In novels its just inexcusable. Can you imagine if Tolkien (or his great nephew or whoever) was still writing Lord of the Rings stories? Sure there are a lot of great stories to be told in Middle Earth but... Uggh, just uggh.
There comes a time to just let it go and move on to something new and stretch the old writing chops a little.

theres 6 main novels and 10+ prequels,sequels and "in between" novels.
when you're writing novels that take place in between the events of other novels it's time to let it the bleep go. no offense to brian herbert and his pub but they should just "weekend at bernie's" his dads corpse at this point, they cant possibly disrespect his memory any more.
based on the pee-poor reviews of her last dozen books, laurell k hamilton should have her computer taken away. authors need to let it go and realize when their series has jumped the shark.
i'd rather be left wanting more than force fed it until i puke.
