A blog for the STWG! Here's the link to join https://discord.gg/F3TBmcwNqQ we love having new people and fresh faces! We're not just for writers, we're for anyone that loves ST and the fandom that comes with it :D
This is the official tumblr for the Stranger Things Writers Guild (STWG).
We're a group of writers in the Stranger Things fandom who got together with the goal of encouraging each other and hyping each other up on our various projects, going on long rants about our favourite blorbos and being available for each other if we need help with our fics.
We're a completely open invite server and we welcome all! Writers, lurkers, artists, whoever you are if you want to be with us you're welcome!
We host community writing sprints on the weekend, movie nights, game nights, daily prompts and so much more to help get the creative juices flowing!
Rules for the server are as follows:
You must be 18 years old or above.
We attempt for a no negativity space, this also means we keep trauma dumping and venting to a minimum.
No slurs.
No suicide jokes.
Absolutely no discussion of cults.
When discussing Omegaverse, only use the acronym A/B/O. Do not type it without the slashes, as we have ben informed this is a derogatory term targeted at certain indigenous groups.
This is not a Billy friendly server. We generally try to avoid discussion of the character at all.
Don't put down other people's writing. If constructive criticism is asked for, then give it. If it is not, do not give it.
NSFW topics must stay within their particular NSFW channels.
Check out the Stranger Things Writers Guild community on Discord – hang out with 218 other members and enjoy free voice and text chat.
Join us for a full-series Stranger Things rewatch!
Missing the terror you felt when you saw your first Demogorgon? Or the excitement of watching El reveal herself to the group alive and well and ready to kick ass at the end of season 2? Maybe you're dying to get back to Starcourt Mall, where we first set eyes on our favorite lesbian and got to see Steve Harrington in a sailor suit. We know so many of you are nostalgic for moment Eddie Munson appeared on your screens, and the summer when Running Up That Hill was playing on every major radio station around the world. And who could forget the tidal wave of anticipation we rode all the way to the release of season 5?
Well, Brochachos, get ready to party like it's the 1980's, because we're going back to Hawkins, baby!
A STRANGER REWIND
The Stranger Things Writers Guild is hosting a full series re-watch event starting this weekend June 20th and running through November.
Every week we'll host a watch party featuring two episodes.
Come for the live reactions, unhinged head-cannons, and general group chat chaos. Stay for in depth discussions and weekly writing and art prompts tied to the season we're re-watching!
Plus trivia nights, featured season playlists, and more all throughout the rest of the year.
Grab your walkie, pull on your Hellfire shirt, and meet us back where it all began.

Me?? Doing Wip Weekend??? Shocking lol. Buuut it is a long weekend in Aus (Thanks for the freebie, King Chucky!) and I have brainworms and the motivation to write. So, for the first time in months, LET'S GOOOO!!
I was tagged by the lovely @machtaholic (also Bex, I am crediting you for giving me some motivation as we have chatted away!)
Reminder of the Rules: Send me an emoji in an ask, and I’ll write 3-5 sentences and/or paragraphs from that WIP! No limits to the amount of emojis you can request.
🏺 Ceramicist/Potter Steve & Tattooist Eddie – Expanding on this idea, Steve opens a studio next to Eddie, cozy romance (and eventual smut) ensues. Very new (like, fresh) so feel free to send through some general thoughts!
💎 Diane Harrington AU – Diane is still rolling around in my brain, embarrassing Steve and being as sassy as ever. As always, I have a bunch of things for this au in the works.
Snippet and tags under the cut <3
A snippet from 💎 (this one I have had gestating in my tumblr drafts for a few weeks, being written line by excruciating line after I got the image of Steve munching on a Peanut Butter Bopper while glowering at his mother from a distance about something lol)
Eddie tiptoes forward, sidling up to his boyfriend, ever curious.
"Steve, what are you doing?"
Steve takes another bite of his treat and sighs.
"Stress eating." Despite mumbling through the side of his mouth, Steve still manages to convey that bitchy lilt.
"I see..."
