I am a Lawyer and I specifically studied IP in one of the most credited IP Law School in NY. I confirm everything you guys stated so far. It is too risky. I am not sure that any IP owner will automatically deny it. I can conduct your negotiation pro-bono, if you want. PM me, in such case. Or even better ask a local IP lawyer in your jurisdiction.

As you guys are all correct, the fun part of this is that it seems that we lawyers are useless, but this is the understatement of the year.

The funnier part of this is that your fan fiction reminded me that last week I was discussing fan fiction with a law student of mine (I now also teach legal English in Italy). This student would be an awesome player in Achaea, she writes fan fiction, she love RPG and everything fantasy-themed, but I want her to focus on Law School. How can we do that the Logos?
