I think fanfic might be a natural consequence of reading or viewing in some susceptible readers/viewers. I certainly started to write fanfic as a kid without any idea that anyone else did it, or even that there was an 'it' for anyone else to do.
'Me too' (B7 in my case).
(Tolkien mainly in my case.)
And even my jaded little eyes shot wide open on learning of Tolkien slash recently. I gather 'The Silmarillion' is the preferred setting, since it is darker and you can get more bondage into the stories.
