Have you been considering signing up for the Sam Winchester Big Bang 2022? In that case, now is your moment! We are open for author sign-ups until 15 May. There’s still plenty of time to write before rough draft submission in July, and if you to decide to go for a mini-bang (you don’t have to state a preference yet) then the minimum length is only 5k words. We welcome all ships and none: as long as your fic is Sam-centric, the SWBB wants you! Visit our launch post for more info about rules and timelines.
if you’ve been around on here for the past few months, you’ve probably seen more negativity than you can shake a stick at, and honestly i’m tired of it. originally this was going to be a birthday writing challenge for me (because i turn 21 on feb 7th!) but instead i decided to open things up a little more, and try as well as i can to foster positivity among both writers and readers, because we all could use something to cheer us up at this point, and more fanfiction in our lives is never a bad thing. i’ve collected a bunch of prompts and different ideas that you can use for a fic, and this will be open all the way through new year’s eve 2022!
rules:
to join, send me an ask with the character/pairing you want to write and the prompt you want. i’ll provide a list of characters/pairings after the rules.
if you could reblog this post to the blog you will be posting from it would help me out so much (especially if your main blog isn’t your writing blog like me), and then this might make its way to others who may be interested.
for your fic itself, please don’t include any of the following topics: smut of any kind (resident asexual here!), incest, character/ship bashing, or real person fiction
i’ll tag some people that may be interested at the end, but please don’t feel pressured if you can’t swing it right now/don’t want to join!

You’re the final boss in a video game, and you’ve just returned from destroying the hero’s town, starting them on their journey. You retreat to your lair to plan, when one of your minions bursts in, telling you about the bizarre exploits of the hero. “Oh no,” you think. “He’s a speedrunner.”
I sigh as I fall onto my throne, my fingers rubbing at my temples.
I had been revived enough times to experience speed runners before. Those weren’t heroes. They were monsters, only caring to kill me.
“Minion 16?”
“Yes, Almighty Lord of Darkness!” The squeaky voice replied.
“Be good. Find my son Bermuda, he will be in charge and you will be his advisor.”
“Wait, sir, your not going to-”
“Face this so called hero? No, I’m going to talk to Lady Luck. We need them to get the worst luck possible. They might give up on this country if their luck is terrible enough.”
“And if they don’t?”
“Then,” I sigh, turning around, activating my armor and materialize my great sword, Blood drinker. “They will have to face me.”
My armor clinks as I step towards the doorway, towards the light before I hesitate.
“Minion 16?”
“Yes Almighty Lord of Darkness?”
“If I fail, use Plan Omega, take my son and run.”
A grim silence followed. I couldn’t look at the minion. They had been loyal to me since the day I found the sword.
“But, don’t worry, I won’t fail. The plan is just if worst comes to worst.” I found the words spilling out of my mouth before I could stop it.
The minion seemed to shake themselves out of their shock as I heard a jingling sound.
“You’re right! The Almighty Lord of Darkness will never be defeated.”
A bitter smile forms from behind the helmet as I open the door. No one would know that I’ve already been defeated long ago.
So last year I wrote this piece for my Minimum Standards Practise Test. I got level 4 (The Highest) and was pretty proud of my result. Anyways here it is. The question asked was “If you could go back in time where would you go”
So, you want to know where I would go if I was given the opportunity to travel back in time? At first glance, I might’ve said something along the lines of; ‘To reconcile with my past self’ or 'To watch a large historical event take place’. Alas, this question requires a larger quantity of thought than that. The question refers to you as going back in time, not stating whether or not you could go back to where you began. If the offer was to go back and not return to the exact point of which you left I would not go anywhere. Let’s assume for the following that it also included the ability to go forward, how many times would I be able to move fluidly through time. If I get one chance, one moment to go back and glimpse at myself the smartest act would be to preserve my chance, so when I lay cold and full on my deathbed I can go back in time and watch my happiest moment play through my head one last time.
But! But, but, but, but! Say I was given more than one chance to fluidly fold through the veil of time, my choice would be very different. Sure I would go back and watch everything play out, I have a rule not to change any events, but after that what would I do? Now we come to another question, am I travelling alone? If Doctor Who is anything to go off then travelling by oneself might become empty and tiresome. Although if I was alone there is one thing I would do. I would test time and her laws myself. Travelling through time I would test theories, change minor events and see how much I can do before time snaps. Can two of the exact same beings exist at the same time? What happens if I kill something in the future and bring it to the past, what effect would that have on the future? Alas if I did do this I would be driven to complete my final question. What happens to me if I kill myself in the past?
