False. This hobby is not only fun but incredibly helpful to me as a writer, both for fan-fic and original fiction.
Not only has it helped me get ideas for plots but it also helps me when I'm writing action scenes. I need to consider different variables: how would a fight between Character A and Character B go? What circumstances are involved? How can I make a character's skills and tactics be consistent while still keeping the fights from being repetitive? How can I come up with a logical and sensible way for a "lesser" foe to beat a "better" one?
It's the same reason I love Jensaarai1 and his peers. Their Vs. videos give me inspiration and are helpful in working out how certain characters would fight.
