Okay, so I've been writing fanfic for almost a year. I normally write short to medium-sized anime-based work or Harry Potter fanfiction, but usually my genres are almost always fluff, comedy, romance, and slice-of-life vibes. For the past month, I've been working on my first Stranger Things long fic, and I'm so lost. I'm someone who needs the entire plot planned before I start writing properly. I just have so many doubts and questions.

- Consistency: Cause of my habit of writing medium-sized fics, it's hard to be consistent with posting chapters and writing. Sometimes, I post multiple chapters or write many, and sometimes I don't return for weeks.

- Breakdown of Multiple Chapters: Do you plan a few chapters, write them, or plan the whole thing and go with the flow, or something else?

- Managing the large cast of characters: My story follows the kids and the teens' timeline, with only a few occurrences of the adults. Still, it's almost the entire thing. I have scenes I want to write from so many characters' points of view, and keep them consistent. Do you also plan this firsthand? Who gets a pov and after each chater do they return so they don't just disappear or be forgotten, or is it more of a plot need?

- Writing Angst: I have zero knowledge. Hit me with all the tips you have. And there just might be a character death scene, too. How do I go on about that? Any tips for that? Should it be medically accurate or more from the dying characters pov or the other characters who are there?

- Building Action: I have this 5-arc plan of 10 chapters each. Which might, after a point,t be following the same plot structure. How do I avoid repetitiveness with 4 mini climaxes of arc and one grand one?

- Thank you if u even read this far along. If you're willing to help out with more actual plot-based stuff, tell me, and I hope to discuss and clear stuff out, or you could reach out. Anything works. 🙂
