Writing is a hobby.  Most of us write (I belive) because we are under a
compulsion to write; writing is painful but "not writing" can be even
more so.  Sometimes writing is easy and enjoyable also.  Either way, to
dismiss writing fanfiction as a not worthy goal is missing the whole
point of recreation and enjoyment.

         If memory serves, the late Robert Heinlein once referred to
writing as an addiction, and suggested that the spouses of writers
should just set aside a small room with a typewriter/word processor
and all required writing supplies, then cut a small slot in the door
suitable for sliding frozen TV dinners and cans of soda/coffee/ice tea
inside.

         Hmm.. come to think of it, that's pretty much what my
mother did with me. We merely had a small, detached garage
apartment available for use instead of a small room.

         Heh.
