SamSteve Vacation Week: June 28 – July 4, 2020

Welcome to the 2020 SamSteve Vacation Week, where fans of Sam Wilson & Steve Rogers’ relationship share creations set in any and all AU/non-canon worlds. Run by the SamSteve Small Gifts mods, this is a relaxed event for any and all types of fanworks, with no minimum requirements and no stress.

How It Works

Your friendly SSSG mods will provide a week’s worth of themes to inspire SamSteve creations. Anyone is welcome to create content based on any prompt. During the week leading up to Steve’s birthday (28 June - 4 July) creations may be posted to our Tumblr, Dreamwidth, and AO3 Collection.

General Guidelines

There aren’t many! We won’t have check-ins or sign-ups, simply post your submission during the week. The daily prompts are a suggestion to get your creativity going, but you don’t have to post your work based on the prompt schedule.

Fanworks of any size in any medium are welcome. Fic, digital art, traditional art, podfic, moodboards, remixes, vids, playlists, headcanons, songs, poems, interpretive dance — anything and everything is welcome! We do ask that all submissions are newly created for this fest and have not been shared previously.

Content Guidelines

• All creations should be focused on SamSteve in a romantic or queerplatonic relationship.
• Side pairings are fine, polyamory is fine, but SamSteve is the focus of this event and therefore should not be sidelined so that another ship can have the spotlight.
• Please be mindful in portraying characters of color respectfully and avoid perpetrating anti-Black stereotypes or tropes (check out this awesome resource page from the SamWilsonBirthdayBang for more info.)
• No sympathetically portrayed Hydra or other Nazi analogues.
• No explicit or romantically portrayed non-con.
• No sexual relationships between adult and minor characters.
• All content should be tagged appropriately and thoroughly.

Prompts:
Day 1 (June 28): Supernatural/Fantasy
Day 2: (June 29): Canon Divergence
Day 3 (June 30): Alternate Careers/No Powers
Day 4 (July 1): SciFi
Day 5 (July 2): Time Jump (Historical/Future)
Day 6 (July 3): Fusion/Crossover
Day 7 (July 4, Happy Birthday, Steve!): Surprise Party (Anything goes!)

Need more inspiration? No problem! We’ll be posting ideas throughout the month of June with more detailed prompt suggestions pulled from the mods’ imaginations.

Have some inspiration you’d like to share? Awesome! Feel free to submit your own inspo posts to get people’s creative juices flowing.

I have a question. If I write something small for this event that I might like to expand on later (creating a new work for the later thing, whether fic, illustration, remix, whatever) would that be ok? I'd like to participate, but I also have a lot of things happening and not as much time as I might like.

This would absolutely be welcome!
