Re: A lot of tie-in novels are... not great.
(I kept my Star Wars spin-off copies on the same bookcase shelf as my Dostoyevsky, I remember a non-fandom friend coming into my place and wrinkling up her mouth in disapproval at that, which amused me so much.)
But mostly tie-ins are very poor. And let's not even mention the tie-in games - which sink down to abominable. But both are moneyspinners, which is why they exist.
Wasn't there some sci-fi TV series a few years ago where it was leaked that the budget for the series was 30%, with 70% of the money earmarked for tie-in games, novelisations and assorted other merchandise?

(Anonymous) 2014-01-25 01:18 am (UTC)(link)Yes, they were.
I can't recall anything about a sci-fi series where that happened (most get sort of shafted on their budgets anyway), but I wouldn't be surprised.
