Real talk though - if you want to see something in a fandom. Do it yourself. Pick up a pencil!

If you want to see something within a fandom. Try it yourself.

Learn a new skill. Learn to write for fun, or draw for pleasure. It will be shit at first, but there is a satisfaction at getting better at something.

Using GenAI to draw fan art or write fan fiction is inherently lazy. Arguing it makes things accessible isn't an argument. Tasks that require skill are allowed to be inherently difficult. How boring would life be if everything did not have some level of challenge?

Life, and the creative arts is mostly about the journey. Not the destination.

Embrace the hardship that comes from learning how to draw faces, or write emotional dialogue.
