... what do you mean? I know of at least one author who keeps their fanfiction and professional-author identities very separate, to avoid accusations of plagarism and the like. That's if they just don't pull down the fanfiction entirely, which is something Ive also seen happen.
On the other hand, the
founder of AO3 openly admits it in her author biography.
