That was my first thought, too. I have seen anons leaving condescending comments that an author got X wrong and completely misrepresented Y and anyway they should stop writing fic until they've read the books at least. They finished this off with something along the lines of 'I'm telling ou this to help you!'

As long as they don't bother writers I'm sympathetic; I understand that it is frustrating to have this surge of new fanworks in your fandom that is often completely at odds with the canon you know. But it's inevitable now - I've only watched the show, but from what I've read on the internet it added things (e.g. the magical eels in Aretuza and the orgy scene), changed characters and relationships (Triss is less likeable, I'm told, and Geralt very openly cares about Dandelion while show!Geralt spends the entire 20 years of their friendship acknowledging hm as a friend), and both of these are canon. Many show!writers also like to pick and choose which bits of book and game canon they incorporate to flesh out their stories, so there are hybrid stories everywhere.

That said, power to everyone who refuses to do any research. I only wanted to look up how to write Duny's real name and found out something about him that is bound to be a huge twist in the show.
