No One Dies This Time: THE REVEALS 2016
Welcome Kaisoo happy ending enthusiasts ♥(ˆ⌣ˆԅ)
Can you guys believe it? It's here already-The Reveals!
After 6 months of promotions, prompting, claiming, writing, posting and guessing, we have finally reached the end of Kaisoo AU Fest's first ever round. From the amazing ideas of our prompters, to the talented works of our writers, to the help and cheers of our betas and buddies, to the enthusiastic and encouraging support from our readers, this first round has been nothing but amazing from start to finish!
No One Dies This Time: a Kaisoo AU fic fest with happy endings is all about the journey. Having a set ending may be hard to write, boxed by the theme to provide the readers the happy ending they are expecting. How does one make a story captivating and compelling if your readers already know how it will end? It was definitely a challenge.
This is why we are proud of our 115 participants for bringing us 130 amazing Kaisoo happy ending fics across 10 different categories-family/domestic/kid!au(20), post-apoc/dystopian!au(10), shows/movies!au(11), workplace!au(15), sci-fi!au(5), relationship!au(25), socialnetwork!au(8), songs!au(11), school!au(13) and fantasy!au(13).
With a total of 1,378,750 words, our writers were able to show that it is possible to have Kaisoo fall in love in different settings, scenarios and circumstances, with varied personalities and quirks and yet, still retaining the true essence of who they are, that in all of these AUs, no matter what age or relationship or hardship, Kaisoo will always find each other and fall in love. They showed us that it is indeed the journey that matters!
Before we get to the fun part, let us bore you with some notes of thanks from the MODS!
Email mod: Hi there! If you've sent an email to us, chances are, you've already talked to me! Unlike Twitter mod, I'm a hermit and is slow with my replies. I also often type up essay length messages to your simple questions. Sorry :( But enough about me. Let's talk about how awesome the writers are. These 130 fics started as a prompt, an idea from our followers. Through questions and check-ins and consultations, I witnessed these ideas take form and shape. I talked to writers who were busy with school, papers, exams and work. Each writer here are individuals, each with a life of their own. But despite their own real life responsibilities, they gave their all to write for the fest, for the readers. That's why when I read their finished fics, I can't help but feel proud because I know what they went through to deliver these happy endings for us to enjoy. Looking back, I experienced a lot of stress and nights of migraine organizing writers lists, coordinating deadlines and sending messages to those missing, but all those hardships are nothing compared to the joy of seeing and reading the comments from the readers, knowing that these writers' efforts did not go to waste.
This has been an amazing experience because of the awesome community. When I pestered twitter mod to start a Kaisoo fest last December, we were aiming for 20 fics. Now here we are, 130 fics of Kaisoo happy endings! Tiring? Yes. But worth it? YES YES!
To my fellow mods, LET'S GO FOR ANOTHER ROUND!
Twitter mod: Here I would like to congratulate all our writers for succeeding in their kaisoo happy endings!!! 🎉🎉🎉 I know it's not as easy as it sounds, writing a fic for an ending that needs to be happy so I'm so very very proud of all of you I wish you all know that 💙💙💙 And to all our prompters, commenters and silent readers, ya'll are amazing too and this fest wouldn't have succeeded without you either. To my other two mods, we started this fest this February of 2016 with the hopes that at least 10 writers would join and look!! We have 115 amazing writers with 130 equally as amazing fics. I wish I could tell our February 2016 selves to stop planning at ass o'clock in the morning so we're not a bundle of nerves. And to end this sappy note from your Twitter mod, I hope this is not the end! Continue reading, continue commenting, continue spreading kaisoo happy endings and, maybe, continue joining our kaisoo au fest in the next round? 😉😉😉
Fanartist mod: To everyone who has been a part of this fest, I would like to give you a big hug and a pat on the head. Thank you for being awesome.
To the prompters who have been generous with their endless pit of ideas and creative imaginations, thank you. Thank you for sending those wonderful prompts. Without you, a big part of this fest won't be the same as it is now.
To the writers who should be blessed with eternal happiness because of their patience, creativity with words, imaginative minds, and God sent talents, thank you. Thank you for working till the very end to give Kaisoo the happy ending they deserved, thank you for supplying the Kaisoo fans the happiness they thirst for because let's be honest, we love the bubbly feeling after reading a fluffy fic during a hard, stressful day. Thank you, for all the hard work and dedication.
To the betas with hearts overflowing with kindness and patience, thank you. Thank you for being there to give a helping hand out. Thank you for all your hard work. Thank you for being a kind person. May you be showered in fairy dusts.
To the readers who I'm pretty sure has now been lost under piles and piles of Kaisoo happy endings, I pray for your sanity and may the gods be with you. Amen.
To the kind commenters, thank you for expressing and appreciating the Kaisoo happy endings. Even a short, simple yet loving comment can make the writers smile. From a simple thank you for writing this to HOLY SHIT YOUR FIC ROCKS are very well appreciated and welcomed. We love you.
To my other mods, thank you for not biting each others head off whenever we go through tough times. We might not have worked hard equally as the other but my love remains on myself. Because I love myself.
When we first started, I remember us agreeing to write three fics each if no one joined. Yes, we were at least hoping for ten participants at least. But hey, look at this fest now, we have 130 happy endings supplied by 115 angels. Bless their kind souls.
To Email mod. Thank you for not giving up on this idea. Thank you for the dedication. Thank you for all the hard work. Thank you for all the kind and encouraging words. Thank you for being understanding. Thank you for being such a fun person. Thank you for making me laugh. Thank you for being precious. Thank you for everything. Thank you. I love you and hopefully we'll be able to meet each other soon.
To Twitter mod, Hi! Thank you for not slicing our heads off. Thank you for not punching me on the face whenever we talk seriously and I always try to piss you off. Thank you for not giving up. Thank you for all the hard work and thank you for being Twitter mod. I love you and hopefully you get me something for my birthday. Something really nice please.
And lastly, thank you Kim Jongin and Do Kyungsoo for being Kaisoo. Thank you for being such flirts and thank you for inspiring the Kaisoo community to ship and write you the happy endings you deserve.
Brought to you by the mod who almost did nothing, fanartist mod!
