I once bought a couple of pieces of fanart (two, at the same time, from the same person). I did not get it immediately, in fact it took her around four months to make, and two or three months for me to pay off before she mailed them.

I do not resent paying for them, because they were well-crafted items. But immediate? No fragging way!

[pts]

I don't agree with the previous commenter, but I think they mean the experience of looking at a piece of fanart is immediate -- it is what it is, it looks like what it looks like, and whether or not it's technically well-executed is trivial to determine with some amount of objectivity.

Obviously there's latitude for personal taste, but broadly speaking, it's immediately obvious whether a fanartist is "good" or not.

You have to spend some time on a piece of fanfic to know whether the author's any good, and time as well to tell whether or not they're telling a story that you are going to find personally rewarding to read. It's a much greater time investment than looking at a piece of fanart.

You mean like buying a book?

This is so weird. Has anyone ever had a conversation like this about non fandom art and writing? Are books somehow not really worth the money everyone has been paying for them because art is faster to consume. The real world suggests otherwise.
