There are a lot of common references that we as fans know as "Greyhawk", like Iuz, Mordenkainen, Furyondy, the Temple of Elemental Evil, Trithereon, the Isles of Woe, and so forth. If you have enough of those references, and a shared understanding of what they mean, IMO that makes it Greyhawk if they say it's Greyhawk. I admit that I sometimes wonder whether my stories are "Greyhawk" enough, particularly since I often create entirely new characters and plotlines in lieu of having them fight the Temple or explore the Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth. A lot of Greyhawk material has centerred on rehashing those stories and plots (with the whole 'Return To' module phenomenon) and I generally don't want to do that unless I have a real emotional connection to it like I do the GDQ series. The reason I don't just write this as original fiction is because of how much Greyhawk and D&D have inspired me, and I've used what Gygax and his successors gave us to inform a lot of what I have. It has to be Greyhawk-otherwise, it's pointless.
