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

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.
