Thinking about it, part of my issue is that I'm quite new to fic writing and so paranoid about quality for challenges etc regardless. If I was doing fanart I wouldn't be anywhere near so worried. (Which is not to say I don't worry at all)
I'd wonder if fail on the community would be easier and safer to deal with compared to fics posted outside the community. Assuming that there's already the fact that the fics were written with a PoC audience in mind so there's some assurance that the fail will likely be somewhat minor, recognizable, and fixable, and that the community space itself is one where PoC feel like they can speak up if they find something problematic and will be supported by the rest of the community and the mods, even if the author hirself maybe doesn't get it 100%.
That is a really interesting question, and it never occurred to me to think of it that way. HMM.
