Re: Re: Re: Re: Using real life people in fiction
Liam's right. Get everything in writing. That way if someone decides to sue you later, you have the papers that say; 'Ha you gave me permission'. Though if you're using their name and self as character, better keep it close to how they are in real life, you don't want to get hit with slander later on if they decide that that's not them.
