Eh, I have to say whenever I see someone get patreon for fandom related stuff I lose a little respect for them. These people used to write for fandom because they enjoyed it. Now they are trying to turn something people do for fun into an opportunity to squeeze money out of people. Fandom is the one hobby where you have the option of enjoying stuff for free, but even that is not safe from money grabbing anymore.

Also people using the excuse it's to make ends meet, I don't think you should be depending solely on fandom comissions for a living. Unless you are extremely popular and constantly pumping out content everyday it's no way to make a living.

Just looking at one author in my fandom they charge $3 for 500 words or $10 for 2000 words. Most fandom writers probably don't get THAT many commissions, at least from what I've seen in my fandoms. So is that enough to make a living? At most it's enough for some pocket change.

I can understand if your making fandom related stuff to sell in an online store or at a convention, some people have made really cool things. But as far as fanfic goes... with sites like ao3 or tumblr where people who are amazing writers are constantly taking free requests and BEGGING for prompts, what is the point of paying for it?

No one's going to make a living off it, you dumbshit, but rent is steep and so's food and every little goddamn bit helps when you're working for minimum wage or not earning a living wage.

wah wah waaah I have to make money off of fanfic by stealing other people's ideas without permission (which is both illegal and unethical) or I will die waaah

[(Anonymous)]

wah wah I want freebiessssss

[(Anonymous)]

Well yeah. Because fanfic/art being free is, you know. The only ethical way to do it.

I just think it's hilarious that you think you could actually make enough money off of your crap fanfic to make a dent in any kind of living costs. Even good writers who write and sell original work can make nearly nothing, it's about luck as much as anything.

There's still plenty of fandom that can be enjoyed for free. Complaining because a small handful of people are trying (not always succeeding, either) to make money from it seems rather petty. You will always have the choice of not paying for fanart or fanfiction. If other people want to pay, what's it to you?

nart but I would absolutely judge the asshole who is trying to make money off of it. Why is that petty? Is it petty for judging someone who is peeing in the middle of the sidewalk, just because there are plenty of unpissed sidewalks left?

[(Anonymous)]

If it's a sidewalk that is far away from you and everybody has the freedom to avoid that patch because there are so many other options and you never even have to LOOK at the sidewalk never mind set foot on it, then yes, it's petty. You don't have to like the sidewalk-peeing, but throwing a fuss over something that doesn't touch your life in any way and that can be easily avoided... well, why bother?

It's not a good analogy though, because this isn't a zero sum game. Fandom is huge. 99.999% is free for all to enjoy, and chances are there'll always be more free content than paid content, and again, I stress: YOU DO NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR FANFICTION OR FANART BECAUSE IT IS NOT AN OBLIGATION. If other people choose to do this, it's no skin off your nose and it's silly to pretend otherwise.
