The fact people write fics that could very well be award winning novels is insane.
Like—they write this for FREE. FOR FREE.
You beautiful bastards, I love you.

Do y’all ever reread an old unpublished fanfic you wrote and then get invested on the storyline but get sad because you never wrote the next part of it, just me?

This is everything the Stranger Things writers have posted publicly about the WGA strike:
TIMELINE
May 3rd:
Tumblr media
Stranger Things writer Caitlin Schneiderhan tweets picture from personal Twitter account of sign from the strike that reads 'Pay us or Steve Harrington is toast'
May 6th:
Tumblr media
Official Stranger Writers Twitter account makes post on behalf of the Duffers Brothers. They have since pinned this tweet to their profile. "Duffers here. Writing does not stop when filming begins. While we're excited to start production with our amazing cast and crew, it is not possible during this strike. We hope a fair deal is reached soon so we can all get back to work. Until then -- over and out. #wgastrong
Bonus:
Tumblr media
May 12th:
Stranger Things writer Kate Trefry posts picture from personal Tumblr account of sign that reads, 'Byler won’t write itself'
As far as I know, the two writers that posted on their personal socials are the only writers from ST that even have personal accounts that are public, whereas the rest of the writers do not.
What does make me take a pause though, is that, while yes they did post these pictures from their personal accounts, which is about as official as it gets, they also cryptically did not include themselves in said pictures...
This just got me thinking about how Stranger Things is quite literally Netflix and vise versa. They are practically one in the same, where one without the other just doesn't make sense.
While this conflict of interest might run deep for many writers out there fearing to speak out against their employer, for us, the consumers, the fans, we as a collective have so much more power than we realize.
In contrast to the writers, streamers can't just fire their consumer base sometime down the line, out of spite for speaking out. Without consumers, neither Stranger Things nor Netflix would be what it is today.
We have the affordance of being able to speak up the loudest of anyone. And so why wouldn't we take advantage of that?
There are so many people out there protesting: writers, actors, others in the industry and even outside of it who are also taking a stand, many who need support so that they can continue to fight in the upcoming days, weeks, months, without being deterred by corporations that are making them feel greedy for demanding a contract that at most, asks that they be paid fairly.
And so I want to encourage anyone that is reading this, but fellow fans of Stranger Things especially, who have so much power in this strike when it comes to getting Netflix's attention, to consider taking the time to do whatever you can individually + with the masses as a community in order to best support the strike.
Follow the Strike! If you're active on various social media already, please be sure to follow the official accounts advocating for the strike via Instagram (@writersguildwest/@wgaeast), via Twitter (@WGAWest/@WGAEast). Engage with posts from folks that are out there daily, many with whom you can find by following tags like #WGAStrong, #WGAStrike and #WritersStrike. Although most fans are not able to join in picketing themselves, we can at least recognize all of those out there's individual efforts and do our best to show that we're paying attention and listening!
Spread the word! Show support any way you can by sharing posts and articles about the strike, or even fun memes to inform others in a more engaging way. This is the official site for the WGA strike if you want to learn more about what’s going on before diving in! And make sure to stay up-to-date here as things continue to unfold!
Donate! The Entertainment Community Fund is endorsed by the WGA for anyone that wants to support those affected by the strike financially. And this thread on Twitter is an incredible resourse, as it provides an ‘easy, one-click, stress-free, accessible-to-all-budgets’ ways you can support folks on the front lines.
Also! Consider donating through this link for the Entertainment Community Fund, where the money donated still goes directly to that fund, this is just an organizing page for Stranger Things fans specifically! By allowing fans to see how much of an impact we make as a collective, in real time, this could encourage even more ST fans to want to contribute. In a best case scenario, if this GoFundMe were to reach impressive proportions of donations from fans, that could lead to news outlets reporting on it, which could allow an opportunity for even more eyes on the strike, while also even more importantly being able to provide financial support to those that need it.
Trend! On social media, use #StrangerFansforWGA to trend or even just to reach other fans also looking to come together to support the strike!
While I know this post probably wont reach anywhere outside of Tumblr, I want to make a point to encourage those of you that are on other platforms to inform fans in those spaces about the strike and what they can do to help!
Tumblr media
We might not all agree on everything, but I think we can agree on at least one thing... @Netflix & all major streamers and networks out there, who are still refusing to make a fair deal: PAY YOUR WRITERS!
In the mean time, if you're interested in working on different ideas for initiates we can carry out as a fandom, please reach out to me! I might only one person and I might not have all the answers and solutions, but I do know that with more of us working together, our odds of making an impact are much greater!
Over and out!

Why is writing so hard? Like my ideas are genius and I know what I’m trying to do but once it actually comes to writing my brain just stops

Ghar -घर -گھر
"Ghar" is such a beautiful term. Like how randomly we say "Ghar ja raha hoon", "Ghar par hoon", "yai Ghar hai mera." So beautiful and so calming. Just a piece of land, doesn't matter how fancy or simple, but we're all emotionally attached to it.🤍

Lawful Soft: inspirational quotes - runs a book account as well - likes to post about their cat a lot - very encouraging
Neutral Soft: aesthetic - tea - mood boards - leather bound fancy journals - good handwriting
Chaotic Soft: posts mood boards to procrastinate writing - doesn't follow their own advice - reads your work but forgets to tell you -likes to write coffee shop au's or other fluffy romances
Lawful Disaster: gives good writing advice but says some variant of f*** 50 times to explain it - smart 'texts you at 4am to ramble about world building -probably writes fan fic
Neutral Disaster: never texts with proper grammar - most likely a college student - writes at 4am and is unable to write at any other time - coffee with too much sugar

Uhhhhhh
Caption reads: "Can I see what you're writing?"
Image is of the "awkward monkey puppet" meme (originating from the Japanese children's show Ōkiku Naru Ko). The puppet (Kenta) is giving the side eye and looking away.

-"You know I told the stars about you, wanna know what I shared??" she said to the man sitting close to her, the same man who owns her heart.
He asked , "did you tell them how beautiful you look under their light"??
-Her cheeks flushed a rosy pink "What ? No"
Or did you tell them how you look like a work of art which would have taken years to be completed by the artist, while gazing up at them....
-Her heart fluttered at his words , "No" she repeated and turned to look at him directly in the eyes. I told them how"......
And suddenly my hand froze , what did she tell them , what beautiful words could ever portray the undying love that she feels....
I wouldn't know how would I even know ??, for I have never been in love....
PS-this is a small snippet from a book I am currently working on where the female protagonist is a writer.
(Ik it's a bit cringe but that's what hopeless Romantics are for)

Few people are like moon. We can only love them from afar knowing they are being immensly loved by others too.
