The best thing is definitely being able to escape and make anything you want happen.
You know that feeling when you have an argument, and 2 hours later think of all the things you could have said? Well, when you're speaking for your characters, you get to say all those things.
You get to write alternative endings. You can make people fall in love with, or despise characters.
It's all just so much FUN! There are no rules, and it's very rarely you get to say that about a job.
The second best thing is the readers. Not only *my* readers, but just getting to talk to people who LOVE books. Finding like minded people, even if you have different tastes and genres, is really exciting, and no matter what, you always have something in common.
