Someone important to me believes that I am cheating myself by writing fic, that I should concentrate on original stories, and while I don't agree with her entirely I can see her point. I hate disappointing her.
I have a good friend who tells me the same thing. She wants me to write original stuff, publish it and make money.
From someone who barely writes original, that thought is quite scary.
I think it is the near-instant feedback; within a few hours we get pats on the back and grins and gushes and we feel good.
