IDGI either. But some people have this really strong feeling that writers should be writing for the love of the craft and that any sign of wanting or enjoying positive feedback is a betrayal of your art. It's a really pretentious way of thinking so I don't know why it's so pervasive.

Then there are the people who think every writer should be grateful for the slightest crumb because they're ecstatic to get a single kudos. That's a different type of irrationality with a bit of selfishness mixed in.

Yes, this. And I think the fanartist conversation just spun off from those conversations. Lots of arguments about entitled authors, and then some people started bringing up the "but why is it acceptable when fanartists do this?"

As someone else mentioned upthread, I don't think it's a fanfic vs fanart issue. I think it's frustration at the inconsistent fandom attitudes towards both activities.
