No, but generally I don't have to buy a dozen books to get the whole story
out of Stephen or Dean.  Furthermore, I purchase novels to enjoy a story as
an observer.  Gaming is a much more active form of entertainment.  The
problem with meta-plot stories is that they either force campaigns to
progress at the rate of publication (with lots of filler in between), or
create campaigns that diverge further from the meta-plot with each new
supplement.
