Poll: Transfigure... fan-fiction??

Hey TFers!  Transfigure seems to hold a special place in the imaginations and hearts of readers, a fact I am quite proud of.  I often receive really encouraging messages from all over the world and readers are intrigued by a variety of situations, characters, and routes.  Transfigure also seems very popular among Scandinavian and German people and lots of other groups that don't have English as their primary language.  I am not sure why this is the case but it is interesting.  Perhaps we are transcending language barriers?

Anyway, I received a lot of ideas and suggestions over the past few months but recently I got an offer from a Spanish novelist that wants to help write more stories for Transfigure.  She loves the project.  Apparently some folk are already beginning to write Transfigure fan fiction, filling in my empty ends with their own imagination!

Honestly, I am kind of torn on this...  It is very flattering but makes me a bit uncomfortable too.  On one side, like with Student Transfer, it doesn't really seem to matter if a project has eight authors or w/e since I played through a lot of it and I very rarely noticed when the author changed unless the style differences were more glaring.  The rest of the independent stories are in a separate section from the main game and that seems to work. It seems with a shared cast of characters it isn't that hard for a new author to insert themselves into the game world as long as they are familiar with the story and a good writer.  

Quality wise, I always want it to be very good at the minimum.  That level is always something I have aimed for and why I spend a lot of time polishing and editing.  With this author being a non native English speaker, it means that the writing is less fluent than in their mother tongue, although probably still better than the vast majority of real English speakers/writers...  I requested that they write a little demo for us.

Transfigure by Tango & Friends doesn't quite have the same ring to it either, heh.  

So I would definitely like some opinions.

So the question is: Do you think I should let others write stories for Transfigure?

Please let me know what you think.
