I think that's what we've tried to do with the Porn Anthology, convert either our talents or our stories into something salable. I had a good story, it just isn't a porn story. The story I wrote set in the bathhouse could be converted. But I don't know hte markets, and half of the appeal that I see is in the characters themselves. I need to get off my duff and do the second draft of that novel I wrote (I'd send it to betas, but the opening doesn't match the ending and I haven't done the body work to make them match yet.)
Okay, um, I'm lost. Uh, I'm angry, and I'm armed, so if you two have something that you need to work out --

Oh, and "bap" means to smack someone very lightly. Generally used to express disapproval or disagreement. Frequently done to the back of hte head.

Yeah, but couldn't a lot of our fanfic be tweaked and ready for the original fiction market? And I suppose we'd have to change 'vampire' into, I don't know, 'investment banker'.
Considering that mine are about 90% dialogue, rarely involve vampires (of the stories I've archived on my website, 11 of them are vamp-free), and pretty much rely on canon for my backdrop, not so much.
It's actually the downside of being canon's bitch. Hard to repurpose things like that.

Porn anthology! Porn anthology! Damn it, can we please still have it work?
I wrote two stories! Like pulling teeth, this writing porn.

My sister's about half as tall as me, so I can put my palm on her forehead and just push back lightly. It works that way, too.

Shudder.
You people have ruined me. I'm watching Point Break, with Keanu Reeves and Patrick Swayze, and all I can think is "this film is so slashy!"

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
But... but... Point Break *is* so slashy!
