Welcome to the 2020 summer_of_giles ! We hope you're ready to once again celebrate a summer of Giles-y goodness!

Especially if you want to get your toes wet for the first time in making something fandom related! As in previous years, we are also accepting contributions posted on tumbr.

Entry for 2022 Summer of Giles @summerofgiles

2021 entry for @summerofgiles ✨

Summer of Giles is proud to be returning for another season of awesome Rupert Giles fan created works. We will be running through July only although if there is sufficient demand for more days I might extend into August . Sign-ups will open on May 16th with the usual rules of three days maximum per person and each day being open to two people. There will be the regular free for all day at the end as well of course. No matter where we are in the world, we are all affected by troubling times, so I hope this will be something of a distraction and an opportunity for everyone to share and keep in touch. Stay Safe. Stay Strong.

Summer of Giles First line Last line Drabble challenge is underway for three days. Open to everyone (over at dreamwidth), the challenge is to write a 100 word drabble using as your first line, the last line of the previous drabble. The stories so far have been excellent, come and check them out.
