Not that my opinion matter much, but I find writing fanfics much easier 
than writing a regular story.  Since you're basically writing to an audience that 
is fairly well acquainted with the main characters, descriptions of those character 
do not have to go too much into detail, as well as their particular actions.

  He's right. Writing fanfics is like bicycling downhill - it doesn't 
take much effort, and the steering bites.
