Fanfiction I mostly write because I can't help it. I'll seriously sit down and watch a movie, then think...

I SHOULD MAKE A CHARACTER.
It's like that ALLAH THE TIEM.

And the same kinda goes for original ideas - they just sort of appear in my noggin. Usually though everything - due to the fact that IVE A BAZILLION STORIES - swishes around for a while though.
Take HoaL. It started out as characters for some roleplay with a friend. Then I decided Annabelle - or Jazz, as she became - and Chrissie should have a story, as well as the bizarre Lugia alternate form that I'd dubbed Lucent.

In other words, I write because my brain does not shut up and stop refining.

Pretty much this... I invoke it though, since there's nothing else to do when you're walking or training at the gym. But then I need to keep it in my mind all day 'til I get home where I can write it down...

For the longest time I hated reading and writing because I was so bad at them. Then I got into manga (pictures with captions!) which caused me to start reading all the time. After that I was more interested in the writing assignments I had to do for class because I had a better grasp on language. Then I stumbled upon online communities where writing was the main interaction and well... yeah.

Overall though I really don't like writing outside of school assignments. I don't want to become a best-selling author either. I just want to be able to fully appreciate the works that other people have written and understand the intricacies of their words.

What inspired me to start writing was the desire to actually have the stories in my head down on paper. When I was very young and couldn't write, I would make my parents write my stories for me. XD Since I learned to write, I haven't ever stopped writing stories. It's something I love to do.
