Fanfic meme, question 2

scripsi2. Why do you write fanfiction?
Though I wasn’t consciously aware of it at the time, I started to write fanfic to deal with some issues I had actually suppressed and to work through a few things about my sexuality. To my surprise writing, fanfic was a huge help, and I’m certain it had a large part in finally getting over a depression that had plagued me for several years. After that, I didn’t write much for several years, but then a family tragedy made me start writing rather feverishly again. So I definitely started writing to work out issues. But somewhere I got into the habit of writing, and nowadays I mainly write because I find it a very satisfying activity.
