I'm looking for a second opinion in regards to reviewing a book from an author who used to write fan fiction: is it poor form to mention that the author used to write fan fiction? Or that the novel that you're reviewing used to be a fic?
The reason I ask is because I just finished the second book in my 100 book challenge - The Lost Temple by Stevie Woods (the second book in the Tomcat series) - and the entire series used to be fic. In fact, other than the names of the characters, nothing much has been changed and I'd like reference that (and a few other things) in my review but then I thought that might be bad form of me.
Any thoughts on this?
