Getting permission helps as the author may allow you to post the story on the article itself (posting it without their permission will result in it being removed and a warning/temporary ban). To get permission you can simply write them a message on their talk page and wait for a response (depending on the author, it might take some time).

That being said, there are some stories where finding the original author might be difficult, you can always try messaging an admin to help you search or ask for their opinion. Thank you <4
