Do the Thing! – Fan-to-Pro and Fan-while-Pro

Thanks to everyone who attended the OTW chat on “Why Fanworks Should Be Celebrated” and asked questions about the fan-to-pro or fan-while-pro experience.

You can now read a transcript of the discussion at the OTW site. Topic include not looking at fanfiction at an audition for a professional writing life; not waiting to get chosen but submitting your original writing if you want to go pro; and how just like “reviews are for readers, fanfiction is for fans.”

We hope you enjoy!
