I think that most fiction authors probably consider their work a form of art. Creative control and self-expression are probably the main reasons. I've considered co-writing a scifi with my little brother as we're very like-minded in that space, but I am not likely to ever consider anyone else - I'm not interested in just producing something, I want to use my creativity to make something unique.

Once you start outsourcing any part of your work, it's likely to become a product rather than art.