Eddie moves to step closer, hopefully spot whatever has earned Steve's ire. But the reflection of the morning sun offers nothing but a sharp sting as it obscures his view into Gino's Pizzeria.
"What's got your jeans in a twist?"
"My mom is in there," Steve huffs, "Flirting with Gino."
Tags (ooof, i haven't done this in a hot minute!): @hbyrde36 @kikidoesfanfic @shelleyminx @augustjustice @xxfiction-is-my-realityxx
Reminder of the Rules: Send me an emoji in an ask, and I’ll write 3-5 sentences and/or paragraphs from that WIP! No limits to the amount of emojis you can request. I will, however, limit to a max of nine (9) sentences total per ask - You will get somewhere between 3 to 9 sentences, depending lol
[they’re all Steddie fics lol]
🪞 - Modern AU where Eddie’s record label wants him to ‘clean up’ his image a bit and brings in one Steve Harrington do perform said ‘makeover’ LOL
🪈 - I’ve been poking at a little thing expanding on these two mini-fics featuring Steve in a boyband and CC!Eddie
🦊 - silverfox!Steve x younger!Eddie (shy, homebody Steve with a more confident Eddie)
🧁 - Modern #steddie AU where Steve is a YT-er who does baking tutorials, but with a GoPro strapped to his chest so all the viewer hears is Steve’s voice and all they see is Steve’s hands as he works. He’s got MILLIONS of followers. Eddie Munson, lead singer of Corroded Coffin is one of them. Eddie creates an anonymous account to follow/subscribe.
🔐 - Methods of Keeping You Clean (Steddie Big Bang 2026 ) [I can finally share snippets for this!!!!]

"Sorry - oh hey, Eddie!"
"Hey Eddie, how's it's going?"
"Eddie, hey … good summer?"
"Ugh!" Steve stood in front of the full length mirror hanging on the back of his bathroom door, checking his reflection and … practicing how to say hi to Eddie.
Steve groaned again, resisting the urge to run a hand through his hair as he was unwilling to mess up the perfect coif he'd spent an hour creating. It was the first day of his senor year and he wanted to make a good impression - not on the school as a whole, but one person.
Eddie Munson.
"Come on, Steve, cultivate some of that confidence you acquired in New York City," Steve muttered to himself.
I think it'd be nice to stretch my wings a little, so let's give this a go!
Rules: Send me an emoji in an ask, and I’ll write a bit of that WIP and share it. None of these fic are published anywhere, so this is your exclusive way to see what my brain's been doing lately! (unless you're @mamesuke, I send them basically everything I write 💋) You can send as many asks as you like, I won't stop you.
---
🍗 High Lonesome Sound - Steve gets dragged to the middle of nowhere to spend Thanksgiving with the Munsons.
🎸 Karaoke (Hard Mode) - Steve is just a good friend and loyal supporter of Eddie's music career. And nothing else, Robin.
📖 The Sound of Your Voice - On migraine days, silence is too much, but a specific audiobook narrator's voice hits that perfect soothing note for Steve's battered brain. That voice just happens to also front Dustin's favorite band.
🐠 The Thin Drywall Line - Eddie's new neighbors may be strangers to him, but he could tell you a hell of a lot about them thanks to these cheap apartment walls.
👻 Upside Down (working title) - When Dustin finds out Eddie is (probably) alive in the UD, he strong arms Steve into playing the hero one more time. Meanwhile, Eddie wakes up - but he's not alone.
🐺 Woof - Steve's been a werewolf since he was born, but it doesn't come in handy as much as you'd think - until it very much saves the day. But just that one day. After that it kinda complicates some things.
🔦 Another 80's Corey - There's a new girl in town, and she should absolutely not be squatting in the Creel house.

Thanks for the nudge, @strangerthingswritersguild!
“I need that money,” Steve insists, with the same weird urgency he always gets when the topic of his inheritance comes up. Eddie finds it hard to imagine what anyone would objectively need that amount of money for, but he can't say he doesn't get the appeal. “The problem is that I won't get it if I'm not married by my twenty-first birthday.”
