or, perhaps, different people are paying for what they hope to see, or are paying for the excitement of seeing what happens next, at all?

it's your choice to feel justified in stealing the talents of an artisan, or course. rather, if they choose to give their skills away for free, then I suppose it wouldn't really be considered stealing. but why is it so wrong for an artist to choose to not give their skills away for free? if the market will not bear it, then the market will not bear it. clearly, however, the original anon is frustrated that the market is bearing it.

and I still have not been adequately swayed as to why it is fair to expect free work from one classification of artists, and yet, not another.

The market if a fucking idiot, is my point. Out of all the good, free fic out there they choose to indulge the one dude who decides to charge them?
That's why I'm saying they're wasting money.

I never said one type of artist shouldn't charge money and the other can. But most fanartists don't charge people to see their personal fanart pieces; they charge for commissions or prints of a piece they posted on the internet for free-- as such, the customer gets a product tailored to their tastes, or a physical copy that they can display somewhere. The artist equivalent of what this specific author is doing is if an artist charged people just for looking at their fanart blog, while a thousand other artists aren't charging for it.

I concede the point to you, anon. also do I concede that the market is foolish. and yet, people still spend their hard-earned money on movie tickets, rather than simply waiting for the movie to be released on DVD or blu-ray when they can, for the same cost in most cases as attending the movie, have a hard copy.

perhaps it is the experience, then, that they are paying for?

Previous anon is incorrect if this is all about the author I think it is. The author does accept commissions for her WIPs, but she also takes completely open commissions too, and in the case of the one WIP, since it's a series of scenes sort of 'in the life of' and pretty random and just for fun, the commissioner CAN and DOES say what they would like to see happen and thus, it does.
