#fanfic and fan artists

[theoriginalladya]

Yesterday I reblogged a post about the positive impact of fanart on a writer and, by association, other writers and, presumably, other fanartists. I have been fortunate enough to have this happen to me once, and I thought maybe starting off 2024 by sharing it might spread some positivity in the fandom writing/arting community.

It's been a while - I finished Slow Fire Burn almost four years ago (wow! It's really been that long???) - but I love this picture and I still pull it out often to look at, especially when I'm in a tough place writing-wise.

The picture by the lovely renegone is of Maleea Shepard and Kaidan Alenko sitting on the porch swing at her home on Mindoir with Chief (the varren) and LT (German Shepherd) lying beneath it.

I cannot put into words how shocked and amazed I was at the time (and still am, every time I look at it!), because it takes such a simple scene and really brings it to life for me.

Anyway, that's my story. Huge thanks to all the artists who give so generously of their time and talents to writers! I won't speak for everyone, but I know for myself, it really inspires me to keep on going, even when it gets hard to write.

Side note: Slow Fire Burn ended up having a long break in the middle because I did hit a wall with it, but this picture did help me eventually come back to it and finish. :)

They then spent the rest of the night talking about Hot Wheels modifications and the flavor Blue Raspberry. Until Tails fell asleep by accident and Sonic had to carry him to bed.

unpopular opinion but no fan artist or fan writer should have to "apologise" for their absence or "delay" in updates; and nobody should ask them for explanations if they simply stop publishing their content one random morning. for whatever reason

I don’t think we as artists — be it painters, illustrators, drawers, writers, poets, photographers, song writers, singers, etc — realize how immortal our art is. not to sound cringe, but like… your art lives forever, or at least the art you put into this world will most likely live for a very long time after you die. I logged into my old writing platform account that I haven’t used in years today and found out people still read and comment on my old works.

there’s something beautiful about the thoughts of the art you created and put into this world being people’s source of comfort and/or inspiration even after you die.

there’s something very poetic about people enjoying and appreciating a piece of art, even if the artist is no longer around.

Today is a wonderful day to remember that resting, taking care of yourself, and allowing yourself to become re-inspired and re-invigorated, is a vital and necessary part of the creative process!

Do folks who are someone’s favorite fic writer, fan artist, etc. know it? Are they aware that their work has made a genuine impact on the lives of other human beings walking the planet? That there are real flesh-and-blood people who have been touched and affected by what they’ve made, and that they are thought of and discussed frequently with affection and gratitude and awe?

I hope they know. They deserve to know.

“omg I didn’t know this artist was a pro shipper. this is so disappointing. I was a fan of their works. what a wasted talent😭” babe, why would you think people who are talented enough to make all these beautiful art - or write all these beautiful fics - are not smart enough to differentiate and separate fiction from reality?😭
