If it helps, I could write some really bad Eight/Roberts!Master fic to get you rolling. It's the only kind of Eight/Roberts!Master fic I could write, so it would work out happily for all.
I don't know if your final questions are rhetorical or not, but I'm in a mood so I'll answer: I don't know. I write real life non-fiction stuff a great deal and have for many years, some it quite impassioned, but the fanfic is only a "few" years old by comparison, and only in a tiny handful of fandoms at that. I have come to realize, narrow output that I produce, that I write fanfic when (1) something about the canon characters and people's reaction to them piss me off and (2) when somebody else has said something that triggers a thought that I want to build on (I did one Sherlock fic because of astute comments shinodabear was making about Jim Moriarty). Maybe it's the nature of fanfic to arise out of interaction (be that active interaction or passive lurking) between fans expressing their thoughts and opinions regarding the canon characters, storylines, etc. It doesn't flow unless some other fan primes the pump somehow. Just my two cents.
