I loved your fic with Melanie, btw, especially the Melanie/Syndi part. I must have totally zoned the last time I watched on the Death figure following Melanie, because my headcanon was: 'Aw, bb!Danielle Harris in flannel, she's totally going to end up chasing girls, and if Eerie gets weird about it, go 'No, it's the heart's influence, honest!' ;)

The heart wants what the heart wants... :)

This is a true thing.

Melanie was my favorite one-episode character, and I've wanted an ending for her for years now. What I finally succeeded in doing was writing endings, which I'm okay with.

I think "I never kissed her again, because she never made it out of the cemetery" and "I never kissed her again, because next time she was a part of my life, she was dating my sister" are both valid interpretations of the text as it stands. So maybe all of those are true, and I can decide which one--or something else entirely--goes with "our" Eerie with each re-watch.

in eerie, someone dating your sister is robably a more effected ve way to kill your romantic interest than being dead, since dying doesnt actually seem to be much of an obstacle to your dating life in that town...

Heck, in the world that is my fic-writing brain, even being killed by somebody in Eerie doesn't necessarily preclude you eventually winding up in a long-term relationship with them...

lets be honest, dash took a pretty good crack at killing him and a big chunk of fandom is still like, yup, theyre a couple. murder attempts are just something most couples google.co through at some stage
