I admit I write for fun and the thrill of maybe, maybe getting some kudos on AO3, that whole lame cheezy thing about making people happy, creating emotions, just through...words. It's like magic to me.

And just for the record, uh, I've had to buy tons of stuff for writing: starting with this laptop? My wifi? All these books on the writing craft? All those notebooks I've filled over the years with character sketches, mood pieces, story ideas. I'm not saying MORE than an artist but I have invested plenty of time and money into my 'craft'.

I don't blame artists for cashing in, honestly, why not? I sure would if I could. But I do sideeye the attitude they get about things like signups for bigbangs, where they seem APPALLED at the very idea that just once, just for a fun fandom exchange challenge that's entirely voluntary, they should do something without getting paid. I know at least two actually published professional writers in my fandom who still write fic 'for free'.

The other issue I have (wow I did not know I had so many feels) is how canon artists etc will often squee and support fan artists, but canon writers cannot ever even acknowledge fanfiction exists. It makes it seem that fic is somehow...dirty.
