Talk:Clarke and Lexa/@comment-26164766-20160317182803

Lol I just found out that fans created Elyza Lex. Dedication. Creativity. Love the Clexa fans!

"Elyza Lex emerged fully formed after a weekend of discussion and online brainstorming, mostly taking place on Tumblr. The construction of Elyza seems to have begun on the Saturday night after Lexa’s death in The 100 3×07 the previous Thursday. By Sunday, Elyza had a name and a series of possible “headcanon” ideas of how she could be inserted into the story on Fear the Walking Dead. By Monday, there were more elaborate story ideas and prompts popping up on tumblr. By Tuesday, a few fan fiction stories featuring Lexark had been written. By Wednesday, full-blown fan art, character description sheets, and by one count 21 fanfic stories had already been published on ao3.

[...] I suspect that Elyza Lex is now a permanent part of the 100 / FTWD crossover fandom. Tumblrites and folks on Twitter had to quickly come up with a hashtag or two that didn’t confuse existing FTWD fans. There was a brief period where FTWD fans were coming onto the Clexa tag and politely asking where all this was coming from. The Clexbian consensus machine decided the new tag would be #qtwd (for Queer the Walking Dead: in other words, genius.)"Original text
