Reasons I write fanfic meme

helens78 just tossed this meme into the ether, so.

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 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.

Leave a name or pairing and a word or phrase or situation or whatever strikes your fancy, and I will write you a sentence, and possibly more if I'm feeling wordy. Leave as many prompts as you like, and lurkers, feel free to prompt away. The more the merrier
