It's a tough question, isn't it? I don't currently think it's worth the risk either, and I like the idea that fandom is for fun, not money.
On the other hand, if I was broke again, I would probably be seriously tempted to set up a Patreon or Ko-fi for this DW account in general, fanwork and non-fanwork and all, (although I would probably be too afraid to promote it very hard).
And if I do finish the Anne of Green Gables re-write we were talking about a few posts back, I will probably try to sell it to a traditional publisher, because it's public domain and I would love to see it in bookstores and libraries! (I would probably try to send all of my share to some charity related to Indigenous Canadian foster kids, though, because I don't need the money right now and I would feel weird about getting paid as the sole author.)
