I am having a strange experience. I have just finished watching the first season of Friday Night Lights, and, predictably, cheered and shrieked and had to pause several times to shake off the OMGOMGOMG. And now the first season is over, and I will be poking at Hulu for the second before I decide whether I want to buy it or not. But that's not the

I feel like I am that way with all of the media that I enjoy.

I've never (formally, I suppose, when I think about all of the informal writing done during panfandom roleplay at M-ways) written fan-fiction.

You don't consider the impulse to do your own thing with the canon akin to writing fanfic?

[moriendi]

I guess it is fanfic though, huh?

[newredshoes]

Personally, I would call it a similar process? (I mean, I know I write less fanfic when I do more RP, so. *g*)

Heh, I get that sense of confusion, why, if I love this thing so much, there's no desperate need to fic it.

Um. I thought FNL was like that for me -- and then I ficced it. Oops. But not at all like I do SPN. And I loved the X-Files desperately, totally and completely, and yet never needed to fic it.

There hasn't been much of a discernible pattern to the stuff I have to fic for and the stuff I don't. So I guess it's...a convergence of things, and I can really love a set of characters but have no desire to poke further, while something else will eat my brain with chocolate sauce.
