Bold any reasons that apply to you, strike out any that don't (if you feel like it), and add three reasons of your own to the bottom.
REASONS I WRITE FANFIC:
1. To explore themes that I don't get to see in mass media using characters I love. 2. Because it's fun. 3. Because mass media does a crappy job of representing my race diversity and sexual orientation. 4. Because I can get more people aboard my ship writing a story than a manifesto. 5. Because TV science-fiction doesn't explore its science-fiction premises in enough depth. 6. Because it's a gift I can give a stranger and know they will enjoy it. 7. Because I resonate emotionally with the characters what I read and watch, and want to find out why by writing about it. 8. Because every tale is a universe, often with fascinating nooks and crannies that the original author never explored. 9. Because I've made some of my best and dearest friends through this very wacky hobby. 10. Because the world the creator made is vast, and I want to see more of it. 11. Because writing as a communal experience is amazing. 12. Because I can. 13. Because some characters deserve better than the way they're treated in canon. 14. Because writing fanfic makes me discover things about myself I didn't know before. 15. To share my love for the series with other fans. 16. Because I wasn't happy with canon plot. 17. Because I wanted more of the characters and had run out of canon material to read. 18. Because I wanted to see a particular story/setting but it wasn't available out there. 19. To meet others who think like me. 20. Because I'm good at it. 21. Because I'm too darned lazy to write "serious works" like original fiction. 22. Because I think I can do it better. 23. Because I can't stop, even though I kind of wish I could.
