It's been on my mind since I joined Star Trek Reverse Bang, where the art comes first and fics are written based on pics instead of the other way around and all my artist friends have been like: we're important? AMAZING.

I wonder if there is any reasonable way to have both at the same time? Like have the fics start and have artists draw some stuff. And then at the mid point, have people who are more interested in drawing/writing for a "prompt" so to speak, pick a piece of art of fic that they would like to write/draw to. It seems a little bit unnecessarily complicated but that's the only idea that's come to me so far.
