Family Secret was a challenge in Supernatural fandom. Prompts were suggested by fans, and then claimed by participants, who had to write a fic that was a minimum of 1000 words. All stories had to be focused on the Winchester family, and no AUs, other than Canon Divergence AUs, were allowed. 31 fics were completed for the challenge, including 20 gen, 6 het, 6 Sam/Dean, and 1 John/Dean.
