As long as you don't go over to where they live.

I know what you mean, "Something is missing," like the spark that was there in the original is gone.

Problem is there's too much of that today, people taking over franchises that have no respect for it.

I have no problem with other writers taking over characters & writing duties, it's just that sometimes that doesn't work out.

You just need to find somebody who is a fan of the original and understands the characters and respects both.

When i finished the millennium trilogy (girl with a dragon tattoo, the girl who played with fire, the girl who kicked the hornet's nest) knowing that the author had passed away after he finished them i got depressed knowing that these characters wouldn't be coming back because of that. Also, because Stieg Larsson didn't live to see what a big success his books would be.

I know that recently other authors have written sequels to the trilogy but i haven't read them.
