#LSAW Day 3: Pop Culture

[lilyspencerappreciationweek]

Day 2 has been amazing! Loved seeing all the amazing pieces all of you are putting forward. It's been incredible and fun and we can't wait to see what you bring forward next.

Day 3 has two pretty great themes! Our first is Pop Culture, named - of course - for the many pop culture references that Lily's dialogue is well-known for. She often finds comfort in a flippant reference or a smart hilarious comment, even at the toughest of times. And pop culture is very much a part of that.

Our second theme is Missing Moments! As roommates and best friends, there are a lot of things Lily and the MC enjoy doing together, but this is about Lily's life, friends, activities and hobbies which the MC doesn't get to see when she's off doing her own thing. Like what was Lily's experience at the Shadow Den like? Or what did she and Kamilah do when the MC went with Adrian and Jax to Paris? This theme is about exploring Lily in those missing moments that were only implied in canon.

Any and all content is welcome during this week - fanfic, fanart, headcanons, meta, edits, moodboards, interactive media, even screenshots of your favourite Lily scenes!! Our only requirement is that the pieces should focus on Lily and present a positive depiction of her. WIPs and Throwback pieces are also more than welcome!

You can send pieces during any day of the week (not necessarily just the day of the theme) but do specify which day you meant the piece for!! We will keep a bonus week open for any pending entries too. Our rough deadline for entries will be July 21st. You can still send entries after the date and it will still be put up in the masterlist - this date is mostly for us to make the thank you video! Otherwise we will be open for entries until the next event, which means we will accept entries all year!!

Do keep in mind the following when you make your posts:

1. Use the tags #lilyspencerappreciationweek and #LSAW, along with the days you mean the content for (#LSAW Day 1, #LSAW Day 2)

2. Tag @lilyspencerappreciationweek, as well as hosts @sazanes and @lizzybeth1986

Get ready for our second edition of Lily Spencer Appreciation Week!!

Last year, we kicked off Halloween with this week. This year, we celebrate Lily's love for gaming by hosting it on Video Game Day - July 8th!

Smart, funny, sexy, resilient...there are a whole range of words one could use to describe Lily. She is the bright spot in a story that can turn very dark very fast. She's also brave and willing to fight for people with less privilege, as we can clearly see from the way she chooses to be part of the Shadow Den rather than any of the Clans in BB1.

We hope you can join us in celebrating this wonderful character! Here are our themes for the days during the week:

Day 1 - July 8th - Video Games/Character Appreciation

Day 2 - July 9th - Supernatural/Throwback

Day 3 - July 10th - Pop Culture/Missing Moments**

Day 4 - July 11th - Relationships*/AU

Day 5 - July 12th - Shadow Den

* By "relationships", we mean both platonic and romantic.

** By "missing moments" we mean scenes that weren't shown from the MC's perspectives and are only implied, eg. what did Lily and Kamilah do when the MC travelled with Adrian and Jax to Paris?

Any and all content is welcome!! Fic, art, edits, moodboards, gifs, meta, headcanons... everything goes! Our only requirement is that the pieces should be centered around Lily, and feature her in a positive way. WIPs and Throwback pieces are also welcome.

Be sure to tag @lilyspencerappreciationweek, and hosts @lizzybeth1986 and @sazanes in your posts. Also make sure that you tag your posts with #lilyspencerappreciationweek and #LSAW, along with the day you intend the posts for. This is to make sure we don't miss any of your posts!

A lot of fan community blogs will be running some great events around this time, and we highly encourage you to check them out! @choicesficwriterscreations, @choicesmonthlychallenge, @choicesholidays, @choicesprompts, @choicespride, @choicesflashfics, @choicescommunityevents.
