Summer of the 69

Official 2026 Theme Poll

2026-05-02T04:04:25Z

Posted by: soc_puppet

It's time to pick the 2025 themes!

While the first and last two themes are set, there are ten other theme slots to fill! Nineteen of the themes listed in this poll were the themes from past years, and the rest of the themes were suggestions made previous years that didn't make the cut, for a total of fifty-two possible themes. That's enough for an entire deck of cards, so I've increased the total number of themes you can vote for: Pick at least one and as many as fifteen of your favorites in the poll below, and the ten most popular will be this year's themes!

Want people to vote for a particular theme? Feel free to make your case in the comments!

Want to review the previous themes' mini-essays or get a sneak preview of what any new mini-essays might include? Check out the comments in this post!

Remember to think carefully and pick themes that you'd really like to see something from or create something for.

( Click for the poll! Plus, last year's dreaded bonus question makes a return )

Remember, if a theme you really liked doesn't make the cut for this year, you still have options! All past themes will be open again in Amnesty periods, and you can also borrow any of these for the Comment Prompts.

(As a side note, there are now more than enough themes to make a standard 5x5 Bingo Card, and even up to a 7x7, if that's something any of you would be interested in. Potentially fun for the fest itself, definitely fun for Amnesty 👀)

Thanks for voting!

This poll will close on May 15th.

Summer of the 69 Theme Compilation: 2023 through 2025, and suggestions for 2026

2026-05-02T02:43:27Z

Posted by: soc_puppet

Though there weren't as many new theme suggestions this year, there are still quite a lot of possibilities to choose from! Thus, as with last year, I've made a separate post to compile all the voting options in a single post, for easier viewing.

The comments in this post contain all of the mini-essays for the themes used and suggested for the 2023, 2024, and 2025 fests. After those comments are the themes that are currently suggestions only, from both last year and this year, with titles, taglines, and a brief overview of any hypothetical mini-essays for them. This information should help you make better informed choices about the possible themes for this year.

Once you're done reading, please go vote for your favorites! Remember to think especially about what themes you'd like to see things made for, or to create things for yourself.

2026 Theme Suggestions Now Open!

2026-04-03T01:21:52Z

Posted by: soc_puppet

Theme suggestions and discussion for 2024 is now open! Comment on this post to suggest new themes for this year, discuss themes from last year, or make a case for the inclusion of any themes in this year's fest, new and recycled alike!

If you want to review previous years' themes, you can check out the comments in this post.

There are a few things about the 2025 schedule that are set in stone:

As with last year, theme posts will be going up weekly starting on June 9th, with Closing Ceremonies on September 6th

This year's opening theme will be along the lines of "First Time 69"

The final two themes will be "Back End 69" (penultimate theme) and "Failed 69" (final theme, since the end of the fest is less than a week after the final theme goes up)

I plan to continue my trend from last year of only linking works in any Roundup posts, and not prior or current themes.

Other than that, pretty much anything goes! Are there any themes you really enjoyed from last year that you'd like to see again? Do you have any suggestions for themes you'd like included this year? Is there something you think might need more focus? Do you want any particular theme to line up with any specific date, so you can make something for both Sot69 and another event? If we get enough ideas, would anyone like to have two themes go live every week? Please share your thoughts in the comments!

This post will close to new comments on April 30th; on May 1st, a poll will go up for members to vote on this year's themes. The poll will close on May 15th, and themes will be finalized by May 18th to allow everyone time to plan for the 2025 fest.

Have fun!

Disclaimer: Before you go any further, it is important to know that this post is a joke! It is in no way an actual plan and should not be taken seriously (unless you like the idea so much that you want to do it yourself, which I encourage, because I have no actual temptation to do this one (unlike last time) and otherwise it will probably never happen).

2025 Amnesty Closed!

2026-04-01T00:31:17Z

Posted by: soc_puppet

That's it, everyone! The amnesty period for the 2025 Summer of the 69 fest is officially closed! I'll be formally turning comments off of 2025's comment prompt post in just a few minutes.

