And WHY! does it count as a rip-off?
A number of Authors allow Fans to play in their universe. How much editorial control they use?? I can't say. (And those that say MINE, go away)
Then there are 'Collaborations' ? You see a particular Authors name included on the cover along with a (sometimes not-so)
Newbie team up.
Some folk have a good tale idea, but writing style is

, thus this pairing works ( $$

) for both .
In other cases the original authors well or health has run low and the fans still get served.
