Multiply Authored Works
TV series.
Comic book universes.
Superhero movieverses. (I have just seen Avengers: Endgame.)
A future history with a single creator but multiple contributors.
Despite a few contributions in Multiverse, Poul Anderson's Technic History remains essentially a single author future history. However, it was published from January 1951 to 1985. Over thirty five years, Anderson created a series that is as substantial, complex and interconnected as if it had been multiply authored.
It is late here and I want to post about Avengers over on Comics Appreciation and will also have to drive one of Sheila's friends home.
Keep reading.
Slightly later: See here.

Kaor, Paul!
And with the consent, and probable URGING of Jerry Pournelle and Larry Niven, Poul Anderson wrote contributions to their Co-Dominium and Known Space timelines.
I found Stirling's contribution to PA's Time Patrol series "A Slip in Time" much more satisfactory and convincing than the contribution to the Technic series in MULTIVERSE.
