As a writer, I have absolutely nothing against artists. It's a huge cliche, but some of my best fandom friends are artists rather than writers.

I do however find it incredibly frustrating that there's such a divide in how writers/artists are treated very differently, and the way art is seen as a superior fandom commodity than fiction. I also think that, as with most climates that benefit one section over another, artists aren't especially going to go out of their way to recognize that such a dichotomy exists. Hence your attitude "that's just kind of how things ended up."

How do fanartists do something about it though? I have to tell you, I don't read fic, it's not one of my interests. I draw fanart because it is one of my interests, and as much as I'd love to help fic writers out, I don't see how I can when it's just not my hobby.

Maybe draw art for a fic whose idea you like? You don't read fic, but are there ANY stories in any of your fandoms you've read and liked? Or any whose premise you've heard? Using your gift to help out a fellow person whose gift you also value might be your way of doing something on a personal level. It's not an obligation, just something you might not have considered.

Alternatively, take part in a fic/art exchange or something, where you draw art to accompany someone else's fic? A friend who's an artist did it for a fic of mine recently (she drew 3 pictures to illustrate parts of the story she found particularly interesting) and I have to say I was super moved and really loved it!
