What is fan fiction writing?
Fan fiction is what literature might look like if it were reinvented from scratch after a nuclear apocalypse by a band of brilliant pop-culture junkies trapped in a sealed bunker. They don't do it for money. That's not what it's about. The writers write it and put it up online just for the satisfaction. They're fans, but they're not silent, couch-bound consumers of media. The culture talks to them, and they talk back to the culture in its own language.

To Recap and Review the Introduction.
"People say I make strange choices, but they're not strange for me. My sickness is that I'm fascinated by human behavior, by what's underneath the surface, by the worlds inside people."

Would you Become a Vampire, if given the Opportunity?
- Tamela Quijas
"Vampires have always intrigued me. There was just something about those mysterious creatures of the night. Unlike werewolves who hunted in the full moon, ripping their victims to shreds (Ouch), or Zombies (Shudder… I hate zombies) who stalked you for your brains and ate the flesh away from your bones, vampires would lull you into a stupor, mesmerizing you with their gorgeous eyes. Sometimes, for the lucky ones, they made you, like them.
I think that last bit is the most interesting part. Becoming a vampire and being granted immortality would be pretty cool. Never to have to worry about sickness and death. To live and experience the world as it changes and grows."

“Nevertheless,
the potential and actual importance of fantastic literature lies in
such psychic links: what appears to be the result of an overweening
imagination, boldly and arbitrarily defying the laws of time, space and
ordered causality, is closely connected with, and structured by, the
categories of the subconscious, the inner impulses of man's nature. At
first glance the scope of fantastic literature,
free as it is from the restrictions of natural law, appears to be
unlimited. A closer look, however, will show that a few dominant themes
and motifs constantly recur: deals with the Devil; returns from the
grave for revenge or atonement; invisible creatures; vampires;
werewolves; golems; animated puppets or automatons; witchcraft and
sorcery; human organs operating as separate entities, and so on.
Fantastic literature is a kind of fiction that always leads us back to
ourselves, however exotic the presentation; and the objects and events,
however bizarre they seem, are simply externalizations of inner psychic
states. This may often be mere mummery, but on occasion it seems to
touch the heart in its inmost depths and become great literature.”
-Franz Rottensteiner, The Fantasy Book: An Illustrated History From Dracula To Tolkien
