All weekend long from June 5th, 6th, and 7th 2026 creators can work on any rpf fanworks (new or old) from wherever they are in the world. Work at your own pace and use our server to check-in and recharge when you need a little inspiration - or a reminder to hydrate!

Do we post our works during these dates?
This is not a requirement and there is no pressure to do so. This event is just about making progress creating something - fics, art, podfic, gifsets, etc. By the end of the weekend if you've completed something that you want to post that's great and the mods will happily share it once it's published!
What's with the beach theme? What if I don't want to write about that?
That's just our aesthetic for the retreat weekend. We're encouraging everyone to imagine themselves writing by a relaxing seaside with a fruity drink nearby. This doesn't mean your works have to be set at the beach or have anything to do with this theme at all. It's just a way to add some fun and whimsy to keep our monkey brains engaged. For example, I'm going to buy some pineapple juice to drink out of a fun glass while I write - but I've always loved committing to a bit and being a little weird whenever possible!
Is this a recurring event?
The server is committed to hosting at least two more retreats this year. I have already started planning for August and October's retreats (have the themes picked out and materials started) so they'll be happening no matter what. So if the June dates don't work for your schedule (or if you see this post after the event has past) you're still welcome to join the discord so you can be notified of the next retreat and vote in our polls to help choose which weekend should be next.
Maybe the retreats will become so popular we'll host one a month or brainstorm other types of events to host! And no matter our event status the server will be open to creators to share prompts and resources, ask for beta help, or post a freewrite in our Lightning Forum - a place to post when inspiration strikes and you want to share your ficlet in real time. Bonus: you choose whether to ask for audience suggestions or not.

They started off the month with silly jokes and hearteyes (in front of a guest, no less) for a promotional video.

For GF the boys explored a haunted ship off the coast of California where they were in close quarters.
We also got the return of a live Debrief that started off with another reference to the "running joke" of them getting divorced, which was re-enforced by the crew during the stream.

For MF, Ryan once again wanted to roleplay finding out Shane had died but it also turned into a bit about Shane having a flat butt. Not the first time Ryan has made this observation.
The streamer exclusives were especially packed with bonus Shyan moments starting with the MF bloopers when the crew gave Ryan and Shane extra large ice cubes to break open. Ryan decided his tactic would be to crush the ice - with his butt - as part of his "Extreme Method". It certainly will be stuck in our memories for an extremely long time.
Then in Drink to That, Shane's jealous side came out. (Editor note: listen carefully to that clip for Sam off-camera calling out Shane's jealousy and Matt's comment of "it's like this all the time".)
And in the List-o-Mania episode at the end of the month Ryan joked that Shane is into rope play.

After so many chaotic moments from Shyan this month it's almost a relief that Steven and Andrew were normal about each other in their first stop on their Texas trip. Andrew calling young Steven "fascinating" is a wholesome reset to revisit after all the nasty boys nonsense.
Podcasts
Even though Ryan and Shane are recording content for their podcasts separately now they were still giving us gay tidbits this month.
Like Ryan complimenting Josh's physique during their collab and asking to be pixelated while eating like it was adult content.
And in the premiere of the new QP podcast Shane chose a favorite Beatles song that could have some gay subtext.

Let these fuel your Shyan headcanons (RyanByron or ShaneMatt are valid too)!
