That depends on what you mean by ‘publish professionally’. I have no intention to shop around for an agent and try and get signed by a trad publisher. The small outfits aren’t worth it and it’s more likely to win the lottery twice than get signed up one of the big five as an unknown.
I do however have the intention to indie publish and I’ve done more than consider it. At the moment I’m in the planning stage. I’ve picked three fics (2 published, 1 that’s in my WIP folder) and I’ve sketched a series arc linking them together. They would need to be massively expanded obviously into full length novels but the core details are already in place.
That’s the most concrete step towards adaptation that I’ve done so far but I’ve identified several other fics that I think would be good starting points for solo novels, or work well together either combined into one book or into a series. Obviously especially as an indie author it’s much better to publish a series rather than a standalone so ideally I’ll make everything work together somehow. There’s more marketing options for series, it helps hook and retain readers etc. I could go on heh.
So basically yeah I’ve given it a lot of thought.
