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.

Thank you for answering my question. I was just using MnF University as the location, nothing specific from existing games, so I should be good to go. Thanks again!

I'm really digging your idea brother! I've been trying to get a huge ass game through the door for a while now so you've got me vote for sure! This character has awesome potential and I'm a big fan of Love Randalin. :D

Hey, thanks a lot, big fan of Gloria! I wasn’t sure if I could use pictures of real people for my game but I read in an earlier thread that it was fine, so I went for it. Randalin could probably pass for a cartoon anyways :lol:
