Talk:Collaborative fiction

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Eric Flint?

Are all the references to Eric Flint necessary to the article? While I can see using him as an example, the quote seems to be going to far. Is he really that notable when it comes to collaborative fiction in general? Crito2161 00:18, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

I agree, I reacted to the lengthy quote as well. I deleted the quote and reduced the references to Flint. Lijil 11:53, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Robert Lynn Asprin - Myth Series

Thieves World is a great series that I refer people to when discussing FFRP and Collaborative fiction, and I love the series, but I'm not sure the Myth series would be considered collaborative, unless more stuff has come out not written by Asprin...? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by RDI Panther (talk • contribs) 19:46, 28 January 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Merge from wikinovel

The outcome of the AfD from wikinovel was no consensus, but a suggestion to merge here. Whilst it is indisputable that the wikinovel is a kind of collaborative fiction, it is markedly different from the other forms discussed here, in that individual contributors don't "own" their own contribution -- i.e. they can't prevent their contributions from being edited into something entirely different later on. I think everything discussed in this article is substantially more structured, with authors owning either chapters or even entire books, or sometimes the characters within them. I think this distinction makes a merge inadvisable. Comments? JulesH 18:46, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
