Happy Storyteller Saturday! How would your character(s) react to meeting you? Whether they know if you created them or not, can be up to you.

Depends at what point in their character arc they’re in lol

Right now I’m writing scenes where River meets the rest of the crew and she’s nervous as hell about it. It’s a combination of the crazy situation and meeting new people for her; now we wouldn’t be in a wild situation to meet, I don’t think, so she’d probably be awkward but trying to hide it.

Of course, her arc is all about gaining confidence and security, so if it’s towards the end of the book I think we’d get along.

Aspen is very practical already, and stays that way, so I think she would probably handle meeting me fine. Most of the crew would probably be the same, since they encounter and pick up a lot of floaters as they sail around. So meeting new people is par for the course.

They’d probably both be pissed off if they knew I was the reason they were snatched from their lives and tossed onto an alien planet. Eventually River would point out that they never would have met if that hadn’t happened, and most of the tension would resolve, but I think their opinion of me would be permanently lowered lmao

3, 13, 20 for the book asks!

End of year book asks

3. What were your top five books read this year?

Answered here !!

13. What were your least favorite books of the year?

The back half of The Witcher series by Andrzej Sapkowski, Some Things I Still Can't Tell You by Misha Collins (...) and Before the Coffee Gets Cold by Toshikazu Kawaguchi. The first 2 because they were genuinely bad in terms of craft and the last because it was mediocre in craft and incredibly over-hyped.

edit: forgot 20!

20. What was your most anticipated new release this year and did it live up to expectations?

I didn't read any new releases for 2023 this year, but the most recent release I read was Some Things I Still Can't Tell You by Misha Collins which met expectations spectacularly in that it was absolute garbage. The book I was most excited about coming out this year was The Mysteries by John Kascht and Bill Waterson, but I haven't got my hands on a copy just yet

Thanks!!

Bruce Wayne is canonically a very handsome man (he is called a "pretty boy" and he is in his 40s, for fuck's sake), and he is pretty famous as a rich philanthropist who doesn't want to leave his awful cursed crime infested city. So, there must be a ton of people thirsting over him on the internet. Fancams, edits, fanfics and imagines ("kidnapped with Bruce Wayne 😍 by a Gotham rogue"), the whole charade!

And anytime one of the batkids stumbles on a thirst post, they have the most dramatic disgusted reaction, loudly gagging, before sending the link to the batkids chat, because if they must suffer, then they should all suffer. Clicking on a link in this groupchat is like playing russian roulette, and getting rickrolled is a good ending.

okay but a like post-series fic i want that's like: steve harrington being the only man left in hawkins fighting monsters

and not like a 'everyone died, last man standing' way but just. they beat it back, the story ends, nice little tie-up and neatly concluded, eleven loses her powers because their world is completely cut from the other. and life goes on. eddie (yes, eddie lives au don't fight me) goes off with his band, robin-nancy-jargyle off to separate cities for college. the kids go to high school, graduate high school, and scatter across the country. joyce and hop buy a beach house far-far-far away from goddamn hawkins indiana.

steve though. steve stays. he does it too without comment, takes all their calls telling him all these amazing things. the years pass. the calls are fewer and far between. he's mostly in contact with only dustin and robin. except robin's out of country doing some crazy temp job in some remote country, she never catches him at home right now so just leaves him messages. and it takes a couple of weeks for dustin to realize he hasn't gotten steve on the phone.

frantically he calls around "have you heard from steve???" except the most people talk to steve anymore is like phone calls during holidays and holy shit what could have happened??

and what if it's back?

cue everyone who can in that moment, rushing back. eddie hopping on a flight from fucking london direct to indianapolis somehow, heart in his throat. he manages to meet hopper in the airport and they pick up max and dustin at the bus station.

they get to hawkins that is even more different that what they left. a smaller town, a town that shuts down completely when the sun sets. it's creepy and deserted.

except for the fucking upside down monsters of course.

and they're in their stupid little rental in front of this demogorgon and they're screaming but then the thing just goes splat on the concrete and steve fucking harrington is blinking owlishly at them.

"Oh, hey guys!" he calls jogging up to the driver's side window. "Wow, what brought you back down this way? You should have told me, I would have told you about the curfew!"

turns out steve just forgot to pay his phone bill that month, didn't even realize he was missing calls and he's been fighting monsters the entire time because actually they WEREN'T cut off from the upside down at all and he's just been casually fighting monsters for the remaining hawkins residence—the whole town knows now and steve's the guy you call when you have a monster problem

sidebar: WAYNE still lives in hawkins, and he and steve are best friends, eddie munson you are gonna LOSE YOUR MIND

14, 24, and 46 please! And hi!

Hi hi!! Thanks for sending a couple in!

14. What is your favorite location and position to write in?

I actually do a lot of my writing on my phone, as it's the easiest on my wrist, so I usually end up laying in bed or curled up in a ball on the couch!

24. How do yu choose whose POV to write in?

Usually when I have an idea come to me, I already know what POV I want-- otherwise the POV is whoever I feel like would have the most interesting perspective!

46. If you could only write one type of AU for the rest of your life, what would it be?

MAN this is a hard one... I don't know that I have a real answer-- I LOVE doing different AUs, so trying to pick one is almost impossible-- But I guess I'd choose modern AU? There's so much I could do in a modern AU, so I wouldn't be TOO bored right away.
