I don't know about you guys, but I started writing fanfiction as an escape from the every-day-life. It can get very boring and monoton. Creating fanfiction gives me the freedom to decide whether there will be happy or sad moments, fights or laughter, normal or supernatural people and so on. It's a way of letting your imagination flow and release all you have hidden there. Some will say that it's a waste of time, but I consider it an extraordirary way of doing something you love.
