[truxillogical]

The end result may feel the same, but the creation of a published Main Two comic is such a completely different animal. Fic may involve collaboration on occasion, but any give comic issue that goes to press is the result of at least five different people (writer, artist, editor, inker, colorist...letterer, EiC, collab writer, etc etc) working in tandem. Simone's got longer essays about it from the trenches, but while folks can look at it and say, "it's a story created with characters someone else made," the creation of a published comic is something that is completely different from the writing of fic. It's just not the same thing.

Editors and writers really don't get to cherry pick. Writers can pitch, and sometimes they're lucky enough to get offered a dream job, but nine times out of ten, they get handed a character, or a bunch of characters, and told, "Write these," or they request a specific character and are denied. Editors...well, DC's trying to cherry pick now, and that's why they've been running the company into the ground. There's just too much business and politics tied up in the whole thing for it to be comparable to "I have this plot bunny, it's gonna be great!"
