, the first rush of inspiration! An idea will just hit me, and I'll get very caught up in it, and the images will be very detailed, very multi-sensory. I'll hear the way the story sounds, and I'll see what's happening. I'll think about the idea and think about it, until I feel like I really know it. Then I'll write very detailed notes, the key images, snippets of dialog, and the story really comes to life in my imagination, and it's very exciting. So that's my favorite part, that first outpouring of ideas onto the page.
