Unless you're someone who caused a lot a wank, plagiarized, and/or are (like) Cassie Clair (Clare--she reallllllllllyyyy should've chosen a dissimilar pro name instead of something so close her fan writer name since she has to know she's very controversial although it sounds like she recycled her fan work w/o revamping it into something more dissimilar than it is--I've not read it), I don't think you need to worry about it especially since it sounds like it's been a while since you were in fandom.

Just choose a different pseudonym for your pro writing and you'll be fine. If by some unlikely coincidence some does figure it out, deny, deny, deny.

I read a couple of fanfic authors who are pro writers. They use fanfic to work out writing mechanics for their pro work (ie. if they're trying a new technique they try it in fanfic to see how it goes and if people like it before using it in their pro work). They also write it b/c they enjoy it.

One fic author I've figured out their pro author name although I don't think she's tried all that hard to disguise it (it's not that hard to figure out since she also draws fanart/original art, posts it to her lj, and I've seen the orig. art used on her pro ebooks as a cover). The other I've not figured out their pro name since they've taken care to disguise it better.
