I don't know - I think not writing fan fiction could be an advantage from another point of view. You're clearly a lovely and evocative writer, just from your journal entries, one, and but secondly, you're not in the habit of allowing the characters to flop around all irresponsibly, which is what I get out of writing -- and reading -- most fan fiction. I'm trying to imagine winnowing down something like "tatters" to work in a pro-novel format, and I come up with a plot-heavy mess, sans all the over the top scenes that make the story fun to write. Don't think I could do it.
Might be scared to do it, too, since it would make what's always been a hobby ... work. And then what would I do for fun?
But that's only speaking for myself, of course. There may be lots of fan fiction writers here who have submitted proposals and are not so cheerfully brave as thee in admitting it.
