Who wants redwall books by another author

[daskar666]

The problem with fanfiction is that usually it doesn't motivate the authors to write a book-length story that is of the same quality as the books.
If more people were motivated to do that I would be happy with that but most of them are just 9-10 chapters long and don't tell much of a story.

Wow, definitely getting some passionate responses here, wot!

It is terribly sad that Brian is gone, and I think continuing the series had the best of intentions behind it.  We want more of his world, and we realize that he probably had dozens more in mind for the Redwall world.

I take myself back to a book signing Brian did in Austin TX (I wasn't there, but have watched it several times on youtube), in which Jacques talked about his books as if they were his kids (someone had asked him "what is YOUR favorite Redwall book?"), and that they all meant very much to him.

I highly respect Brian, and if the series continued, wouldn't it be a bit like ruining that family he created?  Just a thought.  I would love the fan fiction to continue, which certainly pays homage to the series without BECOMING the series (important distinction).  But BJ, for however formulaic his books were, had his own inimitable writing style and heart which went into each book.

I'll remind everyone, however, the Tolkien is gone too, yet they still made a huge top level effects, true to the story movie, right?  But that's a conversation for a different thread. :-)

This post just sums up my position perfectly.

You're making the same assumption that everyone else is making. Variation=/=bad.

Daskar, you also appear to keep making the assumption that variation is good.

Where? I'm simply pointing out ways in which variation is good. I'm not saying it is good in 100% of cases, just that it's possible for it to be good.

You're assuming the assumption, Daskar...

I'm sorry but I believe that this topic is getting too serious. Therefore, I believe, we need some randomness to lift the mood some.

Weasels!

And now back to the topic..

Well done, O Master of the Weasels! And yes, back to the topic.... ahem.

I would like to see Redwall remain at 22 books. It's a good number, and I think it has enough content to fuel discussions here for the next 10 years.

I would not, however, be opposed to someone else continuing the Castaways series.

I'm not the Master of the Weasels, their the Masters of the world. (I'd say how many worlds that they were the Masters of, but I'd prefer to not get any threats from certain creatures about giving away secrets to their conquest of...well.....never mind!
