Is there a list or thread somewhere that gives a more detailed rundown of what is 'correct' for the various categories? I realise this is not as simple as a bullet point list for each category or anything, and also that this is very much up to the author's intended crowd.
The reason I ask is because my intended story gets trapped between categories and becomes unpublishable it seems. It is a Mind Control story arc that is based on published works by a known author, and so it becomes celeb/Fanfic and non-con, which apparently is a no-go...
So I need to know what I need to alter or adapt to stay clear of the fanfic category, can there be slight references to his works, but not much and so on? Where is the border, so to speak. And for the record, I'm only borrowing the universe, my characters and time line are my own, set in an established world, only making historic reference to copyrighted characters.
