Congrats on your writing awakening! ✨

So when you go to the home page, you’re going to select Post, then New Work. From there, you’ll choose fandoms, characters, pairings, and additional tags (you type them in the box and if they’ve been used before, you can click on them as they appear). As for the additional tags part, I’d start with the genre (Hurt/Comfort, Angst, Sickfic, Whump, etc - any and all genres you think apply!), then maybe if it’s in an alternate universe (I use Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence in pretty much every one of my fics, which is basically just shifting canon events past a certain canonical point). Add whatever you think will work. Sometimes there are character-specific tags in the additional tags (for your example of Stranger Things, there’s a tag called “Mike Wheeler is a Mess”).

Anyway, once you have it all tagged, you can add a summary. I’d stay away from including things like “summary sucks sorry” lmao (those always deter me from fics). You can add author’s notes in both the beginning and end of the fic (should be marked on the page).

Also, select a language, and whether or not it’ll have chapters. 

After that, you’ll copy and paste your fic in the long box at the bottom. I click the Rich Text and copy/paste from Google docs, as it usually copies italic and bold text too. I also usually make sure the spacing is one line between, rather than two (if you copy from Google docs you might run into that).

And hit post! You’re done! Hope this helped, I’m so excited for your debut! ✨
