SUHOLIDAY 2015: It's the most wonderful time of the year... again!
❝ important dates | sign up form | pinch-hit only form ❞
A new year, another round. Another reason to celebrate and shower people with love for our dear leader, Suho! \(^ o ^)/
❝ What is SUHOLIDAY? ❞
suholiday is a fanfic exchange that aims to generate more Suho!fic. It also aims to make every day a happy day - a holiday - with Suho. A Suho a day keeps the stress away!
How does an exchange work? We pair up two people based on pairings that they can write and pairings that they'd want to see written. Keep in mind that you only need to have one pairing in common to be paired up, so be extra careful when listing the pairings you'd want to see written and the pairings you can write.
Since it is an exchange, we're discouraging people from dropping out. The stakes are higher when you bail out of an exchange since you're writing for someone, not just for the sake of writing a fic. Keep in mind that there's a sad and lonely person who will be moping at the lack of fic for him/her come reveals. Here, have a Suho Face.
❝ Any RULES that I should keep in mind? ❞
1. Given that this is a Suho-centric exchange, you may only write about Suho-pairings, Suho/Joonmyun (fyeahdopplegangers), or Suho-centric (gen) fics. Crossovers are fine. OT3s/threesomes ++ are fine. Also, to clarify, third person narration is okay.
2. The minimum word count is 1,500 words. No, you can't write 1,499 words. DON'T. EVEN. TRY.
3. Do not sign up if you feel that you might have to drop out somewhere along the way. Please understand that this is an exchange and, as we've said above, someone will suffer the consequences of you dropping out.
4. Do not discuss your idea for your assignment in public (Twitter, Facebook, LJ, memes - YES, WE WILL HUNT YOU DOWN). We'd like to keep the anonymity until the reveals, thank you very much.
5. Choose prompts that are not too limiting. Below are examples of a good and a bad prompt:
GOOD PROMPT: AU where Suho is a painter and (Member, ideally Kai but any pair listed up there is okay) is looking for a part-time job, so he signs up to be a model for Suho. (You've hinted at a pairing you want to read and a general idea of how the plot should be fleshed out.)
BAD PROMPT: Suho/Kai where Suho is an abstract painter and Kai is a starving student who's looking for a part-time job. Kai signs up to be a model for Suho and falls in love with him at once. But then Kai discovers that Suho is actually sucking his soul by painting him and eventually decides to kill Suho. (This is too limiting; you've already dictated the flow of the story.)
BAD PROMPT #2: Suho/Kai where Kai milks money off of Suho. (Uh. Okay. Too vague.)
