Shared universe can be real fun---as already noted, Wild Cards, Thieves' World. Also have a couple volumes of the Liavek series. Need to find a few of the volumes, just haven't bothered to check online. Getting them with just a few clicks seem anticlimactic compared to hunting them down myself in a used bookstore.
As to licensed properties---like FR---I was never much into any of the TSR-related stuff. Star Trek, it depended on the author. Haven't picked up any in years. Star Wars usually disappointed. Making my way through the Virgin Doctor Who, which are a mixed bag, but I'm a big DW fan, so... Babylon 5 had a few good ones, but mostly pretty lame. Best tie-in still has to be Steven Brust's Firefly novel, My Own Kind of Freedom. Technically, it's "fan fiction," but from a professional and talented fan.
