Because it gives you a chance to practice playing with different structures and styles, as the characters are already pretty developed.

Because fic allows you to have fun with a story that's already structured. You can dip your toes in instead of having to dig, brick, and fill the pool first.

Because fic is an outlet into which you can pour your HATE AT THE WORLD IN GENERAL by hitting a character with a bus, or getting him shot, or getting him pumped full of evil chemicals by a psycho greek woman. (Sorry, Barney)

Because you're just dying to see what would happen if two people had a whole bar's worth of alcohol to themselves and one was a horndog and the second was on a dry spell (Sorry Ted and Barney)

Because fic allows you to develop a personal style of writing which can then be applied to original works.

Because it's fun, dammit!

Because you are bored out of your mind in your AP Psych (insert whatever class you choose) and want to write something other than notes

Because little things that happen provide inspiration that must be acted upon and written out!

Because you make friends globally that never would have happened otherwise. (*tips hat to idioticonion and roland44 and others)

Because... what else are you going to do after watching a season one marathon while sick at home puking? Knit? No. You're going to take that inspiration-lemon and make freaking lemonade.

Because some fic, sorry to say, is just bad. And it's your job as a brilliant writer to kill the lame-writer stereotype by putting out Good Fic. Which there is tons and tons of on LJ. Yay!
