You and me both. No one would ever imagine I write it. I try to keep secret in the manner of hell would freeze over if I ever considered writing fanfiction. My family would be like "What is wrong with this child."
--------------------
And yet I am, and live—like vapours tossed. I long for scenes where man hath never trod A place where woman never smiled or wept There to abide with my Creator, God, And sleep as I in childhood sweetly slept, Untroubling and untroubled where I lie The grass below—above the vaulted sky.”

Like, mothers, fathers, sons and daughters by day, creators of wonderful worlds at night?

My family would be like "What is wrong with this child." Exactly the same here; the stuff I let my family read is the much 'safer' original fiction that I've written, which is generally of a much lighter and less serious tone than the fanfiction I've written. Not that I'm saying I haven't written serious original fiction, as I certainly have, but that stuff is stuff I don't show my family. Most of it would be dismissed with their usual close-minded handwave of 'it's wierd' which seems to happen to anything that dares take a larger step outside reality than Margaret bloody Atwood.

Then again nowadays I get the feeling that I should be channelling my creative energies into stuff that I can actually publish.

Not convinced the two have to be mutually exclusive - with two different outcomes. Writing can be lonely, something which takes you a year to write and edit can make you feel lonelier still, especially with no feedback or encouragement. That's why so many people join writer's groups, so they don't feel like they're doing it on their own. With fanfic, which by it's nature is episodic, you get a kind of instant gratification. You get the feeling of accomplishment when you post, people read and give feedback almost instantly - it gives you motivation to continue and a warm gooey feeling inside... that you don't get from other writing. It's like joining a writers group you go along to each week, except it's all online - like Critters but much, much friendlier. So, why not do both? Your original fiction is going to take a long time to write. You want to get published, so you'll spend those months and months writing it. Your fanfic, and this community, is there for you in those moments when you need that encouragement and gratification ( or when you're so fed up with editing your original work for the 12th time you want to scream...)
