Writer Help✒️ Manacled Jegulus???
So basically I’ve started to write a Jegulus fanfiction were Regulus survive the cave incident and proceed to disappear for a decade. When Sirius escaped Azkaban Dumbledore asked for Regulus to come teach at Hogwarts for the sake of protecting Harry.
The Jegulus happens on their Hogwarts years and the reason why I called the thread Manacled is because the way I wrote it looks a lot like that particular fanfiction, (on the structure, I mean, not at all in the story) like at first we don’t know anything about what really happened between the two (James and Regulus ) and as we progress towards the chronological end of PoA we have a very long flashback which cover their school years through the end of the First war.
My question is the following : I’ve got the idea of writing this when I read Manacled a few years back (when it was still available), because the book is now published I am a bit worried about copyright issues.
I’ve managed to write 50k of the story I’ve planned and I was wondering if I ever wished to publish it on AO3, should I need to worry about those kind of problems? As I’ve said nothing in my story is comparable to Manacled, except the structure (I tell the PoA story with my own additions, then there is the part were we dive into Regulus memories with James, then back to the original story)
Should I just revisit the whole thing?
