Certainly not all future writers and creators who grew up in this era went on to write fanfiction. Some put those toys away for good. Some of them (albeit a distinct minority) grew up to be Joss Whedon. Much like Rex Stout speculating on the parentage of Lord Peter Wimsey, Whedon has spent some time considering the lineage of his own characters with relation to the culture of our youth: “If you are going to tell me Han Solo isn’t the father of Malcom Reynolds, then I am going to laugh and laugh and laugh…Kirk was also, I would say, Malcom’s weird uncle.”
Could I get a fic for that?

Write it. Shoot it. Publish it. Crochet it, sauté it, whatever. MAKE.

And damnit, this is why I published my book. I’ll never get rich doing it, but it exists in the real world.
Men who are comfortable with powerful women are more powerful men.

Joseph Hill Whedon – June 23rd 1964
Writers are completely out of touch with reality. Writers are crazy people. We create conflict – for a living. We do this all the time, sometimes on a weekly basis. We create horrible, incredible circumstances and then figure a way out of them. That’s what we do.
