I know that Wheel of Time was handed over by Robert Jordan to Brandon Sanderson, because he was dying. It can be very jarring to suddenly see a change in writing style.
Maybe that's how historians of literature feel when they detect forgeries or misattributions.
I think maybe it would make more sense to have authors write individual stories and contribute to a shared setting. Not like spin-offs and fandoms, but like open source contribution I guess.
Yeah in a way I guess super hero comic shared universes are kind of already this.
I had this idea for one of my novels. It's this absolute playground of a setting where, in essence,
s have full reign over character customization in an MMO in the halted-dystopia future. I have the POV characters with entirely different plots so there's infinite stories you could tell. If grimbo the goblin gets a cult following, then another author could write about their goblin-y adventures and it could contribute to the same world.
That's sort of how the Warhammer and Warhammer 40k novels worked. I think that's what they did with the Star Wars novels that are no longer canon. You end up with a couple good books and a lot of slop.
