By popular (in some circles) demand, LOTTIELEE WEEKEND 3 will be held THIS JUNE, FRIDAY THE 20TH THROUGH MONDAY THE 23TH, due to a tie in the poll on the dates which I broke on the basis of the other options all being closer to these dates.
As a reminder, Lottielee Weekend is a fandom event to celebrate, analyze, and generally come together over the relationship between Lottie Matthews and Laura Lee from the TV show Yellowjackets. While Lottielee Weekend will focus on the idea of a romantic connection between Lottie and Laura Lee, any and all fanworks—fic, art, edits, vids, meta, playlists—focusing on any facet of their relationship are welcome.
Each day will have an optional theme to spark your creativity, plus alternative prompts for Days 2, 3, and 4.
Day 1: Laura Lee at Lottie's Death
Season 3 was polarizing in the fandom, and while a lot of Lottielee shippers (including the mod) liked it overall, one common point of contention was an almost complete absence of Laura Lee appearances, mentions, and acknowledgements, even when Lottie died. With this prompt, you fix that.
A classic for a reason. The anon who suggested this had a pre-crash situation, perhaps a little like Madoka and Homura from Puella Magi Madoka Magica, with Laura Lee confused about how clingy and protective of her the other defender on her varsity soccer team is all of a sudden.
Alternative prompt: Pre-crash romcom. Bonus if it's narrated by Leonard.
Prophet!Laura Lee and believer!Lottie, rich!Laura Lee and middle-class!Lottie, whatever takes your fancy. Yellowjackets is a show whose character writing deals a lot with polarities, oppositions, and foils, and Lottie and Laura Lee's dynamic is no exception here. Flip the script on that!
Alternative prompt: Historical AU
Lottie and Laura Lee don't get a ton of agency over their all-too-limited time together in Yellowjackets canon, but you do. If you've felt bound to the prompts on previous days and want to cut loose, here's where to do it.
More-optional-than-usual alternative prompt: Fairy tale AU
Some ground rules: Lottielee Weekend is for everyone. Clearly warn for explicit sexual content or for any gore or brutality that goes beyond what we see in Yellowjackets canon. Do not bash other ships, although criticizing or problematizing them (or even criticizing or problematizing Lottielee! We love them, but they're not without fault) is fine. Above all else, have fun, or what passes for fun with a ship as tragic as our poor doomed prophet and saint.
We will be tracking #lottieleeweekend and sharing submissions on this blog once the event begins. Feel free to use the hashtag on other platforms as well!
