Let's just imagine both works get published.
Hypothetically speaking, I write a book about a group of friends who decide to open a community centre together. The main plot doesn't really revolve around the centre, but the lead up to its creation and the struggle it takes. The book is mostly about the strain on their relationship. The centre doesn't open until the last two chapters.
Now, lets say I want to write an entirely new book featuring the same community centre. The characters from the original novel don't feature, but the backstory about how it opened will remain the same. It will focus on the town citizens and their problems.
The same could be said for any type of business, really. Like using the same bookshop or cafe in all of your unrelated novels.
What do you think of this? Thanks for reading.
