This might not be a popular opinion, but I agree. Why would people even ask this? It's one thing if you want to go and write an ending for your favorite unfinished fic just for your own entertainment but why would you contact the author and ask, as if you want it to be official? It's a big ask to want someone's blessing and you put them in an awkward position.

If it were me, I'd just ignore the request. Like fine, go and do it if you want, but it's got nothing to do with me. I'm hardly going to endorse some internet rando writing an ending to my fic.

When people ask, are they actually asking for it to be official? imo, they're just asking if they can finish it, not looking for any sort of endorsement or 'blessing', like OP said, they don't want their finished if it's going to be shitty. It's rude to just take over someones fic, so I would imagine they're asking for permission out of common decency.

How is asking and receiving permission from the author not official?

[(Anonymous)]

By asking they're just asking if they can post it, I assume. If they send you the fic word for word and ask for your mark of approval, that would be asking for it to be official. In asking the author can say, 'sure, but don't call it official'. By asking they're letting the author make the call.
Hell, posting the ending of a fic that isn't yours, not asking, and linking the fic like the anon below would do is no less official than if they had asked. They're just taking away the opportunity for the author to say no

If the writer does end up saying something like 'this is official because I asked' then at least the author knows where to look in order to correct them.

I agree with it too. Maybe I'm feeling called out because I have several years-ago abandoned WIPs, lol.
