Re: Someone just commented they're tempted to finish one of my fics....

I'm one of the anons who think it would be hypocritical, or at the very least petty, of you to try to stop this other person. (Yes, there are more than one of us.)

But I will say this: what this other anon is doing strikes me as really poor etiquette. I can't imagine thinking to myself, "I'm going to jump in in the middle of this person writing their story, and finish it in my own way!" If this person weren't being rude, they would wait until you've finished posting your story before they started posting their own, alternate continuation.

I suppose you could try explaining to them in a PM that it will be hard for you to focus on your own version of the story if you're trying to write it at the same time as they're posting their version. But I still feel that they are perfectly within their rights to ignore you and do it anyway, no matter how rude that is.

Also, I'm curious whether you've been updating your story slowly and taking a long time to finish it? Because if so, this person might be attempting to passive aggressively punish you for it by hijacking your story. Which is super rude of them, I'm definitely not arguing that. But it's fanfic of your fanfic, so...them's the breaks, basically.

Though if you go several months between updates, then...yeah, sorry, but all bets are off. Several months between updates is pretty much as good as abandoned. In which case I completely understand why someone might want to jump in and invent their own closure.

I'm always slow to update, and this specific fic is on hold, so I do understand - but yeah.
