Hi Sam squad! We’re only fifteen days away from Samtember 2025!!!

If you need a refresher on this year's prompts, you can find the full calendar here. 

See you in September! ✮

[samsseptember]

Hi, Sam squad! Thank you to everyone who sent in prompt suggestions. Here's the final calendar for Samtember 2025!!!

As per usual, the event will run from Monday, September 1st to Tuesday, September 30th, with a prompt for each day. Check out the rules and guidelines below the cut and don't hesitate to drop us an ask if you have any questions.

See you in September! ✮

1. This is a no-pressure event. Fill out one prompt or fill all of them. Do as many as you like. You can also mix multiple prompts in one post.

2. All forms of fan content are welcome: fanfics, gifsets, moodboards, fanart, fan videos, graphics or edits. Whichever way you can think of to celebrate Sam, we'll take it.

3. Remember to tag @samsseptember and use #samtember2025 so we can find your post.

4. Please also include the day or prompt you’re filling (for example, if the day 5 prompt is “redwing,” use “#day 5” or “#redwing” as one of your tags).

If you are uploading your work to AO3:

A. Please include which prompt you’re filling in your notes.

B. You can also add your work to our Samtember 2025 collection that you can find here.

✮ IMPORTANT THINGS TO BE MINDFUL OF WHEN CREATING ✮

KEEP YOUR POSTS SAM-CENTRIC

Avoid framing Sam solely as a caretaker or emotional support for other characters. We also suggest staying away from AO3 tags like “Sam Wilson is a gift” or “Sam Wilson is a saint” that perpetrate this harmful trope.

Avoid focusing solely on other characters or ships. This is a Sam Wilson event, and he's always the main character in our hearts.

NO RACISM OR BIGOTRY WILL BE TOLERATED

Be mindful that race affects every aspect of Sam's life, including his interactions with other characters and the police or the government in his duties as Cap.

Be mindful of not writing Sam in a way that would be considered a harmful racist stereotype or falling into the angry/sassy black man trope.

If you are making fan art, avoid whitewashing Sam’s skin or portraying him with exaggerated proportions that would be considered a harmful stereotype of black men.

HAVE FUN AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO ALL YOUR WONDERFUL WORKS! ✮
