Yeah, but 40 years ago you wouldn't be saying 'gosh what I really need is a good munchkin HP/D&D crossover!'

You'd be saying something like, 'that P.G. Wodehouse/Piers Anthony/etc., what a hilarious writer! If only he'd write his next book faster!' or 'I'm really looking forward to the new anthology of G.K Chesterton's uncollected Father Brown tales!'

EDIT: Thanks for ninjaing your comment so my response looks like a complete non sequitur. -_-

I'd STILL like Wodehouse to write a few more. Unfortunately...
