[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: [QB] The Kziniti are a whole seperate can of worms. They are the property of a (Niven?) Science Fiction writer that was friends with Roddenberry and allowed him to use his creation in a TAS episode. Niven was not working for Gene: he had already written several novels in the Man/Kzin Wars storyline. It was more like a crossover than anything else and nobody got screwed or anything. Lovecraft and his pals did the same thing while refrencing things that happened in one another's stories as if they were events that actually happened. It's one of the reasons the Chuthlu mythos works so well. Stephen King and Peter Sraub still do this. When Gene used his pal's characters there was no "Corperate Mentalaty" like today....and I doubt either realized the fame their creations would bring them. ;) [/QB][/QUOTE]
