Reasons For Liking Fan Fiction

 I figured that I should justify why I enjoy fan fiction since it is something that I have to do all the time in real life.

1. Free to read
2. There is no need for the writers to redefine the characters since you've already read/seen the originals
1. This allows for things like one shots and stories that just jump in there without too much introductory babble
3. The changes people make are usually interesting, though they can piss you off too
4. Story lines come in all variations and seeing what can be done with an already created universe that you like is entertaining
5. You will occasionally find one that is written REALLY well
6. Crossovers are funny, good, or WTF?
7. Did I mention that they are free??

Well. Those are the main ones that I can think of right now!
