I agree, largely, with the adoption idea - we are fanfic writers and it should be second nature. However the parallel with AEF is inexact unless the author leaves fandom, because Douglas can't write us any more H2G2, but if you took up my Crossover I would see what you were writing. The dynamic there is challenging in different ways, both for the original author in letting go and in the new author for taking up the baton knowing full well that the original author is still there, and that everyone reading will compare them with the earlier chapters very explicitly.
That said, we spend our time writing stories based around other people's stories. Playing with one anothers' probably should not be so strange an idea.
