Why Fanfic
Via ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
boosette and branchandroot (I'm cobbling their two lists together), a meme I can't pass up:
Bold any reasons that apply to you, strike out any that don't (if you feel like it), and add three (or more, or less) reasons of your own to the bottom.
REASONS I WRITE FANFIC
( #1-#25 )
And my additions (some perhaps a bit redundant)...
26. Because I'm inspired to do it.
27. Because these characters are dear to me, and writing fanfiction is a way to spend time with them and do something awesome with and for them.
28. Because the original author didn't think through some aspect(s) of their situation/characterization/worldbuilding/etc. to my statisfaction and I want to work through the full implications I see in it.*
29. Because I always find myself thinking "What if...?" "Wouldn't it have been great if...?" "Wouldn't it be better if...?"
30. Because it's natural.
* Yes, I'm looking at you, Rowling.
