not my tweet or my fic (and thereās a good chance of this comment being a bot) but yeah, donāt do this. sure, some writers wouldnāt mind having fanfics (or direct continuation) of their fanfics written by someone else. some may even be thrilled and happy. but the fandom etiquette is that if you want to write a fanfic or a continuation of someoneās fanfic, YOU POLITELY ASK THE WRITER FOR THEIR PERMISSION. not their readers.
also 5 months isnāt long at all. 5 months is 5 minutes when it comes to fanfics. Iāve waited years for my favorite fics to get updated (one of my favorite fanfics was updated by the author after 13 years) and Iāve never said anything to them about āitās been ___ years, I donāt think it will get updated anymoreā. because another fandom / fanfic etiquette is that fanfic writers write for free in their free time, they donāt owe you anything. maybe they will update one day. maybe they wonāt. if you want your favorite fic to get updated, you comment something like āthis is good!! Iām excited for what happens nextā and maybe your positive comment will motivate the author to update. but you donāt say āitās been ___ months or yearsā. fanfics writers write for themselves and their own enjoyment. theyāre just kind enough to let you read their works for free. stop being rude and entitled to fanfic writers.
