Best Answer

It depends on how similar they are and how famous the other work is.

In your example, you said you named your characters 'constructs.' The word "construct" is a common word, so it might be alright to use it as a descriptive word. However, if another author who is more famous than you has a group of creatures who seem almost identical to yours and are called the same thing, then you might have accidently picked up the idea from that author and you should pick a different name and change them a bit. Otherwise, the original author could sue you for copying him.

You might check a thesaurus and find other terms that mean the same thing, or even invent a word yourself and say it's these characters' name for themselves.
