Would you say the same thing to the many fanartists who charge for commissions? Why is it OK for this to be normal for fanartists, but vile and evil for fan writers?

[(Anonymous)]

This whataboutism is fucking annoying.
1) Artists do not have archive. So it's on them to decide if they want to risk being sued or not. Usually they slip through the cracks because no one bothers.
2) Disney for example is known for suing or C&D-ing artists
3) Writters can take commissions on their own pages or tumblrs or patreons or whatever. It's not considered evil by majority

All of this. I'd also add that fanartists trying to make money from comissions have degraded the environment for free artists and everyone who hung around to look without spending money. Many sites where fanartists used to go to have fun, learn from each other, and enthuse about art have come to feel like workplaces.

Ironically, the sites where people don't hesitate to upload art that someone is trying to sell elsewhere have more of the old-internet vibe. No one has anything to guard or keep away from the community, and that seems to make a difference.

Yeah, I am not keen on artists making money from fanart.

Tbf I don't miss the internet of old that much because I come from a country with a really toxic artist community. It's always been Serious Business for us.

Oh, I'm sorry. That sounds awful.

There are several things that make commissions different, to begin with. The buyer is paying the artist for the time and effort that they are spending to create a piece that's exactly to the buyer's specifications. Additionally, a commission is meant for the buyer's private enjoyment and most artists won't even post commissioned work on their webpage without the buyer's express permission, because the art is meant for the buyer and the buyer alone.

That's not at all the same as artists who draw something and then print off 100 prints of the image and sell those.

Also a good point.