We didn't have any amnesty fills this year, but not to worry! If you saw a prompt that you really want to fill, or you want to create something for a theme for last year that doesn't get renewed for the 2026 fest, all 2025 themes and prompts will reopen for 2026's amnesty period.

Speaking of 2026, theme suggestions will open on April 2nd! Are there themes that you particularly liked or want to revisit from 2025? Do you have any ideas for potential new themes the community could cover? Are there any prior themes you didn't particularly care for or get inspired by? Give it some thought! The comment period to suggest themes begins the day after tomorrow.

Thank you so much for following along!

(PS: If you've got an amnesty fill that is so close to being finished, it just needs a little bit more... I'm willing to look the other way until theme suggestions open. There's a lot of flexibility inherent to a sixty-nine, after all 😉)

Amnesty 2025

2025-09-08T01:28:03Z

Posted by: soc_puppet

Amnesty for the 2025 fest is now officially open!

Was there a theme for this year (or for 2023 or 2024) that you liked but didn't find out about on time? Did you come up with a really good idea for a theme only after it ended? Just find out about a really great fic or piece of fanart that you'd love to rec for a specific theme? Aiming to be a fest completionist and come up with something for every theme but just didn't have the energy this time around? Now's your chance!

Anyone who finishes a work during the amnesty period is welcome to post it to the community; be sure to tag it with "amnesty", as well as either the relevant theme, or "comment prompts". They are also welcome in the parent AO3 collection.

All themes are now open for entries of any sort, and will remain open through March 31st. The comment prompts are also open for new fills, though the post itself is closed to new prompts.

Not!Fic: Tipping the Scales

2025-09-06T04:05:00Z

Posted by: soc_puppet

Fandom: SVSSS
Summary: Canon divergence. Some months after first meeting SQQ and SQH at Bailu Mountain, HHP gets another notice that the wards are being tested. With still no reports of dead or missing humans in the area, GYX goes to investigate the matter himself, hoping to protect the innocent demon he and the CQMS cultivation masters met there. What he finds is not what he expected...
Mirrors: Here at soc_puppet
Wordcount: ~1800
Rating: M or E; don't read this where spyware will report you to your boss!
Ships: Gongyi Xiao/Zhuzhi-Lang (not necessarily in topping order)
Notes: This is not a complete fic! I went back to college this summer, and homework has been eating up the time I would normally use to write. I did manage to get the outline more-or-less done, though, so I thought it might be a good offering for Failed 69, since I failed to properly finish the fic on time, heh. Also, really messy speculative anatomy for ZZL's lamia form can be found over here.
Not!Fic: ( Tipping the Scales )

Fighting or Fucking 69 and Monsterfucker 69 are now closed for duration of the event! It will open back up on September 7th when amnesty starts—which isn't that far away, now...

There were no entries submitted Fighting or Fucking 69 and Monsterfucker 69, but there's always the possibility of fulfillment during amnesty, as well as our current and final theme, Failed 69!

The previous theme, Back End 69, will remain open with Failed 69 until September 6th, when the fest ends for the year.

Theme for September 1st through September 6th: Failed 69

2025-09-02T01:24:52Z

Posted by: soc_puppet

Failed 69: You're both there, you're both trying, but one of you is doing way too good of a job, and the other can't cope, damnit

And at last we reach the final week of Summer of the 69. Except wait, it's not even a full week? How are we supposed to work with that?

By accounting for failure! Sometimes, things just don't work the way you want them to. This can happen just as easily in the bedroom as it can on the calendar. Maybe, as the flavor text above suggests, one of the participants is just too good at what they're doing, and anyone else gets overwhelmed and has to tap out before they finish. Maybe something non-sex-related comes up and there's coitus interruptus. Maybe something sillier and more slapstick happens, and someone bumps their funnybone or falls out of bed and the mood is broken. Maybe the position is just a brief interlude on the way to a different sex act, and it was never going to be a complete sixty-nine anyway. Maybe one or more of the participants has a disability that means a sixty-nine isn't feasible. Or maybe someone just really isn't feeling it right now, even if they're trying, and isn't it great that it's okay to stop in the middle of a sex act for any reason what-so-ever?

