I don't know if Japan has a fanfiction community like the West does.
But the fanart can be pretty good. I know a few Japanese people on DA.
probably stuff on the JP side I'm sure. As for any other country I wanna say no.
Japan's fanfiction community = doujinshi artists
Doujinshi = fanfics
Back then, they didn't draw it. They just wrote.
Yea....Auir pretty much hit the nail on the head...
I've always taken the clue that fanfiction is more popular in the west nowadays....
But if you were a Japanese chick Jibs, 9 times out of 10 you'd be drawing a Harry Potter doujin comic compared to writing one...
