Confused - please help

I was sent an email notification that the story I'm writing was not disclaimed properly, and that I needed written permission from the author of the fanfiction whose idea I was using. I sent a reply, but never got an answer.

The original fanfiction, called Dragon Kind (in the Harry Potter threesomes and moresomes section) has an author's note at the end of the page stating that anyone (more than one person) can adopt their fiction as long as let the original author know so that they can direct others to it. Does this count as written permission from the author, or do I have to find another way to contact them and get their permission? I would quite like to continue writing my fanfic.

and idk about the asking the other author..send an email to apolloimperium or DemonGoddess...

I've emailed the original author to confirm permissions for you to do this, as that author note is OLD. This is a CYA measure for you, as one should ALWAYS confirm that permissions still apply.

[yaoinessdotcom]

Thank you. I apologise for not getting it right the first time, and if the permissions don't still apply, I'm okay with taking the story down.

[DemonGoddess]

Hopefully, the AN is still in force and she's not changed her mind.

[yaoinessdotcom]

Have you heard anything back yet?

[DemonGoddess]

Nope. However, we'll go with assumed permissions for now, as it's stated in the story to begin with, even though that AN is old.

Thank you! I've been looking forward to continuing it.