Or maybe you really, really meant to finish up something for one of our previous themes, but somehow failed to make it work. Did you run out of time? Inspiration? Were the characters just not cooperating? Did real life get in the way? Was there something just off that you couldn't put your finger on, but couldn't work with, either? Here's your chance to share it anyway!

There's all sorts of reasons why a specific sex act or creative work might not work out at any given time, and whether the people involved continue with a different sex act or not, or whether you go on to finish it later or not, it all counts for this theme.

Bonus: Any themes that did not make the final cut from the 2025 Theme Poll also qualify under the Failed 69 theme!

Theme for August 25th through September 6th: Back End 69

2025-08-26T01:25:39Z

Posted by: soc_puppet

Back End 69: Who says the front parts should get all the attention? It's time to get some assplay in 69-land!

That's right, now that we've reached the back end of this little fest, it's past time to get cheeky! Aiming for anal? How about utilizing plugs or dildos during the act? Want to keep it toy-free? There's always fingering. Feeling especially flexible? How about adding a rimjob to the mix? Or why not jazz it up with some scat?

Okay, maybe you're not so much into buttholes, whether it's what goes into them or what comes out. That's no reason you can't give the cheeks an extra squeeze or massage! Maybe even indulge in some pre-sixty-nine spanking (or even try it during, if you're feeling adventurous). And if you've got any catfolk or tabaxis available, I've heard a thing or two about stimulation at the base of the tail...

Just don't forget the most important suggestion of all: Have fun with it!

Theme for August 18th through September 1st: Fighting or Fucking 69 AND Monsterfucker 69

2025-08-19T01:34:49Z

Posted by: soc_puppet

You're in for a treat this round, everyone, because we're closing the final full weeks of this fest with double the themes! There's still the actual final themes of this fest coming up, but these are the last two that will last a whole two weeks, so enjoy!

Fighting or Fucking 69: It all started when Person A pinned Person B...

Here's a little something for all of you fans of enemies-to-lovers and rivals-to-lovers! Do we have a sparring match gone wrong? Wrestling get a little more spicy than anticipated? Finally manage to pin your greatest foe and accidentally end up sitting on their face (and as long as you're both there anyway...)?

Have we got magic or advanced and interesting technology at hand? How would you like to incapacitate your foe by blasting their clothing, and only their clothing, to a distant and unknown dimension? And once that's gone, who knows what will happen next! Which person will be more distracted, and why?

Accidental arousal is not new when blood is pumping and adrenaline is up, for whatever reason! Even if you're not going physically toe-to-toe, a battle of wits can still end with the participants taking the time to examine the contents of each others' clothing. Or is this an occasion when Truth or Dare or strip poker can come out to play?

A friend of mine from high school asserted that any game can be improved by making it either full contact or a strip version, but never both. This theme is the perfect excuse to prove her wrong!

Monsterfucker 69: Humans aren't the only ones who like going down

Tired of the usual arrangement of genitals? Want to go just a little (or a lot) hog wild, possibly even with an actual wild hog creature? Here's your chance! Let's explore what unexpected (and delightful) surprises one or more characters might have in their pants. There's the usual fun stuff, like knots and baculums, tentacles and oviposters; but there's no reason to stop there! What about multiples of the above, all at the same time? What about reproductive organs more inspired by bugs? Do suction cups play any part of the tentacles involved, and if so, how?

