ROUND ONE: INFO AND RULES
SHINEE PROMPT FEST: ROUND ONE
The shinee prompt fest for fanfiction, fanart, fanvids, and any other fan made media that you can think of. This is a pairing, genre, kink, etc friendly fest. This means that anything is welcome so long as everyone is of legal age. Underage is allowed, as long as you keep in mind that the legal age of consent is 16.
What this it?
Basically, this is a fest where you're allowed to submit prompts for the fanworks that will be created.
The prompts can be in anything, quote/video/song/etc, so long as they follow the format below. You can submit as many prompts as you like, but each prompt should be submitted in a separate comment.
Unlike other fests, if you submit a prompt you don't have to create something in return. Although, you are more than welcome to do so. This means that non writers/artists are welcome to post prompts and can participate in the fest.
Once all the prompts are posted up, writers/artists are welcome to claim the prompt they'd like to work with. There will be a separate claiming post, as well as a brief viewing period in which you will be able to see all the prompts.
Claiming by proxy is allowed.
Note: While this is not an exchange, it will still be anonymous. This means that you can't tell anyone what prompt you're writing for, nor can you tell them which of the prompts you gave. There will be a reveal at the end of the fest. The reveals will depend on the number of fics, and the inevitable delays, but the reveal should go up about a week after the last work is posted.

Anything else (optional):
Note: If there is a section that doesn't fit with your prompt, or if you have no preference then please jsut put "n/a" in the appropriate area. Also, even though it asks for pairing(s)/character(s), threesomes and moresomes are permitted. Gen fic is also welcome.
Please make sure that you've put down all the things you don't want, or things you do want. The person who chooses your prompt is not going to be able to talk to you, so please get down as much as possible.
Also, since this is an anon fest, comments in the prompting post will be screened, and you may not reveal what prompt is yours until the fest is over. Because we're new, crossovers are allowed, so long as one of the people in the pairing is a shinee member.
You can submit as many prompts as you want.
