I've never wanted to write in another fandom, except for Harry Potter. I gave that a shot ten years ago, when I started a Marauders story that only got to Chapter 3, and now I'm writing a BSB/HP crossover. But I could never get into reading HP fanfic and don't see myself writing it regularly.
The only other fandom I could see myself ever writing fanfic for is ER. I've never read any, though I know they're out there. I love the characters and content of the show, and there would be a lot of storylines to explore, but again, I don't really see myself actually writing that. I do have an idea for an ER/BSB crossover, though!

I don't have enough experience writing the other type of fanfic to know, but I can see how this would be true. A real person has so many more layers and dimensions than even the best of fictional characters, and while that may give you more freedom to take them in different directions, it's also more of a challenge to capture their personality and put it on paper. Like you said, with a fictional character, it's pretty much already laid out for you, and you can take it and run with it.

If We Were a Movie by Honey. It's definitely not my normal type of story LOL. But I knew Kelly was a great writer and I couldn't find anything to read, so I tried it. It's one of my favorite stories now. (See, I don't completely hate romance, I'm just incredibly picky! :P)

That was a cute story! Kelly's a great example of an author who loves fluffy romance, but knows how to give it a hook that will make it unique. Her characters always have some quirk that makes their love story interesting, whether it's that they're obsessed with movies, have super powers, or have the ill-fitting name of Cinderella because of their white trash parents. When I read romance, I need a little something else to get me interested.

I love Kelly's stories, I've even got her two OF books on my Kindle app :)
