Actually, I really, really, really dislike the fan art we have, for a couple of reasons.
 * Well, not all of it is good.
 * We don't host fan fiction either.
 * Much of it was uploaded in droves by fantards. And I really dislike fantards.
 * A lot of what we classify as fan art may in fact be virgin covers, but whoever uploaded it simply ripped it off another site (Comicvine, most of the time) that has no clear sourcing.
 * Definition.
 * If Ed Benes draws a character he's never worked on professionally, is it fan art?
 * What if it's a convention drawing or DeviantArt doodle of a character he did work on?
 * What if someone with limited credits (say, Romano Molenaar) draws a character he's never worked on?
 * If Bruce Timm draws Big Barda or Black Canary at a convention, is it New Earth or DCAU?

But yeah, I like the thought of only allowing artist-uploaded fan art. We have no legal standing sending out someone else's art if the license of the source site doesn't match ours.

This would mean we're going to have to delete much of what we currently have.

PS. I like, and eat, everything. Everything. Except raw onions on warm food.
