Hello Hello Hello!! Welcome to a late late late!! Update!!
I am so so so sorry I have not been able to write any more of the fanfiction right now. I know it's almost been a year since I had posted chapters 1 and 2 of All Hail Starscream, but the tabs are open, the notes are still there, and I will write it. I promise that I will.
A lot has happened since I made those trauma dump posts lol. Sure, I'm still very unhappy, but that's not why I made this account. This account was made for me to post about my fanfics!
I've recently been focusing on writing a screenplay that I personally hope to see be made into a feature film someday.
The main reason I am here however, is because of that damn Stranger Things Finale. I have grown up with that show and have loved (some) seasons up until season 5. What season 4 had set up opened so many opportunities that I felt like season 5 didn't execute any of them!
What I want to do is rewrite the entirety of Stranger Things 5. 8 long chapters with higher stakes, a darker tone, more focus on the satanic panic that has erupted in the town of Hawkins, addressing Eddie's reputation as a "cult leader" and how that changes how Hawkins sees these life shattering events, as well as some truly gut-wrenching emotional moments, and more!
I have only thought about doing this a couple days ago while grocery shopping and there's already so much that I want to do with the characters and the story! So many directions to go! I don't know when I will update again, but I promise that even though I don't appear much, I am still writing. I am still writing All Hail Starscream, and I am still writing my screenplay. Stranger Things 5 will remain a side piece until we come up with more ideas.
Of course, I'm going to try to find help from a close relative, because it will be a daunting task adapting the cliffhanger of season 4 into something new and exciting. Plus, this is basically a redo of a grand finale. The final season. The end of the show. It has to be planned out as much as possible.
What we do have right now is that my relative wants the season set during December around New Years Eve. I have already created a soundtrack that maintains some of the tracks used in the season while also adding, or changing, or even removing certain songs to fit the scenes better.
What have we written so far in Episode 1?
"December 18th 1986... 9 months after the formation of The Devil's X."
I would love to hear anybody's thoughts on what they would like to see or... not want to see.
