Because whatever is happening in my mind has to end up on paper/screen somehow. I don't know of another way of expressing my imagination! I love doing it, it makes me feel good, so why not?
"Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind." - Dr. Seuss
I chose other because I write to relieve stress and anger. Honestly, if not for writing, I would probably hurt someone. Not intentionally, of course, but still.

Chuck Norris- worshiping gnomes, undead pandas, pet chupacabras and undead Keanu Reeves-what could possibly go wrong?
I write when I actually want to write. When I'm bored or when I'm extremely depressed or a really important message I learned from my life hits me, I write.
I never write for fun. I can't. It'll ruin all my writing that I've did till now. Funny. XPP
I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living.
Write as expression, as an art. Just a way of archiving turbulent thoughts or some creative spurts of inspiration. It is fun and enjoyable to do so, and I've done it enough to feel like I'm decent. In these ways, I write for myself.
Now, if something I can create also evokes inspiration in others - or even just simple conversation, then it's so much more gratifying and meaningful to me, in the way that human beings in general seem to intrinsically seek for acceptance/acknowledgement, so it is so. That my ideas - my consiousness - the things in my head that make me ME can affect someone else... and that I can share this. This is the ultimate validation for me. So in this way, I write for others.
I write for the fun of it. It's what I love. I write to liberate the burdens and to express my emotions, since I can't show them in real life because it always comes out wrong. And I write for the people, so they can feel that they're not the only one's out there dealing with the complications life sometimes bring. That is why I write.
"I believe in everything until it's disproved. So I believe in fairies, the myths, dragons. It all exists, even if it's in your mind. Who's to say that dreams and nightmares aren't as real as the here and now?" - John Lennon
I write because I want to-. I write because it is my safe place where I can be vulnerable and still be safe. I write to entertain others. I write because I can express my self. I write because I love to.
