Don't forget to check out my other written works here at http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/808077/ I'll make sure to keep the list updated so you can always find the story you're looking for.
This is a very interesting trend sweeping through FA at the moment. I have bought one myself from 
candykittycat and you'll find it in my gallery. Luckily though, I bought it before they started going for auction...
What I find most interesting about the whole TCBY trend is that they are going for auction more and more often by more and more artists. On the whole, they're just very basic works of art and it's amazing how much they are going for. I certainly don't begrudge any artist for making money, god knows they need it as much as the rest of us. It just disheartens me at how little we, the writers make. I would contend that authors work just as hard, if not harder, than a lot of artists and yet we are seriously unappreciated.
Few people bother to get a commission from a writer and certainly not for the same prices that an artist charges. Hell, my own $3 commissions goes far below any artists work that I've seen and I've only had 1 person purchase one.
But I guess it can't be helped. We just seem to enjoy and value artistic work over the written word and I can't blame anyone for it. It is far simpler to look at a picture than to take an hour and read a story.

Oh, and don't forget to make comments on anything *nudge nudge*
