respoftwI think probably the first time I received fanart is what sticks in my mind.
I used to write in MCU fandom and, despite most of what I wrote in that period being absolute garbage, they are still my most ‘popular’ fics. I think a lot of that had to do with getting in the door of the Hawkeye/Quicksilver ship the very same day that Age of Ultron released tin cinemas. It was the first time I’ve ever been involved in a new ship that had just come along and I rode that wave hard for (checks AO3) 91 fics over the space of a year.
And someone drew fanart of one of my fics. And I remember how unbelievably happy it made me and how thrilled I was. I had been on the sidelines of fandom for a while and never thought I’d actually be in that position.
I’ve had a few more pieces of art for my fics since then and it never stops being the best thing ever.
Sadly, I’ve lost the link to that first piece of art I ever received due to various hosting sites going down but I will always treasure that memory!
