Making a Book

Many of my readers have asked me for a novel format of my stories to buy. There are some legality issues with it though, using Sehun and Baekhyun’s names and personas. I have been working on making my stories into a book, but I’m kind of torn on what to do.

 

I saw a forum discussing this, saying that authors who sold their fanfics using idol’s names were super low. But I’ve also seen tons of Korean fans selling a collection of their Exo fics, which I’m sure SM is aware is happening, just like the fansites who sell unofficial photo books. Still, it doesn’t make it legal, just that SM doesn’t seem to care much.

 

My question is this: Would you guys think I was low for selling my work? Or do you think changing the character’s names would be good enough? Just a minor change in names, like Sejun and Baekyan or something (Also any mention of “Exo”)

 

If you would like, please let me know what you think in the comments. You can even share suggestions on alternate names if you'd like. Thank you for your help!
