We're in the final countdown! If you have any questions that aren't addressed here, please reach out!

See below the cut for the text version.

It’s finally time! The countdown is on! Registration for Supergirl May-hem begins Friday, December 1st. Here are some things you need to know:

Registration starts December 1st and runs through December 9th at midnight GMT

The Beta list will go out to all accepted participants by January 5th

Writers have until January 12th to reach out and choose their Beta.

All artist pairings will be announced by January 12th to allow plenty of time for collaboration and creation.

The halfway point check-in will be March 24th. A rough first draft with 500-1000 words will be due and we can address any questions or concerns you may have.

You may sign up for as many roles as you like.

Accepted participants will receive an invite to the event discord server once the mods have organized the data.

Anyone writing a fic must have an AO3. All fics will need to be posted there. Tumblr and Twitter postings will be permitted for artists ONLY. All works must be linked. However we understand that not everyone has experience linking their work so we are happy to allow you to link your fic and art however you’d like, whether that’s posting together on AO3 as co-creators, using the ‘inspired by’ feature, or simply using a hyperlink.

This is for all WLW ships but to specify, ships for the main pairing must identify as a woman or genderqueer. Male identifying characters are of course welcome in secondary ships. However, ABO and GP fics will be permitted.

We will not tolerate abuse or bullying of any kind. A user/participant will be banned if such an issue is reported and substantiated. Anyone known for substantiated past abusive behavior will be turned away at sign-ups. If there are any users you know who have shown such behaviors, please let us know so we can act accordingly. We are dedicated to making this a safe space.

If you have any additional questions, please feel free to reach out to us. We love to hear from you and we want to make this event the best it can be for you.

Below is an infographic listing more information. We’re excited to share more with you soon!

Here is everything you need to know about Supergirl May-Hem

This is an event for all writers and artists in the Supergirl fandom.

The event will span from December 1st - The final week of May when your fics and art must be posted. (If you do not post in time, your work will not be added to the collection)

You may write about any characters on the show but the pairing must be a WLW ship.

Artists must be comfortable drawing for any WLW ship. Preferences will be considered but there are no guarantees. 

You will have the option to receive a prompt for your fic. This may be a single word, a short sentence or a line of dialogue. You will be able to choose your preference on the sign-up form.

All work must be completed by the deadline.

Minimum word count for fics is 2k. There is no maximum word count.

You may write a maximum of 2 fics with only one guaranteed to receive art.

There will be a community chat for all participants to receive support and encouragement.

You may choose your own beta. 

Artists and writers will be paired after sign-ups are over and you must be in contact for the entirety of the event to ensure everyone has time to work on their pieces. 

In this event, communication is critical. Reach out. Speak up. If there is no communication between collaborators for more than 4 weeks you lose your place in the event. Extenuating circumstances will be considered, but they must be communicated timely. Do not go radio silent.

We are not here to monitor or micromanage your creativity. You know your limitations and it is your responsibility to manage yourselves.

Summary:

When Maggie Sawyer meets the person who saved her daughter's life, she expected to be filled with gratitude, admiration, and joy. No one told her an undeniable attraction, a very much mutual one, would be on that list. The ladies grow closer, stepping toward a line they fear crossing. Luckily, Jamie Sawyer is there to give them a shove in the right direction. Sanvers family endgame. 

For our Sanvers Fans go enjoy the great works from these artists! Here is @morganastorm24   fic, and don’t forget to take a look at the art here

Welcome to the 2022 Supergirl Summer Collaboration!

This event will focus on the show as a whole, but when filling out the entry form, participants will have the option to select which ships they’d like to include in their Fic/Art so the pairs can be better matched. ALL SHIPS are welcome in this event, including the less popular ones.

Each team will consist of a writer and an artist who will work together to create a written fan fiction with a piece of art to accompany it. Teams can choose to come up with an idea together or have the art created first and then the fic or vice versa.

Participants will be matched with the following criteria:

Ship Compatibility: Since this is a fandom wide collaboration, teams are not required to focus on any particular Ship. However, since there are members of our fandom with a strong preference for/against certain ships, you will be an option to list ships that wish not to be included in the work.

Communication Preferences: this includes frequency of communication as well as methods of communication.

Rating/Content Comfort Level: While NSFW/Explicit content will be included, each individual has a different comfort level. Submission form will have a section where participants can list any content they are not comfortable with. This may seem odd to some, but this is a TEAM event, so both participants will need to feel comfortable having their names be associated with the content of the collaboration.

Important Things to Know

Participants will have the option to choose how much they’d like to collaborate with their partner so they will know how much communication to expect and no one will be uncomfortable.

A Discord Account is STRONGLY recommended to make communication from admin easier, but info will also be provided through socials and email.

Pairs can communicate however they choose - via email or Social Media.

All teams will be required to check in with Admin by May 1st with progress reports and any issues.

There will be Tumblr, Instagram, and Twitter accounts for the event where the completed works will be shared.

In the event that there are more writers than artists or vice versa, some participants may be asked to provide more than one item. Participants will be given a chance to select if they would be willing to double up, and no one will be asked to create more than 2 fics/art pieces.

Ongoing/MultiChapter Fics are ok.

Writers will need to provide an outline/story of the fic that they have come up with by May 1st. This isn’t an approval/denial situation, just a check in to make sure you’re working.

Writers are responsible for finding their own Beta/Proofreaders.

Rules:

For the safety and comfort of all participants, this event is for those who are 18 and older. Each participant is responsible for using good judgment when interacting with others online. Getting to know each other can be helpful and it’s great to make new friends, but remember to be cautious and respectful. If your partner requests to stick to discussing the event and nothing more, respect it.

NO Bullying of any sort. Any participant who refuses to treat their partner, and other participants, with dignity and respect will be removed from the event and banned from participating in future events. This includes, but is not limited to, refusing to use correct pronouns/names, hateful comments about sexuality/gender identity, body shaming, religion shaming, etc. Basically, be a NICE human.

Content such as Smut, Sexual Assault, Self Harm, Suicide, Murder, etc - as well as Art that depicts any of them - is allowed, ONLY if both members of the team are comfortable with it. If any of this is included in your work, be sure to use the proper trigger/content warnings!
