Yeah, I don't think a lot of people realize just how much work does go into that side of things until they experience it themselves. That would be the biggest hurdle for me should I get lucky enough to get to that level of professional writing, I know that much. I would very much want someone to help guide me and figure out where the best places to have signings or readings would be, or what shows would be best to go on, or things of that sort.

I also fully agree with your second paragraph. Regarding the aggressive aspect of promotion, with some authors, the amount of attention they want can sometimes be a factor in terms of how aggressive they get with their promotion, too. In my case, I'm certainly always happy when people find and read my fanfic, and if there's an opportunity for me to promote it, I will, but I don't promote it as heavily as I would if I were writing an original novel, y'know? And even then, either way, I'm not really one for being in the spotlight much, and would be afraid of becoming a bother to people, so any promotion/advertising I did would be fairly modest as a result.
