There already is, at least on the fan-fiction side. It seems to come and go along the subjects they write about, although really good subjects (like the Xena) take a very long time to completely die (Xena is still somewhat alive after over 10 years). But as a consumer I wouldn't want that to be the mainstream, because like I said: the overall quality ain't so good. Fan-fiction also has two advantages that normal fiction might not have when written as a hobby:
  1. already familiar setup that just needs another plot
  2. and pre-motivated writers
