I agree that we don't need any justification to write. I'm just wondering out loud why I do it. I also have written (and published) outside of fandom and it's completely different for me, too. It's a different urge, a different need, and certainly a different audience. :)
The need to write is something I've only recently acquired, and at times like this -- lulls between stories, moments when I can step back and look at what I'm doing -- I wonder about it. Where did it come from? What does it do for me? With me? Is it about self-expression or about wanting to impact others?
