Honestly, fic writers will never get the credit/praise/acclaim they deserve. Any number of white guy action novelists can get their knobs sucked for shitting out a vapid formulaic airplane read, and a fic writer can spend months or years crafting something that's profound and surprising and talented, and get a fraction of the love.

I think a lot of it is a misogyny thing, honestly. Fanfiction is something girls do, so it must be frivolous and silly and not Serious Art. Fic is almost always by and for women and girls (and I say this as a male ficwriter, lol) and the art women and girls are into is ALWAYS devalued and ridiculed. Think "chick flicks" and "mommy porn" vs the mountain of limp, half-assed action movies out there.