Then, of course, there's what falls under the definition of "monster". Vampires and werewolves are pretty well known and explored (and more is, naturally, always welcome), but the door's wide open for things like merfolk, zombies, minotaurs, and all sorts of aliens. Your character can summon a demon to get them off, or try the classic TTRPG trick of seducing the dragon. You can take a page out of Dr. Chuck Tingle's many books and invite a unicorn or bigfoot to the party—or even both! You can even go for something more original, and design everything from top to bottom (and all the fun places in between).

And for those who don't want to stray too far from the familiar, there's options for you, too! Have one of your characters dress up as a monster of some variety, and that'll still count. Try a little sexy cosplay, or get down discreetly at a costume party. Or maybe you're into the most villainous, black-hearted characters imaginable, misunderstood or understood perfectly; if someone might call them a monster, they're certainly an option, regardless of what shape they take!

However it may look to you, now's the perfect time to put the 'freak' in 'getting freaky'!

Theme for August 11th through 25th: Tropefest 69

2025-08-12T01:42:21Z

Posted by: soc_puppet

Tropefest 69: There was only one bed, they were roommates, and sex pollen? Yes please!

A lot of this fest's themes are explicitly built around tropes, but not even three months is enough to explore all of them in depth! This theme is an excuse to dip your creative process in any that haven't been featured in this year's fest—or maybe some you've missed the deadline for!

Got an AU you've been itching to try? Let's find out why your characters might be going for a sixty-nine if they're pirates or merfolk! Is a sixty-nine safer in a world where zombies roam, or simply more practical (reproductively speaking) in a post-apocalyptic wasteland? In a superhero setting, might this position more easily allow sex without the danger of revealing one's secret identity? Might they be nobility, and oral sex is a way to get around social risks? Or do you want to go more mundane, and situate a sixty-nine in an office, a high school, a coffee shop?

For more situational scenarios, when there's only one bed, one of the ways that's supposed to make it easier to keep your hands to yourself is sleeping head-to-feet with your companion(s); we all know how that would work out in this fest! Or compare and contrast (or even combine!) with similar happenstance, the Blanket Scenario, where characters have to cuddle, frequently naked, to conserve warmth. And might there be aphrodisiacs that make one especially hungry for oral sex? What about aliens who want to make the characters do it in this very specific position? Could a character going into heat or rut ever be mitigated by oral sex?

Can't think of a trope that tickles your fancy? Check out this list of tropes on Fanlore; it's non-exhuastive, but you might find something that piques your interest!

Theme for August 4th through 18th: Kinky 69

2025-08-05T02:04:01Z

Posted by: soc_puppet

Kinky 69: When the position is too vanilla on its own, it's time to mix in other kinks

Now, just what kinks can we mix in with this? You can tie a participant in place, or blindfold them. You can add a spice of pain to the mix, or literal spice if you want to mix in food. Even if you don't want to keep someone in one place, shibari can be beautiful; is there a way to tie someone up that will make this position more ...interesting?

Cucking is on the table here. Or possibly sixty-nine-ing literally on the table! Dominance and submission will always be options. You can get into watersports if this year's timing is bad for Soaking Wet 69, and bringing in sex toys has excellent potential. Wax and temperature play can really heat things up. And don't get me started on praise kink!

Want to go a little bit more extreme? How would you manage cock and ball torture in a 69? Vore? Knifeplay? Scat? Bestiality? Snuff? This fest is very strongly YKINMKATO, so just about anything you can think of is an option!

No worries if you want to stick to something closer to vanilla, though! All flavors are welcome for this theme.

Not sure what kinks you might want to include or are even interested in? Check out the tags at kink_wiki. (Not an affiliated community, it's just a useful resource in this case.)

Theme for July 28th through August 11th: Alternate Sexy Parts 69

2025-07-29T01:10:52Z

Posted by: soc_puppet

Alternate Sexy Parts 69: From trans and genderswap to Omegaverse and Xenokink, and beyond!

There's a lot of room for interpretation with this prompt! Trans or intersex interpretations of characters are definitely in, as are genderswaps, be they AU or via canonical shenanigans of some variety. Body swap might also be on the table, with the characters given the option to show their counterparts firsthand exactly what they like when it comes to oral sex. Prosthetics are another option, with characters switching out their usual toys (dildos, strap-ons, sheathes, etc) for something a little more exciting.

