Because books.
Pastiche is more an imitation of style, not a new exploration of story elements.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I'm trying to think of the fancy word given to stuff like Wicked and the Jane Austen spinoffs, and not coming up with it, though.
All I can think of is midrash, but that's specific to the Jewish scriptures, right?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
That's two different stories, though they're part of the same series by the same author.
I read them so long ago they have merged into one gloriously wacky AU in my head!

I think so, although I saw lots of people giving that name to The Red Tent.

Is there any published "literary" fic based on a source material still under copyright? All the ones I can think of are riffing on public domain material, which obviously makes a huge difference when you're trying to get paid for it.

There was the continuation of Gone With the Wind, and the V.C. Andrews stuff (and some Ludlum, I believe), but I don't know if you want to call that "literary".

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I think "unpublished" is part of what makes something fic.
Granted, that line is starting to blur... and the differences between "published" "self published" "small press" "on the web" and a dozen other incrimentals are a shift that we likely won't be coming back from any time soon.
But, to the extent that it can still be used, "Published" "fic" is something more like an homage or an "in the style of" or a licensing arrangement. "Fan Fiction" is more like something written by fans to amuse themselves and their friends.

There was the authorized sequal to Gone with the Wind, but there was also "The Wind Done Gone" from the POV of the slaves/freed slaves, right?

Yeah, aside from some stuff that was contracted, I can't think of many of those types of books that aren't based on out-of-copyright classics.
