Fic writer here. I don't have a "thing" against fanartists, I just wonder why the rules are so different for them vs. writers. It's not the artists I blame for it, though, it's the people who seem to think that art is more worthy of validation than fanfic.

DA

Same.

For example, while I personally don't agree with making money from any fanwork, taking commissions as an artist is pretty much expected and par for the course, while fanfic writers a) don't get a fraction of the commissions anyway even if they touted them, and b) are judged for it.

How is it acceptable standard, encouraged procedure for fanartists to piggyback other people's creations for money, and not fanwriters? "Oh because the poor artist put so much time and effort into making their piece that they could have spent on something else to make money!" Yeah, well, so could the fanwriter? If anything, it takes longer to craft a decent length story than it does to draw art (several artists I know have actually made that point).

No, of course it's not any one individual artists' fault or responsibility, but there's definitely a huge chasm between the perceived 'value' of fanart vs. fanfic.
