Hi there! I'm so glad you gave this fic a chance and dropped in. Thank you for your kind words, it really made me smile. And what praise you shower! THANK YOU <3
Yes, the characterisation! (Happy you like it.) It was a little worrying at first, to write in a fandom that has the main cast aged-up to at most college age, but I'm literally on the verge of 30 and have sadly forgotten what it's like to be a young adult... No, actually, no--I just don't want to remember. LOL.
I hope the new chapter delivers. Thank you for saying 'please take your time', you don't know how much that means to me! It's awfully nice of you. Unfortunately I'm so hung up on the idea of 'THIS HAS TO BEAT SEASON TWO BY MONTHS, AT LEAST' and seriously, I'm trying to power through the rest of it.
I hope to see you around. Have a pleasant day, and thank you for taking the time to read and comment!
I've seen a few fics where the characters are aged up to their 40s. Its rare, but they're out there. But often times the characterisation falls a bit flat. You do it beautifully here!
I think diversity is what makes fandom great. Imaginative, out of the box fics like this is what I live for!
I'm 26 myself, I understand what you mean about forgetting what it's like to be young. Haha. You injecting parts of your own life into the fic gives it realism and I cannot wait for more.
I don't think you're capable of producing a chapter that disappoints. ;) I understand the urgency to want to get a fic done before a new season comes out. New seasons can mess with canon details big time.
But there's no release date for season 2 yet and most estimates say it'll be out in the summer in the US so I'm guessing around July, like the first season. So you'll have plenty of time right? Unless you're planning a 20 to 30 chapter epic?
Oh my, you and your kind words. You know, I haven't seen those 'old character' fics! Then again, I haven't read much Stranger Things fan-fiction; I've just skimmed through a few on the first few pages to get a feel of the writing culture, the common tropes, etc. I've taken the liberty to check out your bookmarks; I'm very interested to read those!
To be very honest, I started writing this piece of fiction on a whim, a COMPLETE whim, and I keep thinking it's a one-time thing that I'm writing for Stranger Things because this one's really quite epic, and I've put all my other fics on hold for it. I mainly write for another fandom (Japanese, lots of real-person slash), and I have so many commitments on that side that if I get my finger further in this pie, I'll probably never finish anything for that fandom, ever. Haha.
I'm 29 this year, and honestly up till 28 I really didn't think it was a big deal that 30 was looming, but all of a sudden it's like OMG I'M TURNING 30 WHUT. Haha. I don't dread it, not exactly, but I'm quite anxious!
Y'know I watched the Superbowl trailer and I was already praying throughout: 'Don't ruin the fic please don't ruin the fic!!!' HAHA. That's why I'm really hoping to finish this fic ASAP. And once again, thank you for the praise--it's an honour to be writing for discerning readers like you.
I'm planning 22 chapters! It's all outlined and I have to add some characters to the roster (Joyce, namely) but I really can't wait to show it to you guys. Hope it doesn't turn out too convoluted.
I will most definitely be constantly updating soon! Writing like a fiend! Acing these keyboard sports!
