Yo! Just a quick question to all my watchers willing to help with a recent idea I'm struggling with.
So I'm trying to work on a super hero type story but am having trouble piecing together some of the smaller details. One such is the heroes arch enemy whom has a xenophobic vendetta against all things 'supernatural'. Until recently I had him secretly working with an unnamed branch of the government that abducts and contains mutants and other such beings, but I recently gave it a name.
So here's the problem: I didn't think of the name first.
I'm using the popular creepypasta meme "The SCP Foundation". It would be slightly different in the fact that I'd probably not bring up all the creatures on the wiki, but everything about it seems like a perfect type of organization for the protection of 'normal' people from 'the unnatural'.
Thoughts? Is this just ripping off someone else's work or can I use it since it's technically not one persons property? Please help.
