You know, I've always compared fanfiction to street art myself. I once heard a radio program interviewing a guy who did a documentary on street art, who had himself interviewed a lot of street artists. Like fanfiction, most street art is anonymous or pseudoanonymous, and shared publicly. It's a gift that's dubiously legal, that the creator does not benefit from in any way, except possibly being appreciated for their effort. It's a way that poor, creative people, who don't have a platform of their own, can borrow someone else's property for a bit to express themselves and be heard. Like fanfiction, street art goes directly from the artist to the audience, without any process of screening, editing, or rejection/approval. Masterpieces can be found next to talentless scribbles. There's no quality control, but that also means that it's truly egalitarian, that anyone can participate, instead of having to apply and hope someone with the power to promote you likes your work.

And the world of published fiction is certainly as full of itself as gallery art.
