Welcome to our third edition of Sloane Washington Appreciation Week!! This gorgeous, adorable, kick-ass, incredibly relatable woman with her love for science, her admiration for ambitious, knowledgeable women and her endless capacity for bravery - she's been such an integral part of the Perfect Match story 💜

Every year, we try to celebrate her around Feb 11th, which is International Day of Women and Girls in Science. This year's themes are a mix of some of the previous years, along with some exciting new ones! We hope you're inspired by them.

This event will be held from February 11th to 15th. Any content is welcome, as long as it is Sloane-focused and shows a positive depiction! Fanfic, fanart, meta, edits, moodboards, playlists, headcanons, interactive media - even simple appreciation posts and screenshots of fave scenes will be great!

Here's a list of the themes we have for SWAW 2024:

Day 1 (Feb 11th) - Women in STEM/Girl Power

Day 2 (Feb 12th) - Written in the Stars

Day 3 (Feb 13th) - Throwback/Character Appreciation/Friendships

Day 4 (Feb 14th) - Happy Valentines Day!

Day 5 (Feb 15th) - Hobbies/Pets

It isn't absolutely necessary to post content only on the day of the theme! We often accept pieces even when sent on a later date, and also keep a bonus week in case you couldn't finish your pieces during the week. We also don't mind WIPs, so if you have one that is Sloane-centric... we'd LOVE to see it!! We also love throwback pieces, so if you have any that you made previously, do reblog them and tag us!

We also will be accepting pieces after the event is over, and all year round until the next SWAW! So even if you have your post ready much later, please don't hesitate to tag us! 🤗

SWAW 2024 Day 2 - Written in the Stars

Tagging: @sloanewashingtonappreciationweek, @lizzybeth1986, and @sazanes

I've always really liked those pictures of Sailor Moon characters where the shadows are galaxies so I wanted to try my hand at it for Sloane.

Day 2 - Written in the Stars - Queen Star

The idea of Queen of the Stars stayed in my mind 😅

Thank you! @sloanewashingtonappreciationweek @lizzybeth1986🥰

SWAW Day 3: Character Appreciation

Sloane Washington style swap with Shannon Fox in Wake the Dead

Sloane would totally have gotten along with Shannon and probably help find a cure for zombieism. I hc she created Hayden, not as a matchmaking android but as a way to help gather materials and survive the outbreak. (Also she was lonely and wanted a friend). It was just fate when they stumbled across MC, Damien, Nadia and Steve. I feel like the PM friend group would have survived the outbreak and still found some humor in it all.

I just appreciate how smart and resourceful Sloane is. No matter how bad it gets, she thrives to overcome it all. And as a woc in the STEM field, she more than likely ran into some hurdles and still she persevered.

Beach Love: "Glasses and Missy" at Komodo Island

(FCs:

Sloane Washington: Nelly Muse

Alana Kusuma: Marion Jola)

So I've always had it in my mind that in both my poly!MCs-verses esp, Sloane and Alana begin to date at some point. I really liked the vibes I got from them in canon, so it's always been on my mind to pair them up. I feel like Sloane would get together with Khaan and Alana at least in every universe of mine, but at different times and with a different set of circumstances (in two of those universes Alana is involved with my polyam!MCs - Basil and Hawthorne - as well)

I envision that for their fifth year as a couple, Alana takes Sloane to Indonesia for a holiday. It's actually part of a group trip, but Alana wanted to treat her to something special and brought her there early.

Alana's not very keen on stuff that seems to indicate commitment tbh, so her doing this for Sloane is a pretty big deal. A few small hcs I have about this holiday:

• They binge out on bakso (meatballs!) and grilled corn

• Both love collecting seashells. Alana likes the worm snail and conch type, Sloane loves the scallop style and horse conch. Also colourful helmet shells.

• Sloane has gone snorkeling with the MC before (Basil gets her a pearl, Hawthorne gets her a seashell), but this time Alana and Sloane go river rafting. It's terrifying and exhilarating at the same time - but Sloane can always trust Alana to get her to push herself without feeling unsafe.

• They love watching the sunset together.

• Sloane has phases where she loves the beach, and where she isn't at all into it (sensory issues), but this holiday fortunately happens at a point when she's absolutely down for it.

• Sloane develops a taste for Arak Bali during her stay. She takes a bottle home.

• Did they do any skinny dipping? Yes they did, though Sloane did think a thousand times before taking that plunge. Nadia was so proud 😄

SWAW 2024 Day 1 - Women in STEM/Girl Power

Tagging: @sloanewashingtonappreciationweek, @lizzybeth1986, @sazanes

Year three, let's go!!! Look... look... look at me. Look at me. Look me in the eye and tell me that MOTY MC's daughter would not adore Sloane. That's right you can't because you know damn well it's true. After her reformation of Eros, Sloane's popularity among girls interested in STEM careers goes through the roof. I can see her judging various science competitions around the US in order to encourage and inspire other girls, so I've drawn the outcome of one of those experiences here.
