What if P. was Ghost-Written?

[Don Higgins]

What if someone wrote all the Chums of Chance books to which we are referred in AtD?
I think I'd read that, or at least glance through them, maybe give them to my son.

Do you ghost-write Pynchon already?

Let us suppose in good humor that a new book by Pynchon is published in April 2013, it's perhaps a Step Down from I.V., another detective novel, set in California, etc. 

Now let us suppose Christmastime brings a Travels of Reverend Cherrycoke, an appalling piece of rubbish imitating P. but pleasing in all the guiltiest ways, the story, poorly written as it is,

has some of the same Imaginative spark in which Pynchon's work is so deeply immersed.
How would you feel? 
What would your reactions be?
Would you Ghost-Write Pynchon, if he were Cool with the Idea?
