Are you aware that Neil Gaiman, in Neverwhere, used the line: "The sky was the perfect untroubled blue of a television screen, tuned to a dead channel." In response to Gibson, of course. But it is also interesting that the author themselves needn't be the one to revise the work. We already do this in a lighter sense when various editors produce various editions of a book by a writer. It would be interesting if we, essentially, exploded IP claims on characters and let people publish their fan fiction.
