Why fic? Why not original stories?
Ahem. These are original stories. Just not original characters, situations, or, er--universes, for lack of a better word. Mostly, it's about love. I love the characters/situations/universes, and I want to spend more time with them. Same reason I watch/read the source material, really: I love it.
Do you, as a fanfic writer, write for feedback?
No. I write because I must. I write because stories bubble up inside me and spill out my fingers (I WISH, although that might be a little weird, come to think of it). I write because I can't not write.
Do you post fanfic for feedback?
Partly. Ilove like think feedback is okay. All kinds of feedback--even the ones that annoy me, because I know someone read it and cared enough to drop me a line or two.
Do you expect reviews?
Never. Sort of. I have an assumption of how many reviews a piece might get, but I never expect any one person to reply. And if fewer people respond than I think will, I have to assume the fic didn't resonate the way I hoped it would, or that I was mistaken about its appeal. I never assume the problem is with the reviewer who didn't respond, but with the story.
Why else would you post fic?
I post it because I write it, because I want to share it, because I hope that it will satisfy something in the reader, like writing it satisfied something in me. I post it because to do otherwise means that no one can read that story/interpretation/mood and recognize it and share it with me. I post it because I love it, because I want others to love it, too.
