Especially if you're planning on sending it to the webmaster for eventual posting on the Library.
As the author myself of many fanfic/net published stories, I can tell you that depending on the tone of the request, i usually don't have a problem with people being 'inspired' by my fanfics, however, i do have a problem with someone writing, posting, and not asking me first whether it was okay. I don't like not being asked. Perhaps she might have the same thoughts, and in any case, it would still be nicer to ask.
I do recall sending her a note suggesting she write a sequel of some way to deal with this situation, but never received a reply. That is what got me started in the first place. If she had replied, there would have been no need for this posting.
Btw, an entire group has sprung up around the idea of BSC, with a number of people writing (not related necessarily to Katie's story, but) perhaps inspired by it.
I may have stumbled on a solution to this challenge without resort to writing about an area of sexuality with which I have no experience - and making a hash of it.
Should I complete this project, it is unlikely I will post here. BDSM is not my thing.
