[Lord Shonus]

I always rename their profession to "Lord of x" where x is the material they used to make their artifact, then I put the artifiact in the overlord's office and give them a shinier bedroom.

[Beanchubbs]

I usually upgrade them from their either, 1x3, 2x3, or 3x3 bedrooms to a 5x5 and engrave it, unless they were possessed and didn't make weapon/armor.

[Innominate]

Normally I just turn off all their other labours (unless it's a possession, but I'll get to that) and let them enjoy the luxury of working only on what they love.

Dwarves who get possessed may not necessarily be allowed to finish their mood. Usually I just forbid the workshop they claim and enjoy the fireworks. Serves them right for trying to give me a crappy non-legendary and some woodcraft I don't want. If it's a useful profession I'll possibly let them survive.

However in my current fort, inspired by my treatment of the unfortunate possessed dwarves, I'm trying a different tactic. Every dwarf that successfully creates an artifact will have the honour of being sacrificed to the magma pipe. Possessions will not be allowed to finish what they start. All the legendaries in the fort will have to come from hard work. It's a challenge, especially with the magma pipe, chasm and bottomless pit all open to the surface.
