What makes something fun?  Firstly, what is fun?  I would say fun is characterized by several different neurotransmitters released in unison like dopamine and serotonin.  But fun is only a symptom that you are doing something beneficial.  Like anything, fun can be "cracked" and you can have fun doing non-worthwile things.  But in general fun is a feeling designed to tell you that you are doing something very right.

Here is my definition of fun:

Fun is anything that is...

progressive
inspirational
sharing/caring
broad/expansive
applicable/relevant
challenging/unconventional
functional/working
understandable
rewarding
teaching/instructive
empowering
inexpensive
unconstrained/deadlineless
hopeful
confident
preparatory/prophetic

Fun is progressing.  Fun is inspiring.  Fun is helping and sharing experiences.  Fun is often solitary and expansive and covers a variety of fields and topics; perhaps it uses synergy and synthesis from a variety of sources.  Fun is relevant and applicable to everyday life and our other endeavors.  Fun is challenge, but not that things are broken, challenging in an understandable, confident and hopeful way.  Fun is rewarding.  Fun is learning.  Fun empowers us in a physical, mental, or spiritual way.  Fun is free.  Fun has no constraints.  Fun prepares you for the future.

That is the definition of fun.  Now go out and create fun stuff.
