How do y’all feel about continuing a series after an author dies? To me, I think one last book can be written to end it, but the series should rest with the author, just my thoughts though. I’m in the middle of a series right now and some random lady is “finishing” it, but she has written like 7 books that show no end. I’m not mad, but I just want to feel the satisfaction of completing a series and having the whole collection.

    I can’t stand it! For a publisher/writer to continue a series/novels after an authors passing is just greed! They have a legacy of sorts, why tarnish it!

      Sometimes the setting or world is the legacy and the continued use of it is showing respect for that legacy. As a writer myself, I would be thrilled to think that, one day, readers might feel it necessary to continue writing about my world and characters. Similarly, I’d be thrilled to hear during my life of people writing fanfiction.
