Parker S asked Stuart Gibbs:

Hi! If I’m being honest, you are my favorite author. After reading Whale Done, I read the acknowledgments and saw the “License to Krill” title, and it inspired me to write a book with a somewhat similar plot, and with that title. I have completely different characters, so are you okay with me using the title and plot? Thanks for your time!

Stuart Gibbs Writing a book with a similar plot to mine is a problem. Although I guess it depends how similar the plot is. If it’s really close and you’re using story elements that I came up with, that is technically plagiarism.
