Well, exactly. Glad you put on words what many of us feel everyday when confronted with sayings like "You should stop drawing that; it's not worth it in artistic measures." Excuse me?? As if giving a bit of yourself to your drawing was the same as drawing (copy, from some original picture) bugs bunny and stick it on the frige. It pains me when people don't understand that fanart is a form of art as enjoyable and as equall as any other. Afterall we're taking known characters just to portray them in some way; isn't that a bit like paiting a biblical scene? I think so. This may be a somewhat orz topic since it's religion but, in my eyes, churches are full of fanart, for pete's sake. This may result as a wild idea, but... fanart museums in the future? Wouldn't that be fun? It's not impossible at all you know.
(btw I'm very honored you linked to my bambi picture here :) )
