I don't see anyone asking about this, so maybe it was already clear to everyone but me, but I'll clarify for myself anyway.
I see a definite issue writing Supernatural fic and profiting by it. If a story deals with Sam and/or Dean Winchester or other characters created by Kripke, etc. then it's wrong to make money from it unless the original creative folks approve it and get their share.
But a J2AU? (Which in my mind is usually no different from original fic, unless it's a meanttobe or spn_cinema or some other retelling.) An original story (whether cast with JA and/or JP or not) is fair game. Commission, self-publish... whatever.
Re: fanfic authors writing original fiction -- I absolutely would buy their works if their books shared the same qualities I loved in their fanfic. Case in point: Deadroads, which I've bought and then pimped on LJ, Facebook, Goodreads, and amazon.
