Just settling for lesser works because "obviously nobody could ever write the same quality of fiction ever again" strikes me as completely unrealistic. Of course, there's somebody out there who is capable of it, just as they were.The question really is the sort of fiction WotC wants to publish, what kind of editorial supervision and revisions of the works exist, and what their aims actually are: whether to promote and increase the literary quality of the works, or rather to make the books fit some cookie-cutter marketing slots in a business strategy which doesn't have anything to do literature, whatsoever? One doesn't have to settle for mediocrity.</blockquote>
