Characters will survive, they always do. There are plenty of people now who can tell you who Sherlock Holmes is without knowing his creator. Everyone knows Batman too, but I bet there are very few people who can tell you the creator's name.
Again, it's not something I'm happy about, but I can't see how writing/reading as a form of pleasure will survive.
