[MOD POST] [CONTEST] JongMinho @ 100!
Our lovely jongminho LJ community has finally reached 100 (102 actually) members! *dances* JongMinho has always had a special place in my heart and seeing as it isn't one of the most celebrated couples in the fandom (despite all the touchy-feely momments, yes), it was an amazing feat for us to reach a hundred (and two) members. (^^)v
Anyway, to celebrate this momentous occasion, I've decided to hold a fan fiction contest (other categories may be added next time :D). There will be three prompts so you won't have a hard time thinking on how to handle it. So, are we ready to spread the JongMinho love? If you are, then click the cut below to see the mechanics.
Rules:
(1) There will be three prompts. You are free to use any of the three in any way you want. If you want to incorporate all three prompts to your piece, then by all means, feel free to do so.
Prompts:
→ Remember the infamous video that started this comm? Yes, that's the one where Jonghyun sings Nothing Better on one of their radio show guestings (080613). Watch the entire video and you will see Minho watching the entire time Jonghyun sings. And please take note of the smile on Minho's lips at the end of the video. :D
→ Picture prompt: Calling 911
→ Out of my League by Stephen Speaks. [Lyrics | MP3]
Sappy, I know but it's one of those songs where I can see JongMinho. :D
(2) There is no word count limit. If you want to make it a very long one-shot fic, go ahead. A short chaptered fic, sure; but please post the entire fic after you've finished it so as not to make it hard for our readers. Just as long as you finish it before the allotted time.
(3) Each participant is allowed two entries each.
(4) Please label your pieces properly. Put [CONTEST] in your subject title, plus the title of your piece. Remember to tag your entries with !contest and *jongminho@100 so we will be able to identify the entries.
(5) The contest will run from November 17 to December 17. That's a whole month so time to get cracking! :D
(6) The prizes will be spiffy banners from my wonderful sister, skyfever (who, by the way, made our banner as well). I am an unemployed girl and well, we'll work on better prizes as we gain more members, ne? :D
Judging and Voting:
(1) Entries will be judged by overall technique and aesthetic quality. This means, you have to take note of the entry's grammar, structure and style. Please also take to consideration the themes provided; how it was used and if it was used in the piece.
(2) Please leave your personal preferences behind while voting.
(3) Voting is open to all members. Yes, that includes the participants. If the writers want to vote for their own work, they are free to do so. There is nothing wrong with believing in your own work. :D
(4) I will be posting an entry at the end of the contest where all the voting will be done. When voting, please include why you think that piece deserves to win. All comments will be screened so don't worry, ok?
Any comments, suggestions and questions are welcome. :D
Once again, congratulations to us and thank you for spreading the JongMinho love~ ♥
