I'm a little sad in that it's nice to see people get so excited about books. I'm really not sad in that it means that I can finally stomach the fandom. I found it very hard to really get into the fanfiction, knowing that it could all be rendered AU without notice. I've had little plotbunnies nibble at me, but I have never even gotten to the point of opening a word processing document to type so much as an idea, because I knew it was relatively futile.
(For reference, the only fandom I've really written is LotR, so I tend to operate exclusively in closed canons. All y'alls with your TV fandoms are nucking futs.)
