I fell asleep in class :D and now to elaborate... I think everyone enjoys fanart to a certain extent. Even if it's not anime (which kind of warrants its own argument entirely), books for example... not everyone pictures the same exact person given a description, so why not make art of it? All the same, not everyone perceives a character in the same light so... why not make art of it? I think what puts people off (and this pertains to anime especially...) is bad art/badfic and while it IS hard to find something that pleases everybody.. one shouldn't cast fanart aside as all being total crap. Finally, fanart is sometimes just more fun and easy to appreciate. No background needed (aside from what you already know), nothing to really THINK about (unless that's what you want), I can just sit there, practically brain-dead and mutter "prettyyyyy" or something to that extent...
