Nonsense. I already have a job which I am good at, pays reasonably well, and which I anticipate doing for the rest of my working life.

Fanfiction is a hobby. Very few writers can earn what I earn. I have bills to pay.

This. There's also the fact that I wouldn't trust myself to write for a sole living. I get periodic bouts of writers block, and I don't want to depend on something I know is erratic in order to earn what I need to live. I'd much rather do something I know I can do consistently in order to earn money, and then have my writing as something I enjoy doing when I can and which I can get an immediate sense of satisfaction/feedback from.

I mean, I write the odd original story too, and I even send them off once in a while. I actually sold a story once. But those are just bonuses when something came out particularly well and managed to survive an editing process. Like hell I want to be depending on that.

Writing is a hobby, in short. It's nice that occasionally I can produce something genuinely good with it, at least as far as reviews and that one successful sale goes, but talent unfortunately does not a career make. And sometimes you don't even want it to.

This. I wrote fanfiction to distract me when I was stressed while earning a degree in chemical engineering. Now I write fanfiction to distract me when I'm stressed by my job. Literally nothing my hobby produces would earn me that steady and respectable paycheck, and that's fine. Money isn't my motive in writing.
