1. Must be composed of at least 4 books, and a trilogy plus an anthology or lone prequel should be avoided.
2. Is not the novelization of some movie, TV series, or video game like Star Trek or Star Wars or Star Craft, or for that matter a RPG like Forgotten Realms, Dragonlance, Warhammer 40k, etc.
The List So Far
Adams, Douglas - Hitchhiker's Guide
Doesn't this violate rule number 2?

Was that a snarky way of saying you don't like Adams or something?

I think it was a not so snarky way of saying Hitchhiker's Guide started as a radio show. *NM*
