As an author with like 4 projects I'm basing off of worldbuilding I did for fanfic and as a reader of fanfic... I mean, I see both sides? It can be amsuing. The writer of the fic might be amused too? (who knows.)

I guess people see 50 Shades and those like it and think "oh it's easy." And they miss or don't know 50 Shades was a fanfic of a fanfic of a fanfic.

Like, even though I do weird elaborate cultural worldbuilding and maybe try to keep character dynamics, it doesn't mean this idea based off a fanfic comes with a PLOT/CONFLICT baked into it if I strip the 'fanfic elements' out or even if it DOES have an overarching plot, it might not have the smaller STEPS or the personal smaller plots for me to go "Yes, I can write this easily!" (Sometimes it is a lack of focus, yes. I know. ADHD blues here.)

But I err, have the sense not to post those fanfics anymore. Mostly b/c I refuse to post fanfics unless they're done and if I notice I can I dunno use it for an original story, I probably won't post it. B/C I know even if I did and said "I have similar original work Y," people still wouldn't go and read original work Y. It's just the way it is. Sigh.

If they want the social audience, then I understand them thinking about editing it and re-posting it. I mean I posted a fanfic in an old fandom for me a few years ago I'd finished and got a pretty snide "you would have gotten more comments if you'd posted this once a week" and I was like "I don't care... anymore? Enjoy the story?" But err, I'm pretty blase about it. It is what it is.
