That seems incredibly disrespectful to the author

I'm not gonna do it but how is it "incredibly disrespectful" to use one of their characters for a bot ?

Maybe I didn't word it the best, but why?

Because you suggest violating (ok, maybe a harsh term - let's say 'fiddling with') someone else's intellectual property? I mean, sure, if you miss the story - there's always fan art. Write some fanfic, draw an art - find a way to make a tribute to the author and show your love for the story in legal ways, without, you know, copypasting and reusing (=stealing?) whole parts of it. I'm not fully sure if it can be considered an actual crime - using someone else's creations the way you suggest, if it is for your personal purposes only, but it sure as hell sounds ethically wrong.

Yeah personal use, but to be fair its been years since the story has even been touched. It would make a lot more sense if I did something like that to an author that has an ongoing project but as far as we can tell, this one is completely abandoned. I can see where you're coming from though.

literally what? Its not like their taking credit for their work. People do it for anime characters and shows all the time
