Over a decade ago I ran a Buffy the Vampire Slayer RPG game set in Averoigne which took as its point of origin that Fleurette from “Rendezvous in Averoigne” was actually a Slayer and that the story as written was the narrator’s self protecting story.

In science fiction, so much of what is "classic" was essentially written for one man: John W. Campbell, the editor of the pre-eminent US SF magazine. Even the stuff published elsewhere, because it was often sent to him first. Think on what it means to have a whole genre filtered through one dude.
