That world belongs to her. YOU can find examples of other worlds that have allowed multiple writers but that is more the exception rather that rule. One thing all your examples have in common is that they were not originally book series. Lucas may have allowed people to write books in his universe but he did not allow them to write movies, at least not until then sent him a truck load of money.

Most really good writers would not want to write in someone else's world, they want to create their own. I doubt even Sanderson would want to write more WOT books.


I thought I had said I would expect them to get Harriet's permission and blessing first. I was certainly thinking it. This world is so rich and unique, I wouldnt want just any aspiring writer to start writing in this world.

The God King mourns...

Am I alone in the thought that other writers should be able to write stories within Randland? - 21/09/2017 10:45:37 PM 800 Views
