If anybody could help with this

Hi!

I'm relatively new here, and first of all let me just say that this is an amazing site with amazing content by amazing users.

Speaking of amazing content, I found a pretty cool TL, but it has been dead for over 6 years. Is there any way at all to revive it? Thanks.
 
Depends what the timeline is.

If I were you, I would inquire with the creator of the TL, but chances are if it's been face down in the Sea of Time for six years, then they aren't interested in continuing it. If you get no reply, or approval from the creator, then I would say it's fair game for you to write a new version of the same TL, or continue from where it left off.
 
I've asked this question before and was told not to interact with the old TL without permission of the author. Doing a spinoff from a certain point was okay. Doing a new version of the old TL was...well it's not like a mod told me I'd get in trouble, there was just a somewhat vague assertion that it would be not-good to rewrite someone else's story. I don't know what anyone could actually do to you. I've seen people kicked and banned for passing stuff off as their own. I don't know what they'd do if you straight-up admitted that some of your content was not yours. In fact I've got an entire 300-page TL sitting on my hard drive that I won't publish here (or anywhere) because the idea is based on a TL written by a dormant user who I can't get in touch with for permission.

I would definitely make sure you ask a mod first, depending on what you specifically want to do. Best of luck!
