Rights question

[melissajm]

Just for fun, I wrote a story based on a cut scene from the novel that's currently sitting in DAW's slush pile. It quotes from a wanted poster in the book and is about the novel's main character, although it doesn't mention his name.

I saw a market that might be a good fit for this story. Am I allowed to submit the story to magazines now that I'm shopping the novel, or is that a no-no? Thanks!

I certainly don't see any problem with it!
