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.

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.
