also its stupid cuz it doesnt contribute to the main canon. i dunno why people make it. I personally feel that that's the reason people write them. They want to write out a scenario that wasn't dealt with in whatever series they're interested in.
For example, years ago, I wrote a Digimon fic which was an alternate ending to Adventure 02 since Japan hadn't aired episode 45 or higher yet at the time I originally wrote most of it. At the time, I figured that Demon was going to be the main villain, so I had to change some things, like dialogue and such pertaining to Demon. I had the story take place two years after 02 ended (or something, forgot now).
I wrote that story because I was a fan of Demon, and hated how the character didn't get much story, like in the V-Tamers manga, so I wrote that Demon broke away from the dark world to seek out revenge, pretty much continuing where BelialVamdemon left off...sort of.
Another fic I wrote, looking back is just downright terrible for grammar and accuracy (along with the majority of my old fics, imo, which I can't even look over to even fix it), was a Digi-fic focused around Koushirou and his adoption complex. Had to change a couple of "canon" things...like saying he never got over the complex. lol I always liked that aspect of his character, and would've liked it expanded on, so I wrote it. His complex is directly connected to why his character acted the way he did. Overly polite and anti-social, up to a point.
Another example is a story dealing with Legends of Zelda. This person has been writing on that story since about 2001, I think. It's pretty much a dramatization of Ocarina of Time. I loved it since it had more detail. I also liked the fact that Link never seemed to do everything alone, like the games in general (although, for the manga series, this seemed to not be the case; seems he usually shared his adventure with someone).
Fanfics aren't too bad...just depends on what's being written. I haven't read much, but seems that I do have a low tolerance for stories where the characters are completely out of character, unless it's comedy and was done that way on purpose and the author and readers know that prior. I also have a low tolerance for most romance-oriented stuff that's cheesy or "stereotypical" which usually = out of character situations.
