You mean like Shakespeare?
Surely you didn't think he CREATED Romeo and Juliet, did you?
I remember reading
Bonfire of the Vanities as a serial in
Rolling Stone about twenty years ago. I think Wolfe made some changes between the serial and the final book (which I bought).
Also, I learned that if you're going to publish a serial, WRITE IT ALL FIRST. Then if you get hit by a bus, presumably the publication can continue.
