1I suggest instead that you write, "I am a great fan of Shakespeare and the writings of Enid Blyton." – Mark Hubbard Dec 16 '19 at 16:45

Does this answer your question? "Nikki's and Alice's X" vs. "Nikki and Alice's X" (Nikki and Alice obviously predating Shakespeare and Enid Blyton.) This hinges on joint vs individual possession (or, as here, broader ownership, and grading to mere association). – Edwin Ashworth Dec 16 '19 at 16:48
