It has become very rare that I read Grimm Fanfiction. But it has to do with Nadalind that ship grows like weeds - and I prefer couple who aren't that often. But I am also not the typical fanfic writer. You can also get an overview here. Scully1987 Fanfics I like to share my work, but I wrote mainly for myself and not for feedback purpose. That is the reason why I write for couples which does not be that often.
Greetings, this is not a snark, but a sincere question directed at you and other writer's of fanfiction.
In the past I have been a low-rent writer, writing movie reviews, magazine articles, how-to-books, technical writing etc I also did some fiction writing with expressed political purpose, i.e. to expose or put an idea in people's heads as part of greater organized effort. I mention this as it should be clear what my motivations are for such writings.
Cut to fan-fiction. I simply do not understand the motivation. I immediately zeroed in one your comments of:
but I wrote mainly for myself and not for feedback purpose.
Would you elaborate on what you get out of writing as you do? I truly do not understand and would like to. You can PM me or post to the forum as you chose if you wish to entertain a reply.
I thank you for any consideration you give this matter.

Hello Izzy,
I hope it's okay if I answer you here.
I'm trying to answer your question out of my point of view. I've been writing fanfiction for years. At the beginning I wrote clearly for feedback. But not anymore. The writing of fanfiction is my hobby. I do it with a lot of fun and pleasure. I have nothing of it but I enjoy to play with the characters of a series and put them into a different scene.
When I write fanfic, I'm thinking about ideas with what would be if... - or I will take a little bit of the scene script - and I simply rewrite the episode scenes as I personally would have liked to see in the episode.
If you have any questions, please let me know : )
greetings
Cangel, Caskett, Nickliette, Spuffy and Mulder/Scully
