Discussion:

Apologies if this has been asked recently. What made you start writing fanfic? How long have you been writing it for? What keeps you writing it?

My brain is broken, so I'm reduced to crack-fic. Hotch and Reid, smushed together (naked!) in a box by a gay unsub in Smallville, Kansas. Let the cracking commence!

I've been telling myself stories based on TV-shows and stuff forever, it seems. Still do, before I go to sleep. But started writing fanfic just after discovering this amazing concept back in 2000. I haven't really looked back since. :-D

I write fanfic for training. I write fanfic because it's fun. And I write because I can't stop. Fanfic is like this amazing playground with these really cool playmates who do what you tell them to (well, most of the time, anyway). It's my own personal holodeck, where I can create whatever I can think of, and invite other's in to experience this thing I created because I thought it was fun and might be cool.

Ha! Smallville? What, are you doing a crossover? ;)

Also, I should mention, in the Sherlock AU I'm starting to work on, there's a pretty solid chance the FBI is going to be involved at some point, particularly profilers. You have NO IDEA how tempted I am to sneak some familiar faces in there. ;)

I mentioned that my brain is broken, right? So when I needed an location and an unsub in what is already so cracked it's ridiculous... Well. Smallville always comes to mind... ;-)
