I'm relatively new to this group and I always love asking people what motivates them to write fanfiction.
A good friend of mine always says, "Fanfiction is to fix". And I believe it.
My first experience writing fanfic was after a show I loved was cancelled and left far too many unanswered questions. I had to have answers. I couldn't leave it that way. So I came up with my own.
Bringing a couple together is a huge motivational factor as well. I've spent years writing those types of stories.
Coming late to the party with "Lois & Clark", I already know they're getting together. Yet, to my surprise, that doesn't spoil it. We get so many neat moments the journey is still fun and the characters are so richly fleshed out. I don't feel the urge to 'fix' anything though it is fun to wonder, "What if..."
The best explanation I have for me writing "Lois & Clark" fic is that the subject is so much fun. I loved superheroes as a kid, though, admittedly I was more of a 60s Batman fan and Superfriends. Super powers, secret identities, clones - it's fun to play with.
What motivates you?
