Writing reasons, hmm...
Mostly, I write for fun. Sometimes, when you write, you feel a click in your head when everything just fits and you can type on for however long the muses grant you. It's an addictive feeling but incredibly frustrating when the inspiration pool is all dried up. I write to convey ideas and emotions to my audience, whether that's to my friends or a larger audience, in a form that I can manage and that's accessible to everyone with some form of literacy. Sometimes, ideas demand to be written down, characters in your mind are so compelling that not writing them down is painful. Sometimes, your thoughts are transcribed so articulately from your head to your screen that it fills you with a sense of pride and accomplishment when others can understand what exactly your ideas mean.
I've actually leaned towards satire/parodies in previous stories, because, unfortunately, my sense of humour leaks out in everything I do. On the other hand, I love doing horror too, because it evokes such visceral imaginings from me that really makes me think about what scares us at an instinctive level. Also, my nightmares are oddly lucid and plot-driven for some reason, as are my dreams when I can squeeze stories out of them. They make great writing material.
However, I am relatively new to writing itself and have been out of it for a while. Started when I was 12, wrote on and off during high school and university. Still unsure about what writing medium and style I would like to go in, although I do know I would not write techno-political thrillers or romance. Just not into it all that much.
Edit: My experience with poetry is that I can only write good ones when I am in abject misery. Seeing as how I like to avoid that kind of stuff....well, let's say it's not a viable option.
