I know fanfiction is pretty controversial, even among geeks, but I personally love it. Well, the good stuff anyway, which can admittedly be pretty hard to find if you don't know where to look!
I write fanfic only occasionally, but I read quite a lot. I don't really like original short stories that much - either I don't have enough time to get attached to the characters or I do get attached and then it's over way too soon - so fanfiction is a useful way to shortcut the reading process when I don't have time to sit down for a full length novel. I'm already attached to the characters and I know there's always more where that came from!
