Hello my wonderful ikkimall family!
It's ikki here, sending you the biggest, warmest wave! ❤
I always feel such a special connection with all of you through the little worlds we create together with the letters/diary entry/fan-fiction story on Etsy. Seeing your excitement and knowing those words bring a little sparkle to your day? Honestly, it means the world to me. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for being such an incredibly kind and supportive community.
Lately, inspired by all the magic we share, I tiptoed into a slightly different kind of creative adventure.
You know how much heart goes into crafting those non-personalized letters, trying to capture just the right feeling? Well, I tried pouring that same energy into something new... my very first attempt at writing a romantic fanfiction story for Eddie Munson!
It felt a little bit like threading a secret dream, and because you all are so special to me, I wanted to share it with you first. It features a certain guitar-playing, D&D-loving hero from Hawkins – yes, the one and only Eddie Munson! 🎸And yes, from Stranger Things fandom.
I spent ages lost in this story, trying to capture that fluttery, hopeful feeling of first love, the kind that makes your heart do happy little flips. It’s a bit longer than my usual letters (okay, quite a bit longer – 26 pages of cosy reading!), but it comes from the very same place of wanting to share something heartfelt and maybe bring a little smile or a warm, fuzzy feeling your way.
If you fancy a peek into this little world I dreamed up, you can find the story nestled over HERE:
Eddie Munson's Romantic Fan-Fiction LOVE STORY by ikki
Sharing this feels both exciting and a tiny bit nerve-wracking (eek!), but my biggest wish is simply that it might bring you some of the same joy it brought me while writing it.
Think of it like an extended letter (but in story, instead), filled with daydreams and 'what ifs', written with the same care and hope that you'll enjoy escaping into it for a little while, just like I hope you enjoy the letters that land on your doorstep from Etsy (like this one!).
Thank you again for being the absolute best, most honourable, and loyal friends an Etsy creator could ask for.
Your support fuels all these little creative sparks!
Sending you all buckets of appreciation and hopeful smiles,
~ikki ♥
