Well, this is complicated, and the short answer is there's no guarantee, ever. There are talented people in fandom who are frankly much more talented than BNFs and go unrecognized their entire fandom careers, and there are people who aren't very talented at all who get a significant amount of recognition.

It isn't always a reflection on your ability if you don't get "famous". A lot of being a BNF is being social and meeting people and being active and a visible contribution in communities. It isn't always quality, but quantity, and reliability. Someone who posts fantastic works only every once in a while will be less popular than someone who posts less-fantastic work on a regular basis. Fandom as a whole has an incredibly short memory.

That said, a number of my buddies in the old crowd BNF club have jumped fandom recently, so if you're going to try this might be the time :|a
