Re: Callahan's
I've sent a question about this to Spider through his publisher. The publisher gave me a preliminary response of (paraphrased) "yeah, no problem, just give Spider his props". It could be Spider himself has changed his position. In my copy of The Callahan Chronicles omnibus he seems to be gung-ho about fanfiction, so we'll see.
OTOH, you could always do one of Piers Anthony's works. He's given carte blanche under those terms. --
