Here they are!! The themes for Clexa Pride Week 2020!!
I decided to change things up a little bit this year. Instead of choosing one theme per day, I went with two. There were multiple reasons I decided to do this, first it was because I thought it’d be fun, second because people were going in voting a dozen or more times in a row for one theme (literally in the span of an hour, one theme went from 4 votes to 31…), among other reasons.
So, writers (and artists, creators, whoever wants to participate) here’s what you do. You take a look at the categories for a given day and you decide if you want to do one or if you want to challenge yourself a bit and combine the two. I tried to take one theme that was popular and one that didn’t have someone voting for it over and over again, and combined them for a given day.
Who doesn’t like a little challenge??
Day 1: (June 21) – Artist and Creators Collaboration/Inspiration
This is where artist and other creators inspire us with their work! Writers pick a piece and write something that fits it.
Day 2: (June 22) – Royalty/First Pride
Is Lexa the queen of some remote country? Is Clarke finally going to attend her first Pride? Or maybe, one of them is a princess and convinces her parents to throw the first Pride in their little country?
Day 3: (June 23) – Sports/I May Have Told (blank) We’re Dating
Sports AUs are some of my favorites so I was not mad that this one was popular this year!! One of them is an athlete, the other a doctor/marketing specialist/brand rep. They could be neighbors who rarely speak until one of them lies to their friends about dating the other.
Day 4: (June 24) –Popular/Nerd & Teacher/Professor
Who doesn’t dig the popular/nerd trope? Who? They’re in school, or at work, one is beloved and the other is overlooked. Maybe, they’re teachers or professors, maybe they teach the same subject and they’re rivals for publication.
Day 5: (June 25) – Soulmates/Kiss Cam
And they were soulmates! I’m pretty sure any of the typical soulmate ideas could fit in with a Kiss Cam scenario. But it’s a fun little twist right?
Day 6: (June 26) – Military/Zombies
One of them is a fighter pilot or a tank mechanic. One of them could be in the National Guard. They could meet the love of their life while on leave and have a constant countdown running in their head for when their plane takes off. And zombies! One could be a former infantryman or a medic. Really, the possibilities are endless here.
Day 7: (June 27) – Free Day
Pick a theme or trope you don’t see on the list but love. Or send an anon and I’ll think of something for you!!
