small vent - for all those ppl who complain that fic writers cause more wank than fan artists and fan artists do nothing wrong ever, i have hardly ever since the days of kitty de sade seen any fic writer who claimed they wrote without knowing the canon. and i have seen plenty artists who have done this. i have received more than one art gift across a wide swathe of exchanges where artists have straight up admitted this. some have got away with it pretty well and a couple have drawn the characters way, way ooc or with the wrong hair color or clothing styles etc.

so nobody is innocent and wank-free in exchanges, not writers, not artists, not recips even. we all are wankers in the end.
