If I use fanart in my icons, I'd rather the artist get the credit for their hard work than I for making an icon out of it. I know I'd go batshit insane if someone made an icon of my (atrocious) art and demand credit for their hard work on the icon and not mention the hard work I did for my art.

I never understood RPS either. People had in the past tried to get me into J-Rock slash, but I never got into J-Rock or J-Rock slash (thank the dark gods for small miracles). I dunno why, but I just find RPS creepy too. Hmm.
