There were many kinds of writers. Some wrote novels, some wrote short stories, some wrote poetry, some wrote plays. There were even people who wrote non-fiction books. I myself write fanfiction. I like writing it because it lets me use my imagination to create a story where no one has ever been before. I can imagine that it is actually happening to the characters from the original works. And I like reading it because I can experience the story from someone else's point of view. It's a great way to spend time. But unlike other kinds of writing, fanfiction does not need to follow the same rules as the original work. In fact, the author has complete freedom to create whatever they want and I can only use the basic plot points.
