Editorial Fiction is the writing process whereby the author uses words, phrases, sentences, and paragraphs from another author, who's work is either out of copy-write or has given their permission, and crafts them into a new story. The first published examples of this are "Sherlock Holmes and the July Crisis" written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and James Carlopio (2015) and "Painted to Death: A lost novel" by Edgar Allan Poe and James Carlopio (2015). In order to craft a new story from an existing published work, the author has to change various characters and events when necessary, using names and events that are both historically accurate and appropriate given the narrative. The result is a blended type of historical, editorial fiction. It is at the same time “an adaptation and a creation”. If the new work was a song, it would be a re-mix, rather than a cover-tune.
