Publishing options for stories posted on Lit

[intropervert]

For those of you who are published, have you ever found an agent/publisher who would take on a story that had been, in part, published on Literotica (or other fiction site)?

I'm interested in reworking extensively and completing a story (it would be on the steamier side of romance in terms of genre) and just contemplating my options. I'd rather pursue a publisher than self-publish.

My agent likes stuff fresh from the keyboard, so to speak.

I did have a publisher approach me to include a couple of stories in an anthology, but they went broke before they succeeded in publishing.

When a story has been placed on Literotica, it has been published (and for free read). It normally would then have to essentially be an entirely different, unpublished version for a publisher to be interested in publishing it. Its readership possibility has already been largely used up.
