After listening to Spider Robinson talk about working on Variable Star, and Brian Sanderson talk about working on book 12 of The Wheel of Time, it got me thinking...

If one your favorite creators (or their estate) contacted you about a collaboration, who would you want it to be? How would you react? Would you be co-writing with an author? Creating art for a book or CD? Creating music to go with a novel? Something else?

Doc Smith's Estate, to do Final Lensman.

Except I'd need the jets to swing that load, and I don't think I come close.

I've only read snippets of Smith's work, but I have to say... I think you're closer than you think.

If Elvis Costello or Andy Partridge of XTC called me and asked to collaborate, I'd probably fall to my knees like Wayne and Garth in Wayne's World and go, "I'M NOT WORTHY! I'M NOT WORTHY!" But I'd be overjoyed to co-write, produce, or perform on any of their albums. Aimee Mann as well.

According to Spider Robinson's podcast, that was pretty much his reaction when the Heinlein estate asked him to finish Variable Star.

I don't doubt it -- Spider's devotion to Heinlein makes most Heinlein fans seem tame.
