It's weird to me how much of a double standard there is between supporting a fanartist or supporting a fanficcer. I never see people complaining about buying fanart being illegal as much as they do about buying fanfic... it always feels like they think fanart is harder or more legitimate than fanfic.

I do see fanart as more legitimate/less illegal than fanfic. With fanfic, unless it is a very out there AU (in which case it might as well be original fic) the writer is using someone else's world/rules/characters/sandbox. Whereas a fanfic artist has to basically go from scratch. I don't find a drawn image of, say, Mulder and Scully all that different from an artist drawing two models for their art. And so I have no qualms thinking of that art as original, rather than infringing on someone's intellectual property. I cannot divorce the fanfic from the IP, though, and thus feel it is wrong to profit from it without direct author/creator permission.

How so? (I'm curious, not combative.) I mean, if a fan draws Sailor Moon, that's not "from scratch": they're using the character designs that someone else created.
