To be fair, good artists actually do a lot of the same things you're talking about. Even if a character design is there for me to see, I rarely do straight up copies in my fanwork so I'm often completely redesigning a character to fit "my style" and in that redesign I'm also doing a lot of research on the world and the personality of the character. I can't tell you how many times I've ditched a drawing because it didn't "fit" the character.

Maybe not every artist does this but it was hammered into me in art school to know my subject and do my research (to the point that sometimes I spend way too much time looking up things when I should be drawing.) I mean you can churn out quick studies pretty fast, but fanfic writers can do the same as I've seen many do quick prompts before.
