Assuming compensation isn't an issue-- maybe something else allows for that, maybe some kind of mandatory licensing--
That you might see slightly less editing/polishing of the initial run of a novel, but if people like it, you'd see more fan-fic and reworking, and that might contribute to better versions of later runs.
As well as works which chllenge the original, such as Kirill Yeskov's *The Last Ringbearer*,
As well as works which address lack of representation, bad representation, and so on.
Now I'd like everyone involved to get appropriate payment and due credit, but I think more derivative works and more re-workings would be a good thing.
