Would you publish your fanfic?

A publishing house picked up a young writer's One Direction fanfic to sell as an e-book, according to Crushable (via Jezebel). Is this actually becoming a thing in the wake of 50 Shades of Grey? Obviously fanfiction writers have been going pro for a long time, for the obvious reason that people who get good at a craft (in this case, writing) by practicing it are likely to do it professionally.

I have Thoughts about this )
