Writer's Block: Sheldon and Penny 4ever!

Mmm Fanfic.
There are tens of thousands of fanfics online that are complete crap. Bad writing, bad spelling and grammar, awful concepts.
But there are also absolute pearls among them.
I was writing fanfics about 15 years before I even knew that there was a term for it. Fanfic allows you to further explore a world. What would happen if the character was in this situation? What would happen if you put an original character in that world (answer : 90% of the time you'll get a Mary Sue, but I digress).
There are also sinful pleasures, fluffy things, slashfic (honestly, my favourite slash fics have actually had pretty in depth stories behind them, which is why I like them so much, I'm not a fan of PWP).
The two fandoms I read fic of mainly are Batman/Gotham City and Terminator. Batman provides a zillion screwed up characters to play with and the Terminator universe provides endless possibilities, because with time travel, there essentially is no canon.
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
