When a story/game/etc. has a character named Zagreus with the title “Prince of the Underworld”, and Melinoë with the title “Princess of the Underworld”, is this story a derivative of the Hades I & II games? Note that both Zagreus and Melinoë aren’t original creations of these games. They are from mythology & folklore, but they barely appear in ancient documents (Zagreus is basically just a name in ancient myths, and Melinoe only appears in a few Orphic Hymns)
From what I’ve learned from dub con hetero Omegaverse fiction, filling off the serial numbers is only really important if you’re selling the product. Even then, you can use a lot from the character archetype as long as you aren’t pulling from the setting.
After all, 50 Shades of Gray started as a Twilight fanfic.
What?
You’re right, I meant to say “from”, not “Freon”. Good catch, thanks!
I meant the 50 Shades from Twilight. Lol. I’m not in the Twilight demographic so I’d heard of 50 Shades years before I heard of Twilight. I had no idea there was a connection.
Yeah. 50 Shades was based on the writer’s fanfic of Twilight. When the author decided to publish the books as something for sale, she had to rip out everything relating to Twilight IP.
