2L locations based on books?

[Sylo Runner]

I'll be publishing a novel soon and am thinking about the possibility of having a 2L "world" to go along with the novel, where fans can see the locations in the book. Do any of these already exist? How about for TV shows, movies, etc?

I'm aware of copyright infringement issues that could complicate fans creating worlds from someone else's work, but if I create a 2L space from my work, would that still be an issue? I think this could be a great idea, but am not sure of the details.

Hope someone can help.

Yeah there have been builds done of all sorts of place from books, movies, games etc

If its your own Novel and you create the sim yourself I can`t see any reason why that would be a copyright infringement at all.

Well, to build a set to match your novel, you'd have to own or rent land. You could rent it temporarily or for longer term from residents inworld or you could buy it to control it more. Depending on how complex the scenes are, you  might need more or less land.

 

I don't know what 2-L means.

 

But if you mean going around the world and finding already existing scenes that sort of match your book that you would sort of adopt, on the mainland there isn't an issue with filming these locations but on islands you have to see their covenant policy, some allow filming with credit, others don't, etc. You could just ask.

2L I figured was 2nd Life...I could be wrong