We move on from there to doing more unconventional things with genital structure. Omegaverse is an easy option, with exploring what's going on down there in explicit detail; will there be any knotting in this 69? Or maybe you'll take it in a xenokink direction and introduce us to some more alien or monstrous junk; we don't know for certain what a were-eagle has in their pants, after all. And really, how exactly do you 69 with a tentacle monster? In a more mechanical direction, what sort of upgrades might a robot or cyborg have gotten to their literal sexy parts? Can they swap them out, or add actual bells and whistles? And to what extent is their mechanic prepared to help them out or get involved?

The world is your oyster with this theme—possibly even literally!

Theme for July 21st through August 4th: 69 Accommodations

2025-07-22T01:52:27Z

Posted by: soc_puppet

69 Accommodations: Working with disabilities, sensory issues, and sexual disorders

I've been looking forward to this essay! Conveniently, this year the theme also lands (mostly) in Disability Pride month; if it makes it to the top ten in future years, I may cheat the system a little bit to make sure it falls entirely in July. But that's not particularly important; on to the essay!

Sex can already be a complicated affair for all bodies involved, what with the stretching and weird positions and repeated motions and so forth. How can we accommodate for that, especially during a sixty-nine?

If one of your characters has prosthetic limbs, they may be able to jury-rig a way to lean on them during sexy times. Or maybe one of your characters has chronic fatigue or pain; being the "bottom" partner in a horizontal sixty-nine might give them a good chance to both feel and reciprocate without over-exerting themself. Sex ed website Scarleteen is here with the info on sex with spasticity, for any characters with cerebral palsy or other conditions that cause similar spasms.

Mental illness also doesn't necessarily play well with sex. Does either of your characters have an anxiety disorder that starts acting up with new experiences? How will their partner(s) help them through a sixty-nine? Do one or more of them have sexual-related PTSD? If so, is a sixty-nine possibly one way they can have sex that isn't triggering, or is it something they really want to do to overcome a trigger? Then there's anhedonia, the inability to enjoy things; it pops up frequently with major depressive disorder, but it can also hitch a ride on other mental illnesses. How can your characters work with that?

On a related note, how about sensory issues and sex? This essay here talks about the similarity between kinks and stimming. Or maybe one of your characters finds vibrations to be overstimulating or painful, but hands still aren't doing it for them; maybe it's time to get a little tongue action in play!

Since this fest is focused on oral sex, let's also talk a bit about oral-related disabilities and differences. Maybe one of your characters has a facial difference, such as cleft lip and palate (and, if so, please tell me which canon it is!); maybe one of your characters has a severe tongue tie that makes it difficult for them to stick out their tongue. Maybe they've pulled a jaw muscle and can't open their mouth all the way; how do they navigate a sixty-nine that way?

While we're at it, let's address some general sexual problems and disorders. There's times when sex can be medically prescribed; vaginismus comes to mind, and the not-inherently-penetrative nature of mutual oral might be just what the doctor ordered! Maybe Peyronies disease runs in the family for one of your characters, and they've run out of lube; oral sex might be the smartest option in that case! Or maybe your character has a vulva and can't orgasm without a vibrator, but really, really wants oral sex to work; you could absolutely consider a vibrating tongue ring to be a disability aid!

And is one of your characters non-human? Maybe they have a condition that's a disability for their species, but works out pretty well or is a complete non-issue for getting it on with humans. Or maybe it doesn't work out easily for any known species, but their human or non-human partner(s) are game to try! Or perhaps you can go the other way around, where someone non-human is perfectly equipped to please a disabled human, or is just the person who's willing to put in the work.

There's as many potential accommodations to be made as there is variation in the human (or non-human) body, and tons of fun to be had exploring them. Let's find out what we can learn!