"Plenty of people leave thumbs up emojis in their comments," Steve pointed out.
"Not just a thumbs up emoji," Dustin countered.
Steve paused - that was specific to specific to D&D Dude.
"Then I really think you're fine. You know how he gets sometimes. Guy is like a big soda bottle someone shook up, dude's ready to explode at any moment. He's like a hyperactive squirrel that can't keep focused on something, like a-"
"I get it, Robin," Steve chuckled, pushing her arms off his shoulders, "Thank you for that, though. I needed it."
The @strangerthingswritersguild daily prompt was Croc. So, enjoy some shenanigans ft Erica & Steve. (Future fic, set vaguely mid-2000s)
"No. Nope. Abso-LUTE-ly not, Steve." Steve looked at Erica in confusion.
"What are you talking about?" She gave him one of her Erica Sinclair Patented Bitch please looks. He'd like to say he'd taught her that, but he'd confirmed with Sue that she had the look down from birth.
"You are not wearing those," She gestured angrily towards his feet. "to my wedding, asshole!"
"They're comfortable! And match my suit."
"...Steve. Steve please say sike right now." Steve grinned at her, enjoying this.
"Sorry. My mother told me it's bad to lie." She narrowed her eyes at him.
"Steven. I've met your mother. I work for your mother. She's a highly paid, cutthroat attorney. There is no way she ever said those words." Erica said the words highly paid and cutthroat with a concerning amount of admiration.
"Anyway, Dustin said it was fine. He approved the outfit." That was maybe stretching it. What Dustin had actually said, was "I don't care what you wear to my wedding asshole, now shut up, I have some important business to tend to", but Steve figured that counted as approval. Also, Steve was pretty sure the important NASA business was an on-going internet battle with the guy who wanted to strip Pluto of planet status. "And it's too late now. Robin's already got a matching suit."
Erica groaned and the glare increased. "Fine. But if you're wearing those yellow monstrosities to my wedding you're buying us everything off the registry. And I expect a cashier's cheque to cover first class upgrades for the honeymoon. I can't be expected to endure eight hours in coach with the memory of those seared into my eyeballs." She gave Steve's feet one last, withering glare, and marched out of the room to finish getting ready for her wedding.
Steve grinned, and looked down at the offensive, bright yellow crocs. "Worth it," he decided, as he went in search of Robin.

Have a snippet of 🧁 under the cut
Eddie watched as BakingFella put a glass over one of the cookies, gave a few spins, and turned a slightly misshapen cookie into a perfect circle.
"And voila! Perfect circles! Let these bad boys cool and then you can either give them to your sweetheart or enjoy them all on your own. But not all at once - wouldn't want to make yourself sick."
Eddie drowsily watched as BakingFella finished reshaping the cookies, set them on a cooling rack and then washed his hands in a bright white farm sink.
"And remember, keep calm and bake on." One of BakingFella's hands appeared on the screen making the 'hang ten' sign. "BakingFella out!"
The screen went black and Eddie felt himself grinning. He brought the keyboard on the table to hit 'like', then realized he was signed into his very public facing profile.
"Well, that wouldn't go well," Eddie muttered to himself. "Although dude's clearly popular." BakingFella had upwards of two million subscribers and the comments on his video ranged from grateful college students to thirsty moms to everything in between.
BakingFella clearly had a lot of fans - and after only one video, Eddie was one too.
"Keep calm and bake on," Eddie mumbled to himself as he put the tablet on the nightstand and went to sleep.
Steve's hand shifted, winding into curls as he scratched at Eddie's scalp. He melted, going nearly boneless at his side as he sighed deeply, tension leaving his body. Steve smiled at the reaction, affection blooming in his chest at how similar he was to Tews sometimes. They stayed like that for several minutes, basking in the quiet. The only light in the room was the flickering of the screen, which was going largely unwatched.
Even (or especially) when they "don't like" each other, Steve and Eddie can never escape getting stuck in shenanigans together:
Eddie crowed in triumph, holding up a hairpin he had fished out of one of the drama club’s wigs. “Those little cretins, trying to lock me up inside my own lair! What fools. Haven’t they learned–you don’t mess with Hawkins High’s top juvenile delinquent.”
