@Zenoxio Oh geeez! Whoops, sorry. It was actually the 21st and 22nd. Thanks for the catch!!

[Genericon XXXIII @GenericonRPI]

Hi con-goers! In response to questions about when different submissions will open up, we wanted to let you know that we're hoping to do so in late November - when we get the official date for the convention.

Please stay tuned for more details 🕷!!

Sooooo... it looks like previous information output might have been slightly inaccurate! We at Generic9n sincerely apologize for this mishap 😔.

We bring you next year's true theme: Terry Crews Spice Commercials 🤗!

[Genericon XXXIII @GenericonRPI]

Hello, ya wandering wankers.

If you weren't made aware, next year's theme is, in fact, a callback to our more cynical days: Noir. That's right, bust out your B&W coloring and transportable winds - there's crime afoot!
