Rules and FAQ under the cut.

What is Midamfest?

It’s a celebration of the relationship between Michael the archangel and Adam Milligan from the TV show Supernatural! 

Adam’s birthday is on September 29, which is also the Feast of Saint Michael (also known as Michaelmas)—the perfect time to celebrate our favorite angel/vessel pair.

There are seven days of prompts, with the last one falling on September 29 itself.

You can make ANYTHING you want for these prompts (art, fic, poetry, mood boards, playlists, gifsets, fanvids, etc.) as long as they are Midam-centric and relate somehow back to the prompt word. There’s no minimum or maximum word count and no sign-ups.

Just tag your submissions with #midamfest2026. If you post your creation on AO3, be sure to add it to the Midamfest 2026 collection.

Do I need to sign up?

Nope! If you want to participate, just post your creation ON or AFTER the assigned day for whichever prompt you were inspired by. There’s no time limit either, so feel free to work on Midamfest prompts after Michaelmas.

Does my fanwork have to highlight a romantic relationship between Michael and Adam?

Nope! It just needs to focus on their relationship. You are certainly welcome to create gen fics/art that focus on a platonic relationship. Or go wild in an AU universe and make them enemies. The possibilities are endless ;)

Does my creation have to be about Adam Milligan and Jake Abel's Michael? What about Ghoul!Adam?

Michael!John, Michael!Dean, Michael!Rowena, and Apocalypse World Michael can all be part of this event. Any Michael in true form or any vessel, even if they weren’t his vessel in canon, is allowed. Alternate universe Adam Milligans (such as Endverse or Huntercorp—possibilities, possibilities) are also permitted. And of course, any other AU scenario is perfectly fine, too!

Fanworks featuring Ghoul!Adam are permitted as well, but I would still prefer the focus to be on the relationship between Michael and the real Adam Milligan. (Ex, a fic about Apocalypse World Michael resurrecting Ghoul Adam so they can take over the world together, while compelling, might not be right for Midamfest lol. Unless the reason AW Michael does it is because he sees the relationship between Adam and Michael 1.0 and it makes him burn with jealousy... you know what, someone should write this actually.)

Is this an all ages event?

Yes! If you are under the age of 18, please keep any fics you write for the fest to a “T” rating or below, and your art non-explicit.

Do I need to create something for every prompt?

Nope! You can do just one prompt, all seven, or any number in between.

How do I browse the creations?

Peruse the #midamfest2026 tag. This account will also reblog every creation. If you see that I’ve missed a post and still haven’t reblogged it after it’s been up for a full day, please ping me @midamfest in the comments!

Can I use AI?

NO. Generative AI usage is not permitted for Midamfest works. I will not be going on any AI witch hunts, but I do expect everyone to engage with these prompts honestly. 

If you need assistance with writing or art, please reach out to me here or at my main account @bethmints and I will happily connect you with someone who can help. We don't need chatbots when we have community <3

Sam, Dean, keep an eye on your brother!!!

I really wanted to depict him at different ages—in this case, 17, 18, and 19. In addition to these small portraits, I’d like to draw a few full-length portraits of him in different outfits. This guy really loves to show off his thrift-store clothes :DD

And... I have to give credit to the legends — Nirvana, the Pixies, and Radiohead. While I was drawing, their music filled me with inspiration for hours on end. Adam would undoubtedly have been just as in love with these geniuses as I am—if not more so.

Jake Abel really changed the world when he said he wanted to explore if Michael or Adam was a better kisser. I'll have what he's having, thanks

Although I gotta say I was motivated purely by selfish reasons—I want more Midam fic and art lol. Glad there are others on the same page though!!

possible midam event??

Would anyone be interested in a really informal Midam event for Michaelmas/Adam's birthday?

Right now I'm thinking maybe just a week of prompts for art and fics, ending on 9/29.

[midamfest]
