Why I write more fanfic than original fiction

[jedusaur]

I've been writing a lot of fic lately. When I post the one that's currently almost finished, I will have posted over one hundred thousand words of bandom fic since I started writing it in October. That's a hell of a lot of words, for me. I have several nerdy neuropsychological theories about why I like bandom so much as opposed to other fandoms,

Man, you said that so eloquently! (Plus I loved all the links.) But you basically just summed up exactly how I feel about it. :D

It is pretty much impossible for me to talk about anything even vaguely social-sciencey for a significant amount of time without referencing the FAE and/or Mischel's marshmallow experiment. And it is pretty much impossible for me to talk about anything at all without referencing preference behavior. *nerrrrrd*

Oh fandom! ♥

I'm glad my random noodlings are helpful to you! I have trouble sometimes with bandom guilt, because really, if you think about it objectively, bandom is fucking ridiculous. But I am not an objective thinker on the subject of bandom! I have feelings, and they are getting me to write, and I just refuse to feel bad about that anymore. \o/
