chosen.content: There are certain steps you can take to limit any legal issues when you copy or use another person's story. Firstly, you should only use small parts of the story, and give the original author credit for their work. You should also make sure to add your own original elements, such as characters, ideas or plotlines. Lastly, when you copy the story, make sure to follow all applicable copyright laws, such as paying appropriate fees for using the story or taking legal action to get permission to use the material.

rejected.content: Yes, there are a few ways you can potentially tiptoe around any potential legal problems. You could reach out to the artist and ask if you could republish their story with attribution to them. This could include including their name and links to their portfolio within the story. You could also change the story enough that it's considered an original work and not a direct copy of the other story. Finally, you may be able to purchase the rights to publish the story from the artist or from the original publisher.
