Question about Story Details
Hey, longtime lurker and fan here. I was planning on posting my first idea submission, but I just wanted to ask a quick question before I did. I'm planning on having the story take place at MnF University, more specifically a sorority house there. I'm not using anyone else's characters or story lines, but I was wondering if as a new writer I should get permission to do so first, since it's an established part of the lore? I definitely do not want to step on anyones toes or disrespect anybody!
Don't worry, you're fine.
Since it's just a general location that can be found in and/or near most big cities, you don't really need to worry. Same goes for places like the Town Hall, the library, police station, etc.
Though if it's something more specific that an author created for a specific story, such as a villains evil lair or a cults shrine (not sure what you'd call a place where a cult gathers), then you may want to play it safe and ask the creators permission to use it.
