Re: Fanfiction or original fiction -- advice ?

I've had three stories published that began life out of fanfic universes. The trick, as others have said, is to make the story and characters yours enough that the source material isn't immediately obvious. Or, if it is, it scans as "homage" rather than "ripoff."

Vampires and werewolves have been done enough that you should be able to tweak whatever you need to tweak in order to make the story work--it might even work better because you're not stuck within the constraints of Meyer's world.

Congratulations on your stories! And yeah -- I'm not sure yet how well I'll be able to tweak, or if the result will be an improvement. But the responses here have been encouraging, so I'm going to give it a try.
