Introducing Rolly Weekend:

Scheduled for June 26-29, crossing with the anniversary of the start of filming for It: Chapter One, the goal is to spread the word of this ship from Welcome to Derry by creating fanworks.

I'm talking fics, I'm talking fanart, I'm talking AMVs, playlists, what have you. Also, tagging with some variant of "Rolly Weekend" (#rolly weekend on Tumblr; #RollyWeekend on BlueSky; Rolly Weekend under "Additional Tags" on AO3; etc) will help with sorting.

Also, a note: While this show IS rated TV-MA, please keep in mind that these are tween characters, played by actual kids. There is a fine line (of course, there's been middle school-typical dialog within the show itself), but don't cross it by getting too explicit.

So, without further ado, the themes:

Friday, June 26: No-It AU

What if It never landed on the spot that eventually became Derry? Basically, what if all these characters It killed didn't die? What if investigating It weren’t what brought Ronnie and Lilly together? And, how different would the town be? Would it be just as shitty? Less? More!?

Saturday, June 27: Post-1962 Cycle/Rolly during other Cycles

How about a reunion? What if they came back during the 1989 and/or 2016 Cycle? Or, even if not, how would they have interacted with the Losers, anyway? Would they have? What about off-Cycle years? Where were they during 11/22/63?

Alternatively, what if they lived during other Cycles? What if Ronnie and Lilly were contemporaries of the Losers’ (as the former was, in the book)? Or kids in 2016? Why not go back in time? Bradley Gang? Kitchener Ironworks? Earlier?

Hell, what about other continuities? What if Ronnie wasn’t just some background victim in the book (side note, I think her age in the book still places her birth year around the same as in the show)? What about the miniseries?

Sunday, June 28: Full genre transplant

Send them to space, have them in a fantasy world, make them superheroes, for all I care. Hell, put them in another piece of media! Jedi AU? Sure. Middle-Earth? Why not? Send them to ’Salem’s Lot to fight vampires, even! Or, pivot the other way and put them in a more mundane story. What if they lived in River City when Harold Hill showed up? Or a western? Christmas romcom?

Monday, June 29: Finally, free day!

This is your sandbox. You wanna write a coffee shop AU? Go ahead. Wanna fill in a gap in the story ore even rewrite the whole show? Do it. Or, maybe, you just want to revisit a past theme? I’m not gonna stop you.

Okay, have fun!
