The fic I wrote for Sherlockmas, around 8500 words, took 20 hours. That was really fast for me. Anything that requires research, like case fic, takes much longer.

Originally, artists charged for fanart to cover the costs of their materials - it wasn't about fic taking longer than art.

When I did fanart I didn't have to buy any extra materials as I already was an art student and I used what I had. I used other people's scanners/computers to get the fanart on the net. Scanning/uploading only took 20 minutes or so.

When I changed to fanfic I had to buy a computer, get an internet connection. There's no way I could book the hundreds of hours plus I needed to write fanfic on the school's computers.

So shouldn't fanficcers like me, by that argument, have been the ones to charge money?

That claim never made much sense.

That's not a very logically sound argument, though. I write fic on my ipod, which was a gift, and I draw fanart on my sister's hand-me-down tablet and laptop, so by that same logic, no one should be charging for either because it's all free.

[(Anonymous)]

Exactly. My point is that it's a weak argument to start with.

Fanartists charge for their commissions because they can, pure and simple. There's no logic involved. Or else the same standards would apply to all fanworks that involved expense.
