We're Still in Love with Scott McCall — Appreciation Week 2025 is Coming!
Get ready for this year’s Scott McCall Appreciation Week, running June 22-28, 2025! To participate, simply make something about Scott and tag it with #ScottMcCallWeek25, or mention us @scottappreciation. Gen works, all Scott ships, and all types of content (fics, edits, art, playlists, gifs, etc.) are welcome. We have included some suggested prompts below, and look forward to enjoying everything you create!
All fics must be Scott-centric and Scott-positive. Scott does not need to be the POV character, but the primary focus of the fic should be Scott’s emotions/interests/needs/etc.
WRITING PROMPTS:
Day One - Only If You Don't Learn: - Throughout the show, we see Scott defy uninformed traditions and prejudices time and again, whether it's through turning his enemies into friends, becoming a true Alpha, or refusing to give up on seemingly lost causes.
Day Two - I Think It's My Fault: Scott internalizes guilt so severely he keeps his wounds from healing and nearly dies from it—but when does that start? How does it affect him? What do his friends do in response?
Day Three - That Looks Kind of Important: Scott's only human, and today, that means play! What does Scott do to unwind? Practice lacrosse with Liam or run with Hayden? Play pranks on Stiles or Kira? Mess around on the guitar? Discuss!
Day Four - I Had A Plan, Too: As Peter Hale said in s1, not all teenagers are as smart as Scott! Scott's planning and alliance-making saves the day in multiple seasons, in big moments or quiet realizations. Use today to explore the way Scott thinks!
Day Five - I Made First Line: Let's talk ambition! What do Scott's hopes and dreams look like, whether it's in academia, relationships, lacrosse, or career? How did he react to getting into UC Davis? What did it take to move out of Beacon Hills? How did he defeat Monroe?
Day Six - It Doesn’t Look Like a Demon to Me: What does it mean to love so much you burn it into your arm? To keep safe the tail of someone you may never see? And how does Scott feel loved in return? This prompt is for exploring everything about Scott's relationship with love and lovers!
Day Seven - Dealer's choice: Free day!
VISUAL PROMPTS:
Day One: Quotes/Poetry/Lyric
Day Two: 3b
Day Three: Synecdoche
Day Four: Power
Day Five: Style

ALTERNATE:
You Have No Idea What I Can Do: Anything set in or around 3b! Does the shadow wolf ever stop haunting him? How does he process his father's encroachment on his life? Is being an alpha feel different than being a beta? All of 3b's fair game!
