I suppose I understand Gabaldon's feelings, but a) she went about explaining it insultingly and b) no one is stealing.

I love fanfiction, and I'm proud to admit it. People have been doing this from the beginning of time, right? And for basically the reasons that you outlined above--we love it and want to explore it further than the author's taken us. No disrespect to the author, because without them we wouldn't have it to play with, but it's human nature to want MORE.

I'd be interested to know her feelings on things like Tracy Chevalier's "Girl With A Pearl Earring" which is basically published fan fiction based on a painting.

And also: stay dry and safe and YIKES :(
