All I can think of is, what if a fanfic author, trying to move into original fiction, posts their original fic online. They have a good rep as a fanfic author, so some of their fans read their original fic. Then down the line, they get a publishing deal for a different story, and now they pull that first original fic off the net and if they see any hint of anyone having a copy of it elsewhere, they want to sue them for it?

There's also the other issue that if you put something out there, for free, there's a possibility of plagiarism that a publishing company has no way of stopping. It's only stories the company publishes that gets protected by copyright laws.

I've never heard of either of these happening- they seem to be problems with a wider scope than people who sell fanfic? The closest I can think of is Sarah Rees Brennan requesting that people don't actively share her fic, but I think someone would have to be seriously disrespectful for her to hire a lawyer.

Obviously my experience is limited, but from what I've seen authors want to maintain a friendly relationship with fandom and still seem to get a lot of abuse for it. Even the comment below me, people just get upset!
