Will I get in trouble using copyrighted characters in a non-published story?
I’ve been toying with a few stories that involve copyrighted characters. Basically, I was creating a story, adding my family in to the original storyline. Some family members would like me to write it and distribute it to family. I’m considering writing the 2 stories and distributing them to family, but only family. Would I get in trouble? I’ve considered contacting the company that owns the rights to the characters, but I don’t want to seem silly, or like I’m looking for a job!
The copyright laws have gotten rather odd, but if you keep it for you own pleasure, there should be no problem
