...if you could see your way clear Tom, could you let us in on how you feel about fan fiction...I think you may be hiding something....Excellent point!
Plus, the fact that almost all fan fiction sucks big time is a reason to consider.

Hmmm.... Well, then, I guess the question might be asked this way: "I wonder how Stephen King feels about homages being written to him?"
I'm not sure I know the nuanced differences between an homage and fanfiction, and someone writing the next chapter of The Stand doesn't really feel like an homage, but maybe it absolutely is.
Yes, I hold back too much....if you could see your way clear Tom, could you let us in on how you feel about fan fiction...I think you may be hiding something....
Yes, I hold back too much.
I think the ultimate blasphemy for me would be fan fiction that...
took up where Revival left off and explored the life of those damn ants!!!

I want Fran to die of dippydoodlitisThanks for all the thoughts. Hopefully I didn't rub anyone too hard.
I have the basic idea of a novel (or group, or canon, or something) that I will almost surely never write. I won't tell you that there is a young family based on on Stu and Frannie and their baby, because maybe that would get me in trouble, but there is a lovely couple, living in Maine, with a newish baby.
I think the line between homage and fanfiction is pretty fine. Certainly when an author is asked, and when an author is dead, it changes things up. But I think many would agree that one could easily argue that when an author says they are writing an homage, you could say it's certainly a form of fanfiction. However, it would be a pretty good argument.

Steve was going through his Pollyanna phase. Her and Susan are the same character. I hate both.

No clue how others feel. I think Steve's early works lacked strong females. He changed that pretty quick with Delores.I guess you were happy when Susan became a vampire? Lol, at least she was more interesting at that point...until the stake through the heart. I actually liked Fran. I'm in the minority it seems.

Yeah, some critics have pointed out his shrill or whiny female leading characters. Rachel Creed and Wendy Torrance were mentioned. I see your point and I do agree he's made progress over the last 20 years. Dolores Claiborne was a fantastic character.No clue how others feel. I think Steve's early works lacked strong females.

Absolutely. I think Donna Trenton was another exception. She refused to be a victim and was complex.Let's not forget Annie Wilkes......
