not my tweet or my fic (and thereβs a good chance of this comment being a bot) but yeah, donβt do this. sure, some writers wouldnβt 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 someoneβs fanfic, YOU POLITELY ASK THE WRITER FOR THEIR PERMISSION. not their readers.
also 5 months isnβt long at all. 5 months is 5 minutes when it comes to fanfics. Iβve waited years for my favorite fics to get updated (one of my favorite fanfics was updated by the author after 13 years) and Iβve never said anything to them about βitβs been ___ years, I donβt think it will get updated anymoreβ. because another fandom / fanfic etiquette is that fanfic writers write for free in their free time, they donβt owe you anything. maybe they will update one day. maybe they wonβt. if you want your favorite fic to get updated, you comment something like βthis is good!! Iβm excited for what happens nextβ and maybe your positive comment will motivate the author to update. but you donβt say βitβs been ___ months or yearsβ. fanfics writers write for themselves and their own enjoyment. theyβre just kind enough to let you read their works for free. stop being rude and entitled to fanfic writers.
