Dear Friends:

       I have a question.  Why?

Why do cows play dumb? You've got me friend. I mean, it's not like they CAN'T
take over mankind...

       What I mean is why do you write fan-fictions?  i can't be
for the money now, can it?

...good question. (One I can't honestly answer having never written a 
fanfiction, but I've written things similar and I am working on a fanfic...)

Why do I do it? Well... boredom I guess. I mean it, here in Arizona, with no
comic source (the closest one is an hour away and my brother won't take me), I
get extremely bored. Yesterday, at school, I was so bored in class I wrote
down the lyrics to about 15 different songs (my hand hurts real bad). That's
how bored I get. I have two hour long phone conversations coinsisting of the
words "hi", "blah", and "bye". That's how bored I get. I use IRC. That's how
bored I get. (just kidding there, if anybody wants to find me on IRC, look for
CarpBoy) 

But there's other times, when I just write ouut of necessity. This past
summer, I wrote about 3 fanfictions. Unfortunately, I left them in a hotel
room (I wrote them on a family trip), and I'm too bitter to write them again.
