* There's a music producer named Detune who has been livestreaming doing paranormal investigations of houses and also the editing into what I assume will be a series called Paranormal Detour. I haven't been able to catch much of it, but it's pretty cool. While I normally don't like or am bored by most of the 'paranormal investigation' shows of the past 20 years, I am really enjoying Detune so far. I haven't been able to catch much of his streams and don't know how often he'll be doing the investigations, but I am enjoying catching bits here and there.

There was sort of a trend of livestreaming investigating houses after Phasmophobia blew up. This and also having watch some Phas streamers do 'Phas irl' really makes me want to use the idea as a story setting... just not sure how.

* There is going to be a Stranger Things stage play in London about Hawkins in 1959. Aannnd it establishes Joyce's maiden name and some people are being weird about it going against fanon. Why I am a bit pedantic about what is canon and what is not exhibit #873. Fanon is awesome, but fanon is fanon.

I am bummed there is zero chance I can see this on stage, but I assume there is going to be a recording of some sort available at a point.

Fanon is absolutely fanon! I hate when people get weird about it. Sometimes I love a popular fanon theory, and sometimes I hate them. If you dislike the canon explanation for something, discard it in you fanworks, it's not illegal! If you want to keep to only show canon and ignore the books and now play, you can do that, too!

I hate that people get nasty toward aspects of canon for not confirming their fanon, though. It happens all the time everywhere, but it's still frustrating to watch it repeat.

Fanon is awesome, but people need to not confuse the two. It leads to such gross and weird behavior.
