Re: Is it ever okay to ask if you can finish someone's WIP for them?

I do this all the time in my head. Particularly with one-shots and open ended fic. Sometimes I'll write down base ideas and structure it all out, but (as with most all of my fic writing attempts) it pretty much sticks to this stage.

I had a pretty bad cold not too long ago and was half delirious from that and the fact I couldn't sleep and ended up imagining a whole scene-by-scene continuation for one of my favourite fics from 10PM to 7AM. It became a fix-it of sorts (for events that happen later on in canon) and the only reason I stopped is because I couldn't exactly remember the order of the canon itself... I still think about it even though I've forgotten a lot of it after I got over my cold. If I do ever manage to write/finish anything it would probably be that, tbh.

I'd say your best bet is to write it out/finish it, and maybe send it to the author (or a rough plan of what you want to happen) to see if they like it. That way they know you have something solid to go on and can off offer ideas that they planned to have happen to help. If they say no, and you still want to post it you can alter it so that it's inspired by their fic (or exists in the same universe) though not necessarily the continuation you were hoping to make.
