Okay, but how can you be sure whether a published book started out as fanfic?

Unless the author was known as a fanfic writer and/or the original fic was published online and was popular, you can't be sure. If the author never put the fic out for the public to see (or it was only published in some obscure zine that hardly anyone ever saw) and if the author kept their fic-writing persona completely separate from their real identity (whether they use a pen-name for their pro fic or not), you would never know. You may wonder about it, if you can spot similarities to another piece of media, but that's not proof it was fanfic, just that there may have been inspiration taken from that piece of media, or that both stories happen to use similar archetypes, cliches, and conventions. You've probably read some disguised fanfic without ever knowing it.
