An abused child is one way of describing Universal's relationship toward Galactica over the years. Or an absentee landlord that lets a once great piece of architecture decay for decades and doesn't have it refurbished and when loyal enthusiasts band together and get it restored, Universal then decides it's going to turn the property into a completely different kind of building entirely. The analogies are endless.
On the novels, Richard just needed a fanfic author to act not necessarily as a co-author, but as a story editor who could have stopped potential problems right in their tracks.
