so! submitting fics for a community!
I'm going to apply to aific this week, for which I need to submit three fics. I've narrowed down the list, but still would love a little help from those of you familiar with Idol fandom.
I've decided on two of the three:
I want a Rymon one-shot to round out this list because let's face it, I mostly write Rymon. KYEC is PG-13, so I'm wondering if the Rymon one-shot should be NC-17 as an enticement, or if NC-17 Rymon will gross out the fangirls and get me blackballed. Here are the one-shots that are long enough to be real stories and stand on their own.

Any help you can give would be invaluable; I'm really at sea here and can see pros and cons for many of the stories. Thanks!

- Keep Your Enemies Closer, because it's Kradam and I'm not an idiot
