I suspect that written works, with their details-left-unmentioned and potential for broad interpretation, are less likely to be disappointing to any given reader than art. Unless the story is extremely graphic and unambiguous, that is. Or if the art was really abstract.
But who ever heard of abstract pornography?

Anyone who has seen a work from Mamabliss. :P
Text has it's strengths, but the reason that's what I work with is also that I'm simply no artist. :P If I could illustrate what I write, I would.
Then again, I'm one of those people who go to the MUD/MUSHes frequently.
