There are two lines of though having read this.

One is if she is middle of the road writing wise put prolific, then it will shake out in the market and she might be surprised how much she doesn't sell. People are much more forgiving of fanfic than they are about "original" fic that they are paying money for. Things that they just gloss over in fanfic become problematic trying to sell to a public that doesn't read fanfic.

Two is that authors have been filling the serial numbers off of their work for years. Neil Gaiman has used folktales and the like much to his advantage through out his career. How many times have authors basically rewritten the Odyssey? Or Shakespeare? And speaking of Shakespeare, most of his work was based on previous works of fiction that he had read or poems or the like.

It's a tale as old as time and if it is well written I will read it and pay for the price for it else there is always the library to pursue new works or reworks of old works.

There's a difference between inspiration or writing your 'take' on something, and just filing off the serial numbers.

If you can find-replace the character names and nothing has changed from the original...you aren't 'reworking' shit.

But most fanfic writers aren't re-writing original work. They're taking characters and settings they like and telling new stories with them*. It's really not that much different than, say, writing a book about ancient gods in the modern world.

*and in some cases, the characters and settings get changed so much from canon to fic that they might as well be original, anyway.
