I'll echo the others that say the first part of your secret isn't narcissistic. You love your characters. That's natural and normal, so have at it!

I think part of why you might not understand why people make fanworks is the phrase: "..about characters that are someone else's property." My favorite characters are not slaves. They are not property. Yes, they original came to some writer/screenwriter/artist/creative person first, but that does not necessarily mean they are chained to their original creator. The way I feel, after a particular creator feels they've told a character's entire story, what's to stop the character from hopping into someone else's head and inspiring them to write fix-it fic? Or a continuation?

Heck, my current main fandom, the two leads NEVER kiss in original canon. NEVER! What characters would be happy with that? So, in my hands, they live very happy lives kissing and other things that they never got to do because the original creator is uncomfortable with things like that (said by the creator herself in an interview).

I don't see characters as an extension of the creator. I see "creators" as mere vessels for the creative forces that eventually become a work. Heck, I feel the same way with my own OCs. If they want to go hopping into other peoples' heads, so be it. Hope they have fun!
