Sign-ups are open for 2026!
Join us for THE 20th ANNUAL SUMMERGEN!!!
Summergen is an annual exchange of gen Supernatural fanworks. (It's been running every year since 2007, which makes this its twentieth round!) Participants each create a fanwork—a fic of at least 1,000 words, or an equivalent piece of art—based on a prompt submitted by another participant, and also receive a fanwork that was created based on one of the prompts that they have submitted. One fanwork is revealed per day, with creators remaining anonymous until the end-of-event reveal. It's a summer full of gen delights for all to enjoy!
