That's simply not true. Fanart and fanfiction both have amazing stuff at the top of the pile, and a whole lot of crap underneath it. It's absurd to suggest that the ratio is somehow better for fanart.

[(Anonymous)]

It's way better for fanart that it's not even a competition. I know there's that 99/1 rule for fanfic, but oh my god, not even remotely.

Don't get me wrong. Not all fanart is good, not by a long stretch. But there are so many more fantastic artists than there are writers. But generally the people that continuously read fanfiction eventually develop a sort of goggles for fanfic that makes them more accepting of the general shitty quality.

No.

Or, you know, the people that have a weirdo hate boner for fic like you seem to do develop some sort of googles that only see the shitty fic and not all the good to great fic posted out there.

[(Anonymous)]

Oh I don't hate fic. But I really can't get past the godawful writing found in even the supposed best fics of fandom. I love finding great fanfic, but it is so so SO much more rare than great fanart.

Like I said, you have to acquire a taste for fic, which basically means you have to look past how shitty the writing can be.

[(Anonymous)]

Agreed. For every gem I find fic-wise, there are at least 20 garbage fics I have to sort through to get to it.

With fanart, if I go to DeviantArt or Pixiv and search for my fandom, I get dozens of lovely pictures right on the first few pages. There's more good fanart for it than there is bad.

Or you're just easier to please with art.

Most people are...and it is really hard to compare the mediums as they are so different from each other.

In my fandom (which is huge) there are about six artists that I can actually enjoy. That I personally see as great. There are tons of artists that I can tell are good at what they do, but I don't personally like their art. It's not my style. Writers on the other hand there are twice as many that I enjoy everything they've ever written. That I see as great. There are still others I can tell are good writers, but they aren't great in my mind.

That doesn't mean the 99/1 that applies for everything in the world doesn't apply for writing in my fandom. It doesn't mean that our writing is better than our fanart. It means that I'm pickier about art.

Considering that a lot of the professional artists these days start out in the fanart community (and stay in it while professional), but most of the professional writers, especially writers for franchises, do not (or if they once were, they have to cut themselves off once going pro), I'd say that's kind of fair.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm not sure how true this is. I mean maybe they are telling the truth about this, but there are still a lot of professional writers still in fandom. They just keep their identities quiet. But I can understand that if you get big you wouldn't want your fans trying to hunt down your fan fiction. It's your personal life.
