Summer of Supergirl is a Tumblr challenge blog started in the summer hiatus between the first season of Supergirl and the second.
About the Challenge
- Open for anyone to participate (fic writers, fan artists, gif makers, etc.), we want to help make the wait for season 2 just a little bit shorter and keep the fandom going strong through this summer! No rules here: the prompts are only guidelines to help you along, and the main idea is to get out there, have fun, and create some new content to celebrate our favorite characters from this super show![1]
