Basically you get really bored one day and you start saying to yourself "What if..." then write it down. Years ago I wrote a fanfic for Sailor Moon that was meant to poke fun at how corny the series was which got insanely popular and spread around the internet like wildfire. To this day I still get emails from people saying how much they like that story which I wrote about 8 years ago. Craziness.
But then you have the sickos like the one above who are oftentimes being dead serious about what they're writing. I don't get that personally.
I don't understand slashfic. I mean, I understand the appeal-- it's just pr0n. But I don't understand why people would write it.... at least, not why they would write it and share it everywhere and tell everyone off if they tried to point out the flaws.
Um. I have a lot of slashfic/fanfic writers/lovers in my Friends list, and I still don't get it.
