Honestly I love being a fanfiction writer. I do writing both for fandoms and "normal" writing and honestly for most of the time I prefer writing fics.
First of all, it makes me feel like I'm a part of whole community. I'm not just some nameless figure - I can easily bond with my readers and I know or at least can make a good guess on what they expect.
Second of all - feedback and talking to your readers is actually fantastic? Like every comment is so precious to me and it makes me wanna work harder and write more. And don’t even get me started on how you actually can make friends with your readers?? This is an actual privilege if you do writing.,
Third of all - usually if you write fics, they are about world/universum that you love and that you think a lot about. Knowing that you are responsible for adding one more brick to that world can’t be compared to anything else.
And lastly - when it comes to fics... even if you don’t publish one or two fics you still feel satisfied? You’re like “oh yes, I wanted to see this happen and I made it happen! Even if it’s only for myself”
Seriously. Writing fics is amazing.
