Readerly Insanity

Dear Robin McKinley,

It isn't even remotely fair for you to create such vivid, fascinating, and often funny universes, leave loose ends lying about at the ends of stories, build up shadows of mythologies which you never delve deeply enough into, generally Not Write Sequels--and then forbid fanfiction. It just isn't. 

Sincerely,

A Disgruntled Reader

And not only do I want to write fanfiction, after re-reading Spindle's End and Sunshine and being generally immersed in various McKinleyverses, but I want to read it. She has so many interesting little bits here and there that could be developed further, and I wouldn't be able to think of or pick up on them all. At the moment I want to read and write fic so badly that I am nearly ready to shout very loudly or throw books at the wall (my library copies are hardcover; it would be deeply satisfiying). 

ARGH.
