Dear Unconventional Fanworks Creator

Hello, [community profile] unconventionalfanworkex creator! This is going to be so much fun.

My requested tags are the ones that looked like the most fun to me for each of these fandoms, but I give blanket permission to treat me with absolutely anything in the freeform tagset.

Likes: hurt/comfort, character studies, people gradually becoming friends, prickly friendships, loyalty, banter, sarcasm, slice of life, outside POV, tropey tropes (e.g. soulmates, sex pollen), badass normals dealing with weird stuff, casual intimacy, characters being all up in each other's space, found families, love languages, lonely people learning to be loved. I'm not sure how much of that actually applies due to the nature of this exchange, but if you end up, for example, telling a story through letters or writing a framing story for a set of clippings/articles, these are some of the things I enjoy.

DNW: visual porn (i.e. adult-rated artwork - it's fine to use clips of canon sex scenes in vids); unrequested non-canon pairings, though including canon pairings is always fine.

I love vids; they're one of my favorite things. Vids for any of the requested characters or relationships would delight me.

Style - Epistolary
In-Universe Personal Documents - Letters
In-Universe Personal Documents - Postcards
In-Universe Social Media and Communication - Text Message Conversation
I would love something with letters, postcards, texts, etc sent back and forth between the characters: while Danny & Colleen are gone at the end of S1, during Danny & Ward's road trip after S2, Claire's letters or texts to various people at different points in the shows' canon, or anywhere else that you think it might work.

In-Universe Publication - Newspaper Article
In-Universe Publication - Tabloid Article
In-Universe Professional and Academic Documents - Police Report
In-Universe Personal Documents - Ransom Note
In-Universe Professional and Academic Documents - Wanted Poster
So here I'm thinking shenanigans & hijinks as reported via any/some/all of the above methods. The first thing that comes to mind is Ward & Danny on their road trip, with Colleen and/or Misty getting increasingly WTF back home as they follow along via news stories/letters/whatever, but really anything you want to do with these characters and these fanwork types would be delightful. Danny's police file from when he was on the run? Newspaper articles on all the changes at Rand over the last couple of years? (I mean, good god, first the supposedly dead son of the deceased previous CEO shows up, then he goes on the run on drug charges, and while all this is going on, the company's OTHER supposedly dead CEO arrives on the scene and takes a header off the roof a day later, after being shot multiple times by his son. Rand's PR department must have been kept busy on this one, I gotta say.) Colleen and Misty getting a ransom note for two expat billionaires overseas? Claire reacting to various newspaper articles keeping her updated on the events of the other shows?

In-Universe Publication - Magazine Article
In-Universe Publication - Magazine Cover
In-Universe Publication - Magazine Spread
I could see the famous characters (e.g Ward and Danny, though potentially any of them if they gain notoriety as vigilantes) having magazine articles about them, and I'd love to see something like that, or a general article on Rand Enterprises, a profile of Misty, or the like.

In-Universe Personal Documents - Artwork
I guess I'm thinking of Ward most of all, since he canonically used to draw, but any of the characters could have an art hobby, doodle things on napkins or shopping lists, or the like.

In-Universe Personal Documents - Diary/Journal
Are any of these people likely to keep a diary? Do I care? No, I do not. Ward's personal journal chronicling the Harold years might be both tragic and hilarious in a Very Secret Diaries kind of way, or Claire's personal diary in which she lets out all her annoyance and angst over the self-destructive idiots she spends all day around.

In-Universe Professional and Academic Documents - Mission Report
In-Universe Publication - Case Report
I would LOVE to see some of their mission files for weird SSR or (later) SHIELD cases. It would be especially fun if different characters' accounts of the same events differ for various in-character reasons, e.g. Jack using reports to try to make himself look good or Peggy downplaying the actual danger or that kind of thing.

In-Universe Personal Documents - Letters
In-Universe Personal Documents - Postcards
Letters, notes, or postcards sent back and forth between the characters while they're in different cities/countries would be fun. I really love fictional correspondence and would love to see the character relationships grow and deepen as they get to know each other.

Crafts and Games - Dress-Up Doll Templates/Game
Crafts and Games - Cards Against Humanity Custom Deck
Crafts and Games - Card/Board Game
I'd love something like this, if you have the time and desire to create something like it! Peggy paper dolls, with all her beautiful clothes? An SSR board game in which you have to avoid Russian spies to get to the finish line?

In-Universe Personal Documents - Diary/Journal
I'm thinking Peggy in particular because the guys don't seem like the journaling type, but feel free to take this in whatever direction you like, including someone else's journal (Angie?) offering outside-POV insights on the requested characters. I could see something like this turning up in Peggy's personal files after her death.

In-Universe Publication - Wikipedia/Encyclopedia Entry
In-Universe Social Media and Communication - Wikipedia Article Talk Page
I'd love any ridiculous outside theories about the weirdness in Hawkins. The internet ones are obviously modern-day, but I'd prefer if the Stranger Things series events still took place in the 80s; this could either be a retrospective look back (the unsolved mystery of the 1985 Hawkins mall fire!) or some brand-new weird thing happening in the modern day. Commentary from the grown-up canon characters would be hilarious (in the form of Reddit comments or wiki edits?). Of course, you can also do anything to do with conspiracy theories back in the canon era, or found footage/documents or whatever is fun for you!

I picked these tags for various outside viewpoints on the general weirdness of Hawkins. It would be fascinating and hilarious to see how ordinary people rationalize what's going on around them. For the "episode recap" one, I was thinking something like a documentary on Hawkins or the like, maybe a show that gets things hilariously wrong.

Style - Choose Your Own Adventure
Crafts and Games - Dress-Up Doll Templates/Game
Crafts and Games - Dungeons and Dragons Module
Crafts and Games - Card/Board Game
Any of these would be incredibly fun for this show, if you have the time and inclination to create something like this! For the D&D one specifically, I play tabletop RPGs, including D&D, and a custom Stranger Things module would be AMAZING. (If you're familiar with other game systems, I also really like the Palladium rules and used to play their horror/urban fantasy game Beyond the Supernatural a lot, and a Stranger Things module would fit beautifully within that world.) But in general, any type of craft project would be loved and adored, and a Choose Your Own Adventure would be incredible.

LOL

To be fair, I feel like both Ward and Joy are the kind of preppy kids who'd have diaries. Joy's would be written in a way that if it's ever read would only show her in the best light.

Aww that's so sweet! I'd love that, I've been trying to figure out what is open but there's so much now, it's a bit hard to figure out. Altho Treatmas looks great....
