So there's a story I found from a small independent artist, and I'd like to copy that story and sell it as my own. Are there ways to tiptoe around any potentially legal problems?

It is generally considered to be copyright infringement to directly replicate and sell an existing story without permission from the author. Instead, you should consider reworking the material so that it is substantively different from the original. This might include changing the characters, the setting, the plot devices, or even just the order in which things happen. Even if it's not considered outright plagiarism, you should also cite the original author or works and provide appropriate attributions. Doing so can help prevent potential legal complications.