Steve rolled his eyes, leaning against the wall and watching as Eddie started to pick the lock. “Puh-lease, Munson. You’re not so scary.”
Eddie grasped at his heart, as though Steve had landed a fatal blow. God, he wasn’t scary, but he was dramatic.
“You wound me, King Steven. Truly you do.”
It's once again WIP Weekend Time - Holiday Weekend Edition. It's Memorial Day in the US, so I have Monday off, which means extra time for fic writing!
I also haven't touched my Mixtape Madness challenge in a hot minute, so I'm going to split up some of the songs so they can be voted on individually! I've been making good progress on my SBB, and have a new PWP one-shot that I plan to publish over the weekend as well.
As always, send me an ask, and I'll give you a few sentences in that work. Except the Big Bang fic. That's top secret information.
❓ Steddie Big Bang Fic
🏙️ Mixtape Madness - Suffragete City
👠 Mixtape Madness - Head over Heels
💋 Mixtape Madness - I Was Made for Lovin' You
🧙♂️ Mixtape Madness - Chosen Ones
🎲 Can't decide? I'll roll a d6, with 6 being a free choice for me!
Here's a snippet from my upcoming PWP Fic (NSFW obviously):
Eddie groaned into the kiss before pulling away. "Why do you still have your pants on? Wait, did you wipe your ha-"
Steve surged down, pressing a firm kiss to Eddie, but unable to resist the huge grin fighting for dominance on his face. Eddie playfully tried to shove him back, but Steve took the opportunity to drop his full weight onto Eddie, pushing the air out of his lungs as Steve dove back toward his lips, Eddie twisting his head this way and that to avoid his playful kisses.
"Ste- no, Steve, di-, no, stop it, did you, di- did you, Steve!" Eddie laughed, unable to get more than a word or two out as Steve peppered his mouth with kisses, chasing him back and forth. Eddie finally managed to get some leverage, turning his body into the couch and over onto his belly, where Steve couldn't attack his lips anymore.
"Steve! Did you wipe your lube-covered hands on my shirt?" Eddie groused at him, feeling Steve snake his arms around Eddie, kissing his shoulders playfully.
"Well, I didn't not wipe my hands on your shirt…" Steve elongated his words as Eddie fought to flip back over, sending them both tumbling off the couch and onto the floor.
It's the weekend again, and a long one at that - and just in time, we're about to face the first heatwave of the year. Time to break out the pop-up pool and do some writing in the shade! 😎
Claims for the @steddiebbang are getting closer, and chapter 3 of my fic is nearing completion!
Speaking of complete: chapter 7 of the Life Debt AU is done, and so is part 5 of Like Fine Whiskey! This one still needs edits, but I'll probably post it some time in June.
Over the next few days, I have a lot of new stuff for you - not only chapter 11 of The King's Gift, but also two new ficlets! Stay tuned! ❤️
Send me an emoji, and I'll write and share three sentences from that project
❓️ Steddie Big Bang 2026
⚔️ Life Debt AU
👋 Meet the parents
🧚♂️ Neverland
Snippet from ⚔️
A figure steps out from between the trees - slowly and silently, starlight glinting off silver steel and wary blue eyes. Beside him, Eddie grows tense.
“Wait, who are you? How do you know-”
Steve doesn’t pay him any mind. The branch thuds to the ground for a second time. Pebbles and roots cut into his naked feet as he sways forward, but he hardly feels the pain.
The young woman before them yelps a half-formed protest, barely managing to lower her bow and arrow. He doesn’t care. He’s already launching himself at her, sweeping her off her feet and into a bone-crushing hug.
It can’t be true.
But it must be. Because she’s here, alive and well in his castle, in his arms, right when he was told not to go out and search for her.
Maybe he was wrong about the magic. Maybe it did decide to help him out.
Because Nancy is here in his arms, alive and well.
It’s nothing short of a miracle, but he will damn well take it.
