Is that an exclusively American practice, or a worldwide one? And would it still apply if there were no proof that the creator read a particular story (e.g. if they just randomly found it on the internet and did not inform the author about having read it)?

SA I couldn't say. All the pros I know are American. Having said that, we live in an increasingly litigious world with lots of international overlap (especially in the entertainment community) so I wouldn't be shocked if 'Better safe than sorry' weren't words to live by everywhere.

[(Anonymous)]

As for your other question I think there needs to be proof, because of the concept of finite ideas. Having said that, every so often you'll hear about someone like JK Rowling having to defend themselves from the author of some previously published work. Nothing is certain.

Thank you! That's very interesting. I'm reassured that the way I handle these things is OK, but this is the sort of fact one wants to know if their canon creators do not completely isolate themselves from the fandom.
