OP

I'd definitely contact the writers! Once I actually start and think I can manage at least a substantial chunk of the fic, I'd show them a few panels and ask if they mind me finishing it by myself, or if they'd like to collaborate. Or if they'd like to work on a comic for a new story, like you suggested.

If someone wanted to draw a comic of a fic I wrote, I'd probably be flattered and tell them to go ahead with it. The only reasons I wouldn't want them to I can think of now are if I they interpret my fic in a way I didn't intend and insist it's a direct adaptation (I don't mind alternate readings, but I'd mind if after I tell them it's not my interpretation, they don't state so anywhere), if they claim they wrote the story, or if it's a really bad old shame fic. And of course if the artist is someone it's not a good idea to associate with, but that's unlikely.

If a writer told me they don't want me to draw their fic, I might still finish whatever drafts I already have just for practice, but I'd keep them to myself. No big deal. If I wanted to post a drawing originally for the comic modified as a standalone piece, I'd ask them too, in case they think it'll remind people of the fic that they don't want my fanart to be within a 10-mile radius of.
