It makes sense when you think about it, though. Fanart is something that can be enjoyed by anyone regardless of whether or not they know the canon in question - it only takes a brief moment to look at a picture and think "Wow, that's really pretty." You don't even have to know the characters to be able to appreciate the art style or composition.

Fic, on the other hand, requires a higher degree of investment both time-wise and in the canon itself. People tend not to read fics for canons they don't know, whereas I know multiple people who have gotten into things because they saw fanart for something and it intrigued them enough to want to check it out.

Except that applying some arbitrary value to the amount of investment - as in "artists can do things/behave in ways writers can't" - doesn't make sense, at all.

It takes less effort to reblog a fanart than it takes to reblog a fic, does that mean that the reblog for the art should count as more or less than the fic? Because right now, they count for much more.

sa

^ assuming of course that you're reblogging the fic because you've actually read it and want to share because you enjoyed it.

... I literally don't even understand what you're trying to say in this comment. A reblog is a reblog. It takes exactly the same amount of effort to reblog fanart as it does to reblog a fic. Hit one button and bam, you're done.

then I guess you didn't read the second part of my comment clarifying.
