I got it, its all fake, blah, blah, blah. What I mean is fake on the level of a book saying that vampires turn into fruits and cute things, that mean you not harm.

But I still think its a bit gray area, leaning just a bit towards the dark side. But I guess that's what most franchises do anyways, so I guess its pretty much the same thing as Batman, or Star Trek.

That would be Piers Anthony and the book would be "Through the Ice". A posthumous collaboration is usually a work which was unfinished at the time of the original authors death, as long as the original author is credited and the controlling interests(whoever controls the copyright) agree then I see no problem with it.

Wikipedia has stated this about the "thief" Sprague de Camp: De Camp was also known for his sword and sorcery, a fantasy genre he was instrumental in reviving through his editorial work on and continuation of Robert E. Howard's "Conan" cycle. he did not "steal" anything. even the antichrist wikipedia said it. Tales of Conan (1955) (with Robert E. Howard) - collection containing the first of de Camp's "posthumous collaborations" with Howard, marking the beginning of his successful promotion of Howard's "Conan the Barbarian" character. (wow what grand thievery!) Conan the Adventurer (1966) (with Robert E. Howard) - first of the paperback printings of the Howard/de Camp "Conan" collaborations, which ensured the success of the character and defined it for a generation. thanks for proving that i "made" up factual evidence, hell, maybe if i said the everglades was filled with snakes id be lying too? understand this, "paula", i actually do research before spout off at the mouth, because id rather not be bitten in the ass by spreading falsities and untruths. So please, before checking in to your local psych ward, i never said i knew EVERYTHING, im just a humble fan, in college, with a tad bit of time on his hands and attempting to write my own original fantasy series. so please dont blow a gasket and calm down. actually….
