Gonna start Edancy posting over here because they’ve been in my head again recently, but like, they’re so juicy as a pairing, because they wouldn’t be inherently bad for each other, but they would create an infinite feedback loop, and if they’re on a “it’s so over” swing, they would need someone else to pull them out of it, and if they’re on a “we’re so fucking back” kick, they would need someone else to pull them back down to earth.

So we have two characters who are able to provide something to the other, Eddie is very scared, and Nancy has proven herself to be capable and courageous, so she’s a good choice to protect him, and Nancy wants someone to be by her side as she follows through on all of her intuitions and ideas, and Eddie can provide that company. Then they also have the foundation of being able to understand one another’s experiences, which is something Nancy in particular craves, and Eddie has been shown to value, with his whole mantra about how freaks need to stick together.

But they *need* community. They need people to call them on their bullshit, and stop them from being self destructive. If they can help themselves, and decide to get better, and start moving forward in a healthy way, they can absolutely help the other do so as well, but neither one knows how to start that process on their own.

There’s just soooo much potential for them to be so messy and make terrible decisions, and I know they very little in canon, but they do interact, and they have really compelling similarities in their backgrounds. I just want to see more of them, because they’re my absolute favorite rarepair.

Ummm holy shit, oh my god, thank you so much! I really enjoyed your book and I’m so glad you liked my silly little addition! (I’m geeking out so hard right now)

Because I lost all sanity, here is my December fic. I don’t know why this happened either.

Always forget I have this account, but anyway.

Why Nancy and Eddie are No Longer Allowed to Play Fuck, Marry, Kill is done!!

My longest work to date, enjoy this coming of age rom-ish com that clocks in longer than the Hobbit. I don’t know how that happened either.

[extensive-history-of-lemons]

few things more humbling than the realization that you really do write the same fic(s) over and over again

[extensive-history-of-lemons]

Tfw you finished a thing back in August, and just decide, on a whim, to start posting it on Halloween because why not?

What better way to celebrate violence, murder, sapphics, small towns, and farming?

Enjoy all! Chapters will be out daily until November 16th.

"Why can't the freaks on AO3 just go and make a site for all the gross stuff and leave AO3 alone."

Because AO3 is that site. Because AO3 was that site long before you decided AO3 was better than the sites you bullied us off of before, and I can promise you if someone somehow comes up with a fanfic site you like better specifically for the 'gross stuff' you'll try to bully us off that too so you can benefit from it.

AO3's specific core purpose is to preserve fanfiction, yes, but it was also instigated as a host site for the fanfiction that kept getting yeeted off other platforms like Wattpad. Its designed to preserve all fanfiction, not just the fanfiction you, personally, think is 'allowed' to be written.

AO3 is the site for all the gross stuff the freaks make. We've been there just as long as you. We've been funding it just as long as you have. AO3 has specifically said you have a place here. The timeline was literally:

Wattpad/FF.net/LiveJournal purge fanfics > AO3 is born > The people who's fics got purged moved over to AO3 > AO3 gains popularity as the best functioning site > The people who pushed for the fics to be purged off Wattpad move to AO3 > The same people try to push for AO3 to purge fics.

AO3's source coding is open-access. You go make a polished, strict, rigid site where nothing 'icky' is allowed. You go make a site where you can control what is hosted. We already have our space.

This is why I read the reddit comments

[extensive-history-of-lemons]

I have a lot of feelings about the rise of he would not fucking say that attitudes in fandom spaces and the paralysing effect it can have on creators. As a writer i think it’s important to just write what feels true to you and not what you think others will “approve” of. Like even as a reader i have enjoyed a variety of different characterisations that all work because the writer makes them work for a particular story. And a fic that’s written out of character to some will be in character to others. Writing fic is not your job you’re not being paid it’s your hobby please. Make them as close to canon as possible. Make them completely different. Who cares! Have fun! Have so much fun! There is an audience for every kind of fic and every kind of character interpretation i promise
