Were you selling that art? Was it professional (or fan-professional) quality?

Paper (bristol/watercolor)
Pens (expensive) and/or
Brush (more expensive)
Ink
Editing Program and/or
-markers
-paint
-colored pencils
PLUS computer


Hell, why did you need a laptop for your fic? If you wrote a dissertation on school computers, why did you need a laptop for the hobby? What's wrong with a paper and pen, right? Or the school computer again.


Eh, the materials argument is a stupid one anyway.

Because my dissertation took roughly 200 hours to type (with another 400 hours or so on research that didn't need a computer). I could book that time easily over a period of months.

I've spent tens of thousands of hours so far writing fanfic. That amount of time is impossible to book on a school computer, and rightly so.

Yes, I could write fic with paper and pen, and I do. But I'd have to re-type the fics to get them online anyway. So it's rather pointless.

I didn't sell my fanart. It was for fun.

I sold my original art often. It was a necessary income stream during college. I mostly used acrylics on canvas, but I also made jewellery, pottery, clay sculpture portraits - anything that sold.

I didn't use a computer to make any of my art. I tried it a few times and went back to traditional media. So your 'PLUS computer' tag at the end of your art materials list is entirely unnecessary.

Oh, I'm sorry, PLUS computer apparently renders the cost of the materials, canvas, paints, clay, jewelry, yarn, etc of a craft or original work moot, I guess.

You still need a computer to participate in the art world ninety percent of the time. You build a customer base, you make an etsy shop, you post pictures of your work, you apply for space at shows, etc etc etc.

I don't know why you're being such a martyr about having to buy you laptop for fanfic. It kind of makes me raise an eyebrow because that's an awful lot of money to drop just for a hobby if it's such a big deal to you. Especially because, hell, you don't need a computer to write. You can write in a notebook. You only need one if you want to...oh, yeah, participate in the online world.

Dude, she's just saying that for her writing fanfic was a more expensive hobby than creating art, because she could access computers for free to cover all her art needs, but the free availability of computers couldn't cover her writing needs.

You can't argue with someone else that no really they totally spent more money on one thing than the other! It's they're goddamn money, they spent it, they know better than you how it was allotted.