It’s quite clear to see that sending me back in time alone is a very bad idea but there is one last and final question you must ask about the situation, can I choose where I come out? If I could fluidly travel back and to the point I left in time, if I could travel with a partner and if I could travel more than once then can I have the ability of teleportation ingrained into that? This question is vital as if you went back in time and found yourself, in a hostile place, inside a mountain as the ground level changes over time, your body contorted into a tree as one has existed where you stood or witch no currency and no way to travel the entire aspect of time travel is completely ruined. Unless you could somehow see the exact place that you are going to at that exact point in time so your body would still remain whole I would not travel at all.
Although I did say the previous question was my 'last question’ there are so many more that must be addressed before even attempting to go through time. A main one of which is how will you get there and in what form? On the topic of 'how’ I refer as to whether this is an ability, you can do with your mind or an ability you can do with a vehicle or enclosure. Inside an enclosed area would be the safest way to travel if you could bend around time. Bend around the objects that are there at that time and completely prevent the last problem from even existing. Although the form is very important too. Will I be able to touch things or simply spectate in a ghostly apparition. Not being able to touch things would ruin most of my plans.
Now that my queries have been addressed I would like to give you the answer you’ve been waiting for all this time. if i could go back in time, bend around the objects that are there, influence and touch the world, travel with others, be able to teleport, control where I go from my mind without an enclosure, travel to the moment I started at, do it more than once and see where I would appear directly before I do I would explore the wonders of the world. I would grow old with a friend, I would show artists how great they became, I would see the paths of history truly play out as they happened, I would be the mysterious stranger know throughout time for helping others. I would become a myth, a hero, a legend. I wouldn’t go back in time and change the person that I am, I would go back and help people. Because if my deepest desire is to go and help, I wouldn’t need to change a thing.
Welcome to Every Time We Touch, an event that celebrates the hundreds of possible ways Sam and Dean Winchester could get together! In this event, we’ll try to create a first-time Wincest fic or artwork for as many episodes of Supernatural as we can. Episode sign-ups open today (January 24, 2021, Dean’s birthday), and the deadline for your works is May 2 (Sam’s birthday).
This event works like a prompt fest and takes place on AO3. The “prompts” are the 327 episodes of Supernatural. You sign up by claiming one or several prompts (episodes), which you commit to filling by claiming them. Leave a comment on the episode you want on this spreadsheet; make sure you include your AO3 username so we can verify that the fill matches the sign-up. Completed works should be posted in the AO3 collection for this event. You are welcome to link and share elsewhere as well, of course. The episode you created for should be identified in the tags or notes of your work.
Fic should be a minimum of 500 words, but beyond that it can be as long as you like. Art should be at minimum a finished sketch and should have a visible connection to the episode you chose.
FAQ: What kind of first time? Your work can be about a first kiss, first date, or first time having sex—whatever works for you, as long as it’s some version of Sam and Dean getting together romantically and/or sexually.
Are any topics banned? Nope—just make sure to tag and warn appropriately.
How closely should the work connect to the episode? Can it be AU? The work should take place during or after the episode. Some canon divergence is perfectly fine within those boundaries.
What about episodes where Sam and Dean are separated? You can still sign up for those! Just be creative. For example, you could write about Sam or Dean fantasizing about the other for the first time.
Are threesomes allowed? Sure, as long as the focus is on Sam and Dean getting together.
Can I submit something that I already created or posted prior to this event? No, all works should be created specifically for this event.
Can I claim multiple episodes? Can a single episode receive multiple works? You can select up to five episodes to create for. A single episode can receive up to two works.
Further questions can be sent to our askbox here on tumblr. If you want your question to be answered privately, please say so in your ask (and of course make sure you aren’t on anon). Happy creating!
I’m excited to announce that we now have 100 sign-ups to the First-Time Wincest Fest! There are also already 15 awesome works in the AO3 collection—check them out!
If you want to join us, sign up here, and read the rules and FAQ here. There are still hundreds of available episodes to choose from if you want to create fic or art about when Sam and Dean first become Sam/Dean :)
