Thanks!

Edit: *blushes* I think I've opened up a can of worms with this post, but I've read some very healthy discussion going on here!

I disagree. It's entirely different, and i think it's bad form to just take a fanfic, replace the characters and then publish it as original work.
I agree that there ARE fanfics turned into original work, like "Zero to the Bone" that are very good, but in that case the fanfic was already AU/AU and that certainly makes a difference. However, I don't like it - and you won't convince me otherwise. It's just plain bad form to do it. If the writer is really that good, then he or she won't have a problem producing something really original and have success with it, just like Sarah Rees Brennan proved it in the HP fandom.

Whilst I understand and respect your opinion in a way you have just proved what I said as I never even knew Zero to the Bone was previously a fan fic. I have that book, just haven't read it yet.

I never said that those books can't be good. Jane Seville (the author of Zero at the Bone) is a fantastic author and has written a lot of good stuff in the BBM fandom. It's not about that. What irks me in people like Jan Irving is that while she was writing fanfic, she only friended people who would feedback her, and if you didn't you were thrown out of her "circle" in a flash. So she used her f-list to improve as an author and then - voilá, she pulls all her stuff and makes money with it. that kind of behaviour is bad form. It just is.

I didn't know Jan Irving in the QAF fandom, and don't know her as an author so thanks for that information, as I don't like that behaviour either. The authors I support started in the SPN J 2 RPS writing AUs, all if them are very good and now write exclusively original fic.
