Discussion Why do you read fanfiction?

For bl parings ofc

 

To scratch that itch that is left wanting

 

Because my CP is not cannon

 

Tbh im not the type of person to read books especially English books since its not my first language.. but somehow I stumble upon manhwa and then dicovered that some manha I loved is originally a novel that prompted me to read novels and it went on hehe

 

It's pretty generic. I like to see the characters and the story got reshaped with different tropes. My favorites are role reversal, time travel, gender bending, for want of a nail.
Or see them live in alternate universes. And canon divergences, what if A made a different decision? What if X event never happen, etc.
I want to see them live in different stories and different scenarios.

And mostly because I got addicted lol
It's a form of entertainment, I like crackfic the best, it's entertaining.
Reading new series can be a chore sometimes, getting myself to know the characters and the stories. It requires some brainpower that I couldn't care to extend most of the time. But with fanfiction, I already know them, their relation to each other, I only need to get myself immersed to the new plot.

Also, you know that elating feeling you get when you recognize a reference? That too.
