Probably because an original story has better chance of being sold than a drawing of two(or one or more) random characters, not matter how well drawn they are?

SA

Just wanted to clarify that what I mean is that stories can be considered as a stand alone (which give them a chance of being sold), while a poster/phone case/etc. (which is how fanarts is usually sold, afaik) would have to be VERY eye catching for someone to consider buying it.
Otherwise most people would say "yeah, that's nice" and move on to search something with their favorite character/something they like more.

It's not that easy to sell original writing. Ask any struggling writers how many rejections they've received, how hard it is to find an agent who'll even look at your manuscript and how difficult it is to make decent sales even if you're published.

No one said it was easy, but compared to the chances of selling random original illustrations, a writer may have a better chance on getting someone interested on their original story.
Hell, someone drawing comics has a better chance of selling their original comics, illustrations and other stuff using their art than someone who draws random original characters.

And the point of all this is that most "fanartist" only draw illustrations and that makes pretty obvious why they would have a harder time selling their original stuff than someone creating more than that.
