I’m supposed to be finishing up the epilogue but I can’t get a Sinclair centred fic, inspired loosely by dirty dancing, out of my head… fml

@jixxio thank you lovey! Yeah this book is finished after this week, I’ve got the prologue for the third one ready to go, so I might flip-flop between the chapters for Halle’s time-jump and season 1 of stranger things (there’s eight chapters each). Ahhh rewriting ST is daunting because there’s so many little things they messed up on along the way (like character personalities, just consistency in general with everything) to consider. It’d be a big job!

Hi so I was on Ao3 and saw your work and um just, are you aware that the / means pairing??? That when you put Alison/Emily/Spencer/Hanna/Aria it made it seem like a polyship 

Mythicbtch

If u have any questions on tags for Ao3 I’ll happily answer them, it’s also pretty common for writers to tag their works with warnings if there’s things like abuse or torture or non con so people know what they’re getting into and choose if they’re willing to read that

/ also counts for non con “relationships” or unrequited relationships or one sided relationships or just s*xual relationships really anything not platonic or familial

No problem, a slight explanation for tags, / is romantic but if ur showing platonic relationships that’d be along the lines of &, something like Alison & Emily & Spencer & Hanna & Aria (with their last names or whatever tag pops up)

So I have to ask because well I need something to look forward to no matter how far away it may be. Will you be writing a stranger things ff by any chance? I heard a rumour (the rumour being I maybe saw you mentioned something of the sort in reply to a comment) and I’m desperate to know if that’s something that is in the works because I a) love your writing and b) have full faith you can fix their fuck ups and I’m basing that purely off you being able to somehow fixing PLL.

@MuzzleMe Ahhh thank you so much, that’s really sweet! I honestly can’t believe you love my writing that much, but I’m so grateful. The Sinclairs (especially Lucas, who I believe personally is the heart of the show) mean a lot to me, they’ve consistently been my favourites and who I root for.

I love the idea of a Sinclair oc! There’s so many Henderson/Hopper ocs and although I love them, I’d love to see more Lucas/oc dynamics going on. Just to be clear though, I love your writing so much that I will enjoy whatever you crumb you drop so whenever you decide to share the beginning, I will be present.

So I do have a stranger things fic in the works currently (she’s a Sinclair oc and is inspired by my favourite 80s movie Dirty Dancing). I’ve got plans for at least the first two seasons, but season 4-5 are so daunting to thinking about rewriting because of how messy the fuckups! Tbh I have no idea how to begin to tackle them (I might have to rewrite and create entire new plots for those) which is funny because PLL arguably has just as many and I’ve gotten rid of multiple characters. I have the prologue and the first chapter written for the ST fic, so I might upload to see if people enjoy it and if not leave it. Thank you for being so interested though, it means a lot to know you enjoy my writing to want more!

I gotta know if you're more of a pantser or a planner. like, it's obvious you planned things out for Halle's story (looking forward to that re-read already), but I gotta know do you follow a chapter-by-chapter outline or is jotting down notes as you watch episodes good enough?? cause Halle's stuff is so great, and honestly, the end of s5 with Halle giving her testimony, the most recent chapter where A is revealed (how it felt like watching it on tv), and the bunker scenes are some of my favorite chapters from you

leahsayshiorhey

Ahh thank you so much! I really wanted it to read like you were watching a finale, so I’m really grateful it paid off. I had that in mind because I love episode 2.12 with how it flipped from past to present and you didn’t know what had fully happened until it’s revealed. And thank you for loving the bunker chapters, I’m very happy with them!
            
            I’m definitely a planner, I couldn’t just wing it — especially with changing so much. What I did first was note down who I wanted A to be, major plot holes I wanted solved and what I needed to happen throughout, then I wrote scripts for the show with Halle included all the way until season 7. So I know exactly what happens in every chapter and I have done since season 3. I did that so I could know I could explicitly write out big things in the show (like Alex and Mary Drake, most of Sara Harvey, Mrs D’s death, Ezra in season four). Then, I go chapter-by-chapter writing it out properly because I know the bigger story is there/being told. It’s a lot of preemptive planning and notebooks that are full with everything! There’s a few things that were added in randomly, so might feel more rushed or not fully executed (Noel and Aria getting together wasn’t in my plans until I wrote 5.01, and I didn’t plan on bringing back Agent Cooper until I was writing the dollhouse chapters), but mostly it’s planned already. I’ve just got to write them out.

Hey there have just read your PLL series and actually so enthralled, like you’ve literally managed a better story than the actual show (no shade do love it) obsessed with Halle and Jason and so can’t wait to read more, sounds stupid but brightens my day to read ❤️

leahsayshiorhey

Hi — thank you so much! That’s such a honour that you’re enjoying my series and the fact you think I’ve made the show better is a huge compliment, thank you. We love the show, we know its flaws. It doesn’t sound stupid at all, angel — I’m really glad that it brightens your day, that’s the best kind of feedback <3

I’m happy to say after four years that my pll fics have finally had a makeover. Same books, no changes to the story, just better looking.
