I'm considering several things when reading fanfics. Mostly its just

I consider what makes me write fanfic. I've always been a big 'what if?'
person, as I'm sure most of you are too. But what ismpires you to write
fanfics? About any series? Any genre`? For the sole purpose of
entertaining others?

What inspires me is the feeling I get when I'm writing something good.  
The words seem to resonate within me, sending me on an emotional roller 
coaster along with the characters I'm writing.  For a little while, I can 
live through the characters, see what they see, feel what they feel, and 
learn more about myself from those experiences.  It's not an easy thing 
to accomplish, but when it happens...
