GUIDELINES
Hello darling shippers, we are back with sign up guidelines and a sign up form! Areeee youuuu ready?
Click on the cut below for sign-up guidelines and info!

(Please also attend to the rules and faq posts for additional information.)

• The minimum word count for the first check-in is 1,000 words, and the minimum word count for the final check-in is 2,500 words. (″･ิ_･ิ)っ

• Please consider joining this exchange carefully. Assignments are sent May 17th and final check-ins handed in by July 19th. You may have a vacation trip, a power outage, guests suddenly coming over and all these would probably cut down on your writing time. So please think carefully before signing up. We appreciate dedication, commitment and not dropping out. As wufantastic said, you're writing for someone else, and someone else is writing for you. (▰˘◡˘▰)

• If any participants agree to sign up to pinch hit, this means they agree to pinch hit at any given moment; someone may drop out earlier on in the exchange, someone may drop out a week before the final check-in deadline. We hope you pinch-hitters are up to this, and are really grateful to your cooperation! (づ｡◕‿‿◕｡)づ

(We will try our best to assign you all prompts that are best fitted to the writing section in your sign-up form.) ヽ(゜∇゜)ノ

• The cute thing about exchanges is that they're all for fun, creativity, testing a writer under circumstances and therefore expanding their capability -- and secrecy, until reveals day. Please remain anonymous! It'll be fun! ᕦ(⌒_⌒)ᕤ

• Beta-readers are awesome and encouraged! It always helps to have someone look over your stuff and give feedback. Please keep in mind, however, that if you get a beta, they must be someone who are not participating in this exchange. └（・ｏ・）┐They might be your recipient, who knows!

• Also, if you need an extension, please email the mods (perfectedart.y@gmail.com) a reason -- if you wish-- and how many days you estimate you'll need for handing in your draft. We will try to respond as soon as possible! 〜(￣▽￣〜) (Mentioning us on twitter along with emailing would be great.)

• Please make sure you give nice, spacey prompts that outline what you want, but don't run into too many details and cramp the writer with no space for creativity. You can give a minimum of one prompt (durr) and a maximum of four! (We wish to widen the chances for you wanting/being able to write a prompt, so we have decided to up the usual count of three, to four. We hope this is alright with you all! ('◇')

Here are some examples of prompts!

1. A not-so-good prompt: Baekhyun is a new make-up artist who works for model!Kai. Please also put Sehun somewhere. (this is very vague!)
2. A good prompt: Baekhyun is a new make-up artist who has just opened his salon. Somewhat jaded model!Kai decides to drop in at a friend's request, and the two strike up a friendship. Please write Sehun as Kai's best friend! (this gives the writer a little bit of background, and some material to work on!)
3. Another not-so-good prompt: Baekhyun is a new make-up artist who has just opened up the B-Salon. Within his second month of work, he lands a very famous client, model Kim Kai. (Kim Kai is driven to B-Salon by his best friend and chaffeur Oh Sehun.) Baekhyun does not take kindly to Kai's seemingly arrogant attitude, but after a few regular appointments they take to each other. After a few months of Baekhyun working for Kai, they end up meeting outside of work, and begin to like each other for more than friends. Meanwhile Oh Sehun has an existential crisis because he is desperately crushing on Huang ZiTao, his gym instructor. (this is a lot of detail! the writer cannot surprise you properly this way, and may also feel weighed down with no room for creativity, since you have so much plotted already.)

• Most of all, have lots of fun! LET'S DO THIS, PEOPLE (☞ﾟ∀ﾟ)☞
