Two benefits of fanfic that immediately spring to mind:

1.  It enables the characters to be well developed in a way that only
long familiarity allows.  100 or so episodes of Buffy, Willow and Xander
allows us to know them more intimately than some original character
who's newly created. 

2.  It gives the reader the pleasure of stories that s/he always wanted
to see, but was denied because of the constraints of television.
Whether it's Angel spending years in Quor'toth rescuing Connor, or Buffy
and Willow pledging eternal love as they smooch beneath the mistletoe,
fanfic allows us to enlarge and enrich a dramatic universe we enjoy.

Yeah, it's not as purely creative as being the guy who first put "I'm
up, Mom!" in Buffy's mouth, but so what?  It's free and it's fun.  And
did I mention the B/W smooches?
