Hi everyone! with Samfro Summer a mere two weeks away, I wanted to give a couple reminders and updates.

there is an AO3 collection for this event! Here is the link. It will likely be opened the day before the event begins to accommodate all time zones :) If you’re posting your work on AO3 in addition to Tumblr, please add your work to the collection.

IMPORTANT: If you are going to be posting NSFW WRITING, please tag it accordingly. If you are going to be posting NSFW ART, tag it accordingly and (if necessary) put it under a “Read More”. Thank you :)

When posting your work, please use the hashtag #samfrosummer so that all the works can be kept together, and you can also tag the event blog @samfrosummer to give us a notification when you post! We’ll be reblogging every work under the event there.

We recommend giving your work a title so that we can alphabetize and link everything in one big masterpost at the end of the event. It can be as simple as “Samfro Summer Headcanons” :)

If you forget any of the themes, you can check the masterpost. And on that note, any kind of writing or art is accepted and encouraged.

You can participate as much or as little as you like! Pick a couple prompts that inspire you, or do all ten days!

We are so grateful to everyone who is planning to participate! Start wrapping up your work, because there are only TWO MORE WEEKS!

any more questions? shoot myself, @frodosrings or @samfrosummer an ask. happy creating!

[samfrosummer]

creativity is encouraged!

hiiiii!! um i have a question regarding samfro summer :33

do the drawings have to be strictly in-universe?? I dont know if im making myself clear but, like, huhhh?? :33

like, would drawing sam & frodo with weird little ears and/or tails be alright?

hi!! of course it’s alright!! any alternate headcanons/au’s/interpretations are completely acceptable and encouraged as long as the work follows the theme of the day! thanks for asking, have fun!

[samfrosummer]

we are looking forward to seeing what you do!!

I'm gonna start working on the #samfrosummer thingie before the exam season comes and definitely ends with me so requests may be postponed for a bit. Hope you don't mind, but I have to think about 10 different fics with these two lmao

[samfrosummer]

we’re so excited to see!👀

just named and outlined my contribution to samfro summer!

[samfrosummer]

THREE WEEKS UNTIL SAMFRO SUMMER!!

you heard that right folks!! we have officially drafted the (wip) samfro summer masterlist/archive post, and it will be pinned to this profile after the event ends! (maybe a day or two after, bc it takes awhile to link everything!)

if you post for the event, we suggest giving your work a title so we can alphabetize the list for easy navigation!

remember to also add any fics to the ao3 collection, linked on our pinned post! and ofc use the hashtag #samfrosummer and tag this blog on your posts so that we don’t miss them!
