August first we kick off the first ever Annual Stranger Things Competition! This season is titled "Mike's Secret," and as you can probably guess, the prompt is a little something about Mike :)

For This Season:

Prompt: Mike is keeping a secret -- a BIG secret

Registration: Begins August first and closes October tenth (link: https://forms.gle/KwB17NzCTmg9FYQdA )

The event is happening on our favourite website, Ao3! It's listed under "collections" or on the accounts RumInTheFandom and moldyfries (but the link is here for you anyways: https://archiveofourown.org/collections/StrangerThingsComp26_Mikes_Secret )

This event is a COMPETITION! Don't press any deceiving "sign up" buttons, simply press "add to collection" after completing the registration Google Form and the judges will accept it into the collection

Please read ALL of the rules and FAQ, located on the collection profile's designated pages, before entering!

More details can be found on the collection profile

Results will be announced between December 30th and January 5th, 10th at the very latest

I'll be keeping you guys updated on the comp from this account, but our other judge this season, moldyfries, will be doing the same thing via their Tumblr account [ moldyfriesofficial ]!

Guys I need writing prompts for madwheeler Stranger Things! Will post on ao3 and possibly Wattpad...details down there

-Posting platonic/romantic madwheeler (Max Mayfield x Mike Wheeler, Stranger Things)

-I will collect prompts and make a seperate post that's just a poll for y'all to vote on the best prompts and i'll write for the top three

-The 3 people's prompts that get selected can choose to be credited or stay anonymous

-I do not do NSFW content, but i'm fine with flirting and kissing and angst and blah blah, just no smut!

-I would prefer the prompts to be sentences (ex. "You look awful.", "Jesus you are a stick up my ass.", etc.) but they can come in different formats as well (ex. 'Mike gets a flat tire and Max helps him walk his bike home', 'Mike finds out why Max goes to Ms. Kelly', etc.)

-The theme is whump :)

I. SHIP. AO3 X TUMBLR

I will sink with it, i will die on that hill, i will go down with it, i will fall for it, i will kill for it, it is my life

Istg the overuse of mc plot armour is more than a little excessive with Mike-

I haven’t finished S3 or started S4 so correct me if I’m wrong but is Mike NOT the only member of the gang *let alone the party* not to experience some horrible physical/mental trauma?? I mean, El is obvious both physically and mentally, Dustin got trapped in a Russian lab, Hopper-we don’t talk about Hopper and how he mopes about his death daughter and shit, Joyce lost her son and then lowkey tortured him (S2 when she burned the Mind Flayer outta him), Murray getting caught up in all the weird shit going down and watching his friend die (R.I.P Alexi), Max being abused by her family and then almost dying (got that spoiled, again correct me if I’m wrong), Steve and Robin ALSO getting kidnapped by Russians plus getting drugged and almost tortured (Steve got beat up already before the torture), Nancy almost getting eaten by the fleshy goop and having her best friend die, Jonathan…dealing with a paranoid, batshit-crazy mother and a missing, then possessed brother, uhhhhh who am I missing-ERICA. A TEN YEAR OLD getting trapped with evil Russians ALSO, wait wtf how have I not done Will already he got KIDNAPPED and HID IN A TOXIC ALTERNATE DIMENSION and then POSSESSED and then TRAUMATIZED and left behind by The Party and all that crazy shit and am I missing someone…OH THAT KID you know the the the b-ERICA’S BROTHER THAT GUY um heeeeee….probably has a hidden smt 😭😭

Anyways back to the point: wtf did Mike go through-experienced the Upside Down, saw some monsters, saw his friends risk their lives, lose their lives, saw people go corrupt, get attacked by that weird worm in the vine tunnels (S2), forced to commit suicide….yeah no none of that compares to any other gang member’s trauma except for Erica’s brother who doesn’t count ‘cause I don’t even remember his name 💀

Another fic to read on Ao3! This one contains a shit ton of trigger warnings though, so be careful! Make sure to read the tags and chapter notes :)

Summary:

Katsuki wakes up and immediately knows his life is going to be complete hell from there on out. It’s just a little extra flare to prove him right when he realizes class 1-A is trapped in UA alone with horrible monsters as a game for ‘the fourth wall’ to enjoy. Have a great day folks, and Plus Ultra!

plus…

ultra…?
