Just because it's not immediate, doesn't mean fanfiction can't be commissioned. Fanart gets the advantage because it is a visual medium, but I can say without a doubt that I find more enjoyment in re-reading fanfiction than I do looking at the same piece of fanart hanging on my wall.

If I could, I would be much more willing to commission writers on a base $10/1k work basis very similar to how artists would charge per hour. The only trouble is that it'll feel wrong to commission a writer that isn't actually part of the fandom/fan of the pairing. Unlike art which is just a matter of giving them a snap shot description, writing goes into the history and interaction of the characters. And imho, investigating and researching for a story is different from knowing it and loving the characters/series enough to write with passion.
