Scrubbing is the process of transforming a work of fanfiction into an original work by analyzing which parts of the existing story can be used to build a new world and narrative.
-
If it is scrubbed, yes.
If a piece of fanfiction is based on source material which is in the public domain (learn more here) then it does not need to be scrubbed.

NEVER. The process of editing, cover design, and selling your book is a collaborative process that we fund. You should never pay a publisher to work with you. EVER.
EXPERIENCE C.L. BEAUMONT’S GORGEOUS M/M ROMANCE SET AGAINST THE BACKDROP OF DENALI
“This is the type of book where, from the very first sentence to the last, you trust that you are in good hands. The story is told with skill and nails the unique voices of each character. This author also crafts the Alaskan wilderness as a main character and the landscape descriptions and atmosphere leant beauty and an attuned sense of place. I really appreciated and was touched by the authenticity of Will’s voice and experiences. You are right there with him, feeling it all. What a gift this book is.

Fiction written by new voices.
A grassroots collaboration of creatives.
We publish authors who have cut their teeth in the rich world of fandom.
Online spaces have long been filled with talented individuals - many of them LGBTQ+, many seeking to tell their own stories through the lens of fiction, many who would otherwise lack opportunity to have their voices heard.
Carnation Books seeks to amplify those voices by publishing unique, high-quality, mold-breaking fiction which emphasizes queer romance and erotica.
We welcome sexy and romantic stories from fandom authors.
