After all, it's fanfic. Or in this case, fanfic of a fanfic. No fanfic writer would inform the canon author if they posted a continuation fic of the original story.

It's still something someone put a lot of hard work in, it's not the same thing as writing fanfic about a show since in fanfic we're all doing this for fun, we're all on the same level. You're not just writing it for yourself, you're going out of your way to post it for everyone to see without the authors consent. It's a shitty and arrogant thing to do.

It honestly sounds like you have some sort of an inferiority complex about writing fanfiction.

Exactly. In fact, creators routinely request that people not make them interact with fanfic in any way, because it creates all sorts of potential conflicts for them. Is their future work going to be influenced by it? Will people think their future work was influenced by it? If they praise it, will that be viewed as endorsing it? If they don't praise it, will that be viewed as snobbery and punching down?

It's better just to leave the creator out of it (unless they request otherwise), so they don't get tangled up in something that isn't their business or their problem.

The only way it makes sense to ask the creator for permission is if you genuinely intend to heed them if they say no. In which case, cool, that's 100% the choice of the person who has written the continuation. I wouldn't ask, because once I'd decided to post it, the author denying me their blessing wouldn't hold much weight, so asking would be disingenuous.
