#so reworking it into something bigger and better and properly planned wouldn't be terrible

[seeminglyseph]

somehow seeing that post about people selling fanfic made my brain do the paranoia tango, I know it's like... the ultimate self indulgence because it's all old and like... moderately successful for its niche circles of interest. And also I have literally not written anything in like... years.

But I've never posted any of my writing on any of those for profit sites like kindle unlimited or... any of the other self-published sites you can make an income off of. I have my fics posted on AO3, and maybe random brainstorming posts here and like... those are the official places you should find like. "The Kids Aren't Alright" and I guess I had some Dragon Age stuff I fully abandoned because I ran out of inspiration. but TKAA is such a like. "Let's do a High School AU of some late stage villains and some side characters that basically become OCs since they were basically just some cool character designs in a completely different show in a different genre so the translation from space marine/mercenary to high school delinquent is so drastic and dramatic that unless you know to look you will not know the characters are based on each other"

So I have toyed with returning to the idea and refining it to like... a better polished finished story that probably wouldn't resemble the rough 'seat of my pants' fic I originally wrote. but also like. Someone could just barely need to replace the names in that bitch and have a stolen fic that people might not even fully be able to guess the source of the fic to publish as a novel. It's extreme vanity to assume someone would want to but like. I would really have no way of knowing. So it has not been me. I have not done that.
