I think it's relatively rare for someone to write entirely for fun. Some people's fiction carries an apparently social message, or a political message, or a moral, or a warning about what could happen if X keeps going the way it currently is. Or maybe it's not a warning - maybe it's "do keep going like this, so Y can can result from X, because that would be very, very cool!"
Are you a person who has one typical message embedded in your stories, or is each story different in what you hope the reader will take from it? What do you want the reader to take from it, and how often do you think that happens?
