Is it true that J Roth and his team came up with the basic concept and paid Morgan to write a book on that idea to have alongside the show? The idea belongs to Alloy Entertainment. They came up with the title "The Hundred" and with the idea of 100 delinquents being sent to Earth. Afterwards, the company paid Kass Morgan to write the books. Note that the book copyright belongs to Alloy, not Morgan (unlike most published books which belong to the author). Before the first book was published, JR started working with Alloy on the TV adaptation. It's unclear if the similarities between TV & books are due to those characters/ideas being part of Alloy's original idea / basic plot or if JR communicated with Morgan.
