I think it's pretty awesome that a well-known author has officially and enthusiastically embraced the MUD medium (i.e., sanctioned and collaborated). Sure, there's WoT, Tolkein and Discworld MUDs, but I don't think the authors view them as much more than fan sites, much less encouraging them and providing background material. I often read books and think they'd make for a neat MUD. Mercedes Lackey's Valdemar would be awesome (wasn't there a popular Valdemar MUD at one point), and so too would Steven Erikson's Malazan series (which I have a love-hate relationship with), Piers Anthony's Adept series (yeah, yeah, everyone loves Xanth), and Jacqueline Carey's Kushiel world (though all characters would probably be courtesans!).

Hmm, what other novels would make for neat MUDs?
