Character naming question

[theresa_ramseyer]

Good morning :).

Chatting last night, and had a fanfic idea for at least one story. But I need a particular character's initials to be SB, at least during drafting.

I love the name Steven Barnes for him, it just seems to fit - but I know there's at least one real, live Steven Barnes out there. He's a writer, and I get writing messages/newsletters from him occasionally.

If anything ever comes of this beside between the four of us, do I need to specifically put something into my disclaimer that SB is not based on the writer/coach Steven Barnes? The character and the real SB don't look anything alike, and I'm not basing the character off of him at all, so my stories won't be "real person".

Thanks,
Theresa
