Not to my knowledge, but on the other hand-- broad strokes of the plot aside, he doesn't seem to know how it's supposed to continue from here.

Again, what's the evidence for that?

Mind you, my idea of "funny" would be an April Fools article about how the series would be completed by a collaboration by Spider Robinson and Piers Anthony.

Robinson is notorious for wrangling stories through contortions to produce happy endings which are extremely unlikely given the original setup. Anthony is notorious for starting series well and then driving them down, down, down in quality, then further down, then adding a few more sequels to continue the trend. And very weak word play which he thinks of as "puns". And a fetish about girls' panties in young-adult books. And this concept that his protagonists' utter nobility of character and integrity will always be rewarded by success. And then writing some more terrible sequels.
