Heh... Some IP in books shouldn't be passed to another authors or generations. I'm OK sons or grandsons monetize this shit endlessly, like Tolkiens.. but hell... Conan ended with Howard's death. Dune with Frank Herbert, etc... exploiting others work through lose interpretation in continued stories are always.. only... breaking fans into canonical and non-canonical parts and verbal wars among what actually should be canonical.

I always hated being involved in such conversations.. not I like endless exploiting. Some worlds and stories should be stay crisp without additional interpretations other than fan's talk while having a glass of something tasty.
