Congratulations to all of the incredible authors and artists who took part in the tenth round of the Dean/Cas Pinefest!
This year, 19 teams gifted the Dean/Cas fandom a wildly impressive 974,977 words of pine-filled fic, and 71 gorgeous works of art!
Once again we've been absolutely floored by the depth of creative talent we’ve been spoiled with in this fandom, and we're so glad to see that love for Dean and Castiel is still going strong all these years after the show ended 💚💙
Speaking of which... we're still aboard this ship with the rest of you, and we'll be back for round eleven later this year! Make sure to follow us here on Tumblr so you don't miss the official announcement!
This year we've also been running the Evergreen Mini-Challenge in celebration of a whole decade of Pinefest, and you still have a few more days to fill as many Evergreen Mini-Challenge prompts as you'd like! Participation is open to absolutely everyone, whether you completed the main challenge or not, and you don't need to register to take part. Just head over here to see the details & tag us in your posts!
We'll share one last roundup of Evergreen fills on Wednesday April 8th, when we'll also award the 10th Anniversary Milestone Badges we teased back before this round began. Do these badges have any real value? No! But they're fun, so we hope you'll like them anyway 🌲
As always, we'll be sharing all of this year's masterposts again in the coming days and weeks, but in the meantime you’ll find links to every entry from the 2026 round under the cut or in the collection on Ao3!
Make sure to let the authors and artists know how much you enjoyed their creations with a like, kudos, or best of all, a reblog, rec, or comment!
Happy pining, everyone!
