It's always
"When will fanfic writers update their stories?"
And never
"Does this fanfic writer have adequate enrichment to engage in writing behaviours?"
Fanfiction writers (Scriptor fictus) are intelligent animals who need plenty of enrichment as well as encouragement! If they're stuck in poor conditions (e.g. have studies, work, have to actually write to have something written) then they require the proper enrichment to engage in more healthy behaviours, like writing. Remember, due to poor breeding and socialisation, over half of all fanfic writers suffer from low self confidence and executive dysfunction so take care of them!
Give your fanfic writers proper care. Fanfiction writers are a life long commitment.

We don’t talk enough about how fanfiction writers love to give character large amounts of non-specific paperwork they hate doing

Rant about Peter Pettigrew and JK's Shit Writing
I hate how he is portrayed because, in my opinion, it just doesn't align with the backstory we have.
Let me preface, I am not a Golden Trio HP fan, but a Marauders fan. So, a lot of my takes and characterisations are heavily fanon-influenced, especially since a lot of the characters I write/read about we know very little of. To add, the characters we do see and interact with in the books are the grown, traumatised versions of themselves. Naturally, as adolescents, before the first war, Azkaban, the death of all their friends, the birth of their children, etcetera, they'd behave differently.
Onto Peter. Peter is one of the biggest cowards and lowlives in the HP universe. He's so heavily devoted to Voldemort despite being pissless-scared of him and doesn't hold a damn candlelight to nearly any of the characters in terms of bravery, strength, or the ability to hide his intentions and cowardice.
On that note, we're supposed to believe he managed to trick two of the smartest students at Hogwarts into changing him to Secret Keeper over Sirius or Remus, who we see as much more competent, brave, and intelligent as well as loyal? Really? That he'd managed to trick so many people into believing that Sirius betrayed them?
It would make more sense, then, to have Peter be a much more secretive, deceptive character. To be written with a backbone. (I read once that someone envisioned Peter to sort of be like Oliver from Saltburn. Mousy, quiet, but incredibly smart, sly, and manipulative.)
This is just one of my many gripes with JK Rowling's writing, though. If not for the nostalgia, or had I read Harry Potter at this age, I doubt I would've liked it as much. The world-building is poor, the characters' ambitions are screwed, and Harry, for some-fucking-reason, chooses to become a Wizard Cop despite all the atrocities he went through. He names his kid after SNAPE?! All because the man loved his mother? And then DUMBLEDORE?! Who is as awful, if not worse, of a villain than Voldemort.
It's a kid series, I understand, but I wish there were more consitencies with the characters.
Edit:
It's been so long since I read the series so I've been corrected. Again, I'm a Mauraders fan so I have a different perspective and analysis of the characters.
It was Sirius who made the decision to switch the Keeper to being Peter. Golden Trio fans see Peter as a character that just never resonated with the Marauders and used them as shields, but I find that narrative hard to believe simply because of where I am in the fandom.
I like how @fanfic-lover-girl explained it in their reblog.
I still don't like how he was written. I do think his appeal is in how weak he is, but I feel like that weakness only falls into cowardice. I think I'm also being hypercritical because I don't like JKR and the plot devices/holes.
Still agree with the sentiment of fuck JKR, though.

Heartbreak (StarChaser Ed.)
*Regulus and James sitting under the star by the lake* James: You know I think I've fallen in love with you Regulus: Very funny, James. James: I'm not fibbing. Regulus: Stop it, Potter. I'm not in the mood for your little pranks, alright. *James faces Regulus, frustrated* James: I'm being serious, Reg. *Regulus faces him back* Regulus: Then take it back James: Take it back? Regulus: Take it back. James: I can't take it- Regulus: Take. It. Back. *Regulus eyes are cold. James feels like crying.* James: No. I love you. You cannot change that. Regulus: Like hell you do. *James stands up angrily, Regulus going with him.* James: I DO. Regulus: DON'T. YOU CAN'T. James: What is wrong with you? Regulus: I am not made to be loved, James. You may be a Gryffindor but you are not that brave. James: What does that mean? Regulus: What I said? You think you can love me? You think you can stand in between Sirius and me and choose me? James: What does Sirius have to do with anything? Regulus: You do not love me, James Potter. You cannot love me. I'm rotten. James: You are not- Regulus: I am rotten and you know it, but you think it's okay. Still, in the end, you will always choose people who are pure and good all over. Who learn to be. People like Sirius. James: - Regulus: You do not love me. James: I- Regulus: You do not love me. James: Alright. Regulus: Alright? James: Alright. Regulus: Good. *Regulus walks up to James and gently folds down his collar* Regulus: You're too good to love something rotten, Jamie. Too good. *Regulus walks away. James falls to his knees, face wet with tears.* James: I love you.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but as a creator -
I am fine with "the audience" -
downloading my fics
printing my fics
copy/pasting or screenshotting my fics
sharing your saved copy of my fics with anyone else who might want them in the unlikely but never impossible case that my fics are no longer available on ao3
making a book of my fic(s) and running your fingers across the pages while lovingly whispering my precioussss
doing these things with anything I create for fandom, such as meta, headcanons, au nonsense like 'texts from the brodinsons,' etc
I am not fine with "the audience"
doing any of the above with the purpose/intent of plagiarizing my work or passing it off as their own in any capacity
feeding my work into ai for any reason whatsoever
Save the fandom things. Preserve the fandom things. Respect the fandom things.
Enjoy the fandom things.
