How do I incorporate another author's concepts into my story without it being crossover or plagiarism?


Recommended Posts

I have a complicated question: I would like to use an author's concepts in my writing-- H.P. Lovecrafts's Cthulhu Mythos Deities. They are basically gods that he came up. I wouldn't necessarily reference a specific work, just some of the names of the gods. I would obviously put a disclaimer in my story about this, of course, but would this make my story a crossover?

It would, I think, but that's not really an issue. If you just disclaim both fandoms, we're good. Where is the story set, primarily?

That's exactly what I mean. There's no problems from our standpoint if you post it in Games > Mortal Kombat, and just disclaim Mortal Kombat and the Cthulu Mythos. We just ask that it be posted in the primary fandom. :)
