One motive to write fanfiction is to fix something. The number of TOGOM stories I think shows that. A TV series because of multiple writers and usually not having a overall plan so things get made up on the fly and contradictions happen makes for a lot more things that need fixing. So more stories get written.

OTOH there are half a million Harry Potter stories under the book section of FF.Net which includes the movie universe. Glee has less than 70 thousand.

Lots of people hate their own voice when recorded. When you hear it recorded it doesn't have the parts that conduct straight through the bones so it sounds off. To everyone else it sounds normal.
