Will Byers is planning the school's stall in the Hawkins Holiday Festival, which showcases art from his students, amongst which is his old friend's little sister, Holly Wheeler.

mike is a novelist. will is an art teacher. shenanigans ensue. they kiss at some point.

i got a set of comments on my (incomplete) fic, complaining about how certain plot points hadn’t been resolved, saying i needed to add more drama (despite the fact that’s not the focal point of my primarily fluff fic) and calling it unrealistic, saying that my plot basically didn’t have enough conflict for their liking.

i think some readers need to remember that authors don’t write specifically for them. yeah, it’s nice when people enjoy the writing you make for them, but when they act like they’re entitled to a piece of writing catered directly to them, and then coming across as quite rude and unsatisfied in comment sections, it’s actually fairly disheartening.

what really got me about these comments was that the person had some valid points, some of which ARE resolved in the final chapters, but instead of phrasing it as something to think about or as a suggestion, they wrote it as a demand with an implication that my writing wasn’t good enough because it hasn’t met their expectations.

i’ve deleted the comments because they actually knocked my confidence a bit, but my point still stands.

fic writers put so much effort into creating content for fandoms, and if you’re not a fan of that content or you feel it’s lacking, its good to remember that these people are giving you free entertainment that they put a lot of care into. to make disparaging comments about something they clearly spent time on does nothing except discourage authors from putting out new content that some other people in the fandom might enjoy.

yall already know what time it is 🗣️🗣️

on a more personal note

hi guys!! it’s effie :) this is the first fic im putting out which is super scary for me

this was purely self indulgent so if anyone else reads it and likes it that’s just a bonus

all the chapters are already written and i’ll post one everyday until it’s all out

the first chapter isn’t all that because it’s all exposition but i PROMISE all my others get better

anyway thank you for even reading this bit of the post ❤️❤️
