part of my plan for this one longfic I'm working on for the popular pairing in the popular fandom is to commission a popular artist
GOOD LUCK FRIEND!!
I love seeing this sort of thing. I've gotten a bit of pushback in my own circles of fandom, like seeing myself talked about on discord servers and during livestreams as "someone who's just showing off" or "someone who will do anything for attention," but like. It's so much fun to work with artists on a collaborative project, and it's so cool to learn about other people's work through fanfic illustrations. I really wish more fanfic authors were comfortable working with artists to illustrate their stories, because I think it would be wonderful for this sort of collaboration to be normalized in fandom.
