Nothing but Words

I suppose this is where I explain what brought me here, right? I'm supposed to explain how I came to become a FanFic writer and what my favorite kind of FanFic is and how I came to like that certain FanFic, correct? I've always wondered why writers and authors sometimes take the time to create a biography to attempt to explain what led them to this particular path. I guess that opinion extends to more than just writers and authors because the fact is I've always had a big problem with that particular question that is always asked in some form or another.

"Why exactly do you do what you do?"

That is a question that is so often asked and yet has never been truly answered because it is impossible to answer honestly. Some people who are taking the time to read this are probably thinking "Who does this guy think he is, trying to be all 'deep and insightful'?" The fact is that no one has been able to answer that question honestly because it is impossible to make the listeners understand. When soldiers are asked why they choose to go to war they usually give some vague answer that it's the right thing to do. Same goes with police, firefighters, medics, doctors, nurses, random people who willingly run into the burning house to try to save somebody. Athletes and actors and actresses and singers can never truly get their fans to understand the feelings and emotions behind their choice to do what they do.

Even a newbie FanFic writer like myself, who wont get attention from the media and may not even gain any followers, cant explain why it is I chose to do this and if you truly think about it you will understand what I mean when I say that it is impossible to convey the feelings and emotions behind your choice to do this. Because in the end the answer to that pivotal question is not groundbreaking or astounding or any other adjective you can insert here. In the end, whether you read them or hear them, in the end its Nothing but Words.
