I think it's wonderful that humans have the ability not just to create works of art from the imagination, but to generate pleasure and excitement and engagement literally out of nothing.

The way I fanwank it is that reading fine fics is not just enjoyable, it is a spur to creativity and gives me ideas that I can use in my own work.
