Personally, I think half the fun of writing such stories is to take into account and build on what people before you have written. The other half of the fun is to lay the premises for the imagination of the next writer. Write stuff in there that makes room for plenty of possible outcomes. I guess bad follow-ups can't solely be blamed on the follow-up writer, but also on the poor premises laid by the previous writer.

Ehh, hey, I gave it a shot, even though I only wrote one thing (under the Warlord story)... Maybe I'll do more when I'm in the mood.
