We're all re-writing a show when we say we don't like something and wish it were another way. Fanfic writing just takes it a step further. It's all about motivation right? Either you're motivated to write it or you don't.

I'm not saying my friend is wrong or anything. She may like geeky things, but she's not hardcore geek like you or me and maybe that's the dividing line. You really have to love a show or fandom.
