Okay so… I’ve recently came across a MCYT fic loosely based on Maze Runner. I’ve read a bit, and it’s good! I also have ideas that I want to be in there, but aren’t. (Btw it’s on my yesssss reading list if you want to find it… my brain is being dumb right now and can’t recall the name, but I know it’s there.)
So I guess my question is… is it okay for me to also write a MCYT x TMR fic if that other fic was my inspiration? I don’t think I would have thought about this if I hadn’t seen that one, and I’m rather unclear if this is okay… so I thought, better safe than sorry I’ll just ask…
Is it okay or nah? What’s the etiquette here?

@dizzeyglitch I think it isn't copying because you're not copying the plot (i think) only the idea. it's like saying people doing sick fics or like MCYT highschool AU is copying the first person who wrote it. You could say something like "I got the idea from _____ so check out their work!" and tag them in the story just in case they aren't okay with it but I doubt they will be mad about it :)

@Stray-sparks the problem with that is, the last post on their profile from about four months ago, is that they're only going to come back to check Wattpad once every blue moon if at all :( I'll try the tag thing though, though even once I look at that I think I'll still be confused? Like, I'm not going to be doing the same thing as them, but the same premise kind of? So what tag do I look for for that? Like, is it the same thing as everyone does a coffee shop AU, is it just multiple people doing a Maze Runner AU? Or is it not like that, and even doing the same premise is plagiarizing? I don't want to screw it up...
