And what about fanart?

[(Anonymous)]

The difference between selling fanart and selling fanfiction is not quality, it's physical product. I am against someone "selling" a digital copy of fanart, yes. But I'm sympathetic to fans at conventions selling their art, because it's sort of the idea that it isn't the art itself you are selling, but the materials, printing, etc.

If you wanted to physically print and bind a fanfic and sell it at a convention, I think that is equally acceptable.

Acceptable as in, of course, both are morally gray, probably harmless as long as the fan does it in good faith.

I have extremely mixed feelings on this topic that basically render me without a dog in this fight. But! This:

because it's sort of the idea that it isn't the art itself you are selling, but the materials, printing, etc.

is patently untrue.

If they just wanted buy the materials, ink, and shell out for the cost of printing something, they could've gone to staples, office max, the post office, etc. They're clearly getting something from the fan artist that they can't get within the wide variety of products offered by any semi-decent art supplies store - namely, the fan artist's artistic talent.

And frankly, that's probably the reason that no one complains that, after shelling out so much money, all they got was a single lousy sheet of paper and some ink without even a pen to keep it in! They want what's been arranged on the paper, not the raw materials put into making it.
