a question. please let me know I'm not in a soundless void here.

Okay, my ducklings, a question. And answer honestly.

What brings you to fandom? What is it about a show/movie/book/etc. that makes you google it, search it in LJ interests, click on the dreaded ff.net link? Why that story, and not another? And why do you go looking for more of it?

I go to fandom for an extension of canon. I like the canon, I see something there, and that something doesn't come fast enough, so I want more. Maybe it dies before its time. Maybe I think I can do it better than canon can. Maybe canon's left a couple holes open and I think I can fill 'em. Maybe I want to know what other people have done to fill those holes. Maybe it's because there's a whole fucking universe out there waiting for stories. Maybe it's the characters, maybe it's the world, maybe it's the holes. Maybe it's some combination of the three. I don't know. How 'bout you?

(No, this is not some sneaky way of saying I may be writing in a different fandom.)
