I am actually so hyped to write my fanfictions now lol. I have slowly been able to carve out more and more time for it after transferring and I have stories I am DESPERATE to tell.... ESPECIALLY after whatever THAT was.
One of them (ASE) is a partial ST3 divergence and a complete divergence from the show after ST3 (Think of it as a No Russians No Vecna alt ST4-5) that I was sorta worried wouldn't be interesting to people but..... well. Yeah. I am not worried anymore about measuring up to any canon material lmao. It's big on non-linear storytelling and time fuckery and keeping the Mindflayer and Upside Down eldritch unknowable horrors and the setting grounded in a time period and (slightly expanded) location. And it has fully fleshed out Jancy and Byler plots as well as core four plots and family plots. Don't wanna spoil too much more. Very very excited.

The other (WOYM) is a post-ST2 slice of life story that just possessed me. It's very focused on the queer experience, self-acceptance, exploring the relationships between family and friends and queer love in the 80s. I just wanted it to be very grounded in the feeling of being in a place, having a history and having to navigate change. It's heavily based off my experiences as a young queer man when I was in high school and after, but also with a very close attention paid to the setting and time period accuracy (I even look up the historical weather data for every single day 😅). I am overhauling the currently posted chapters a little bit (getting an english degree changed my writing style 😅😅) , but yeah I am really excited to continue telling that story as well, it's just so close to my heart. Heavy family relationship focus, Byler is in the forefront. Link (still pending the overhauls that don't change the actual plot but, just a warning lol): https://archiveofourown.org/works/53757112/chapters/136079107
There's others, but those are the two I'm the most excited about and currently working on. Both are fully outlined with endings and arcs firmly established, so I have no reason to quit working on them any time soon. College has unfortunately made me a slow updater, but I'm nearly done and my last semester is fortunately a lot lighter, so I have more time to write. So yeah! Take a look! And remember, Nil Illegitimi Carborundum. We can tell our own stories too, and we will. *mike voice* we will.
