* HateSink: Frank. [[spoiler:Despite Greg trying to kill him twice and having zero to no remorse for his actions, his father just all around comes off as far more of a piece of shit because we at least see that deep down Greg ''does'' actually care about Rowley. Frank on the other hand does nothing but threaten to out Greg as bisexual and acts smug even after returning from the hospital and nearly dying. While we only see stuff from Greg's perspective, we do still understand that Frank just really isn't a good father to his children.]]

A DistantFinale was later created, titled ''Fanfic/DiaryOfAWimpyKid75YearsLater'' (Beware that all spoilers from that work will be unmarked, so it's recommended that you view ''25 Years Later'' and ''Rich And Famous'' first).

!Spoilers for ''Fanfic/DiaryOfAWimpyKid25YearsLater'' will be unmarked, Administrivia/YouHaveBeenWarned!

-> "''I don't usually write on this anymore, but there's some stuff That needs to be documented. If this ends up in the hands of anyone but me, there's something you need to know: what you're going to read is nothing like my memoir, it's a journal. That means if you can't handle that, you might as well read something else.''"

''Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rich and Famous'' (Also known as simply ''Rich and Famous'') is a semi-serious ''Literature/DiaryOfAWimpyKid'' fanfic (or as the subreddit calls them, [=LLBs=] (Looks Like Books)) originally made by Website/{{Reddit}} user u/jugdeggrogs for the subreddit [=r/LodedDiper=]. Unlike the author's previous work ''FanFic/DiaryOfAWimpyKid25YearsLater'', this fic sees what happens if he was offered the opportunity to work with Funbrain Games. The trailer for the LLB can be viewed [[https://www.reddit.com/r/LodedDiper/comments/d92fh7/new_llb_trailer/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share here]], and you can start reading it [[https://www.reddit.com/r/LodedDiper/comments/dahjpy/diary_of_a_wimpy_kid_rich_and_famous_prologue/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share/ here.]]

* TheTopicOfCancer: It's revealed in Part 3 that Frank is diagnosed with cancer.
