So guys...I am super excited about something I just discovered today! And maybe you're thinking, how could you not know about this already? But somehow I missed it.
There is a way to make money writing fanfiction!!
Okay, so I know books like this exist. I used to own several BTVS books. But this requires no publisher/editor/agent etc.
In case you are like me and haven't heard of this wonderful feature provided by Amazon, it is called Kindle Worlds. Basically, authors give permission for others to use their characters and write their own stories. There are rules of course. The story must fit into the existing world of the original works...ie. no AU and no changing the original story to suit you. You also can't write into the future of a series that is still in progress.
This opens up a lot of opportunity for fans to write and self-publish their fanfiction. As long as guidelines are followed, stories will be made available on Amazon in eBook format for purchase.
I may be late to the party on this one (let's face it, I am late to the party on a lot of things) but it's exciting nonetheless.
