1-DAY NOTICE: Summergen Sign-ups close Saturday, June 14 [at 11:59PM in Samoa!]!!

Summergen 2025 Sign-ups are LIVE!

✨ Let's celebrate 20 years of SPN fandom together! ✨

[Summergen has run since 2007, as a summer festival of gen SPN fanworks! Originally headquartered on LiveJournal, it has moved to AO3.]

What is Summergen?

Summergen is an anonymous, prompt-based, gen fanworks gift exchange originally designed to help Supernatural fans while away the desert months of summer hiatus. Since the show has ended, we just can't quit it. SPN is the Hotel California of fandoms. :D

Basically, you'll submit a set of prompts for a fanwork you'd like to receive. In return, you'll receive a set of prompts from someone else. You'll have just over a month to create a fanwork of at least 1,000 words (fic) or art equivalent (use your best judgment, stalwart artists!). Once you're finished, you'll submit it to the AO3 collection. It won't be visible yet--we'll slowly reveal one fanwork per day, keeping the creator anonymous. Once all fanworks are posted, we'll do creator reveals and see who made what!

Important Dates

June 1 – June 14: Sign-ups.

June 15: Assignments sent out.

July 21: Fanworks due. There is an automatic one-week grace period following this deadline. If you need just a few more days, assume you have 'em.

July 28: Deadline for withdrawals or extension requests. If we don't hear from you by midnight of the last inhabited time zone (Samoa Time Zone, UTC +13), you will be in-default and at risk for not participating next year.

July 29: Posting begins!

Sign up on Ao3!

Pssst... something this way wicked comes...

The 2025 edition of Supernatural Summergen, a fanwork gift exchange, is coming SOON!

Established in 2007, Summergen is a summer gift exchange for gen SPN fanworks. Gifts are posted anonymously, one per day. And at the end of the challenge, the event closes with a Big Reveal, where everyone gets to find out who made what!

Interest piqued? In the meantime, check out Summergen 2024 to catch up on fanworks, get into the zone, and/or start dreaming up prompts for 2025.

Let's celebrate 20 years of SPN fandom together!
