>Stine's 1996 Publication Agreement stated that he would be the sole writer of each main series book

Oh boy.

>Scholastic alleged that Stine wrote the first sixteen books in the series independently, after which he began to employ freelancers.

I think this was very likely.

>Scholastic accused Stine of allowing freelancers to make a majority of his creative decisions and contributing "minimal" changes.

Doubt it.

>Scholastic went as far as to accuse ghostwriters for the declining popularity of the series.

lmao

>Parachute claimed that they employed freelancers to help create outlines. However, they claimed that the initial concept and final books were written by Stine.

Honestly, I think this was likely the case.

>R.L. Stine's contract with Scholastic for the series Give Yourself Goosebumps did not stipulate that Stine had to be the sole author of the series (unlike Stine's contract for the original Goosebumps series).

Interesting. I also highly doubt Stine wrote any of the GYG or TTGYG books. But Stine recently said he "enjoyed writing the GYG books", so...
