[quote=Anonymous]I have, and published a novel on fan fiction.net First thing I ever wrote and it blew up.

Now I am working on writing a legit novel and planning to self publish (may publish the fanfic as well but change the names and stuff, like Fifty Shades of Grey had to do)

I think what I learned from that experience is cream rises to the top.  If you are a good writer, quite often people will find you and you will grow a fanbase, regardless of your own faith in your work.  Not everyone has that happen, of course.  But publishing things online, even for free, is a huge resource that brings your work to millions.  I would definitely recommend self publishing, in whatever capacity.  It's amazing to think we live in a time of unprecedented personal power for artists where we can actually distribute our work, have total control, and get a cut of the profits and everything.  Take advantage of it and don't give up hope!

Also you might find this interesting, I was just reading it today:

Keep the faith and put your work out there!  You might just be amazed by the reception- I know I was!  Good luck![/quote]
