concerned jongdae watching over yixing

[fyxingdae]

thank you for replying! and to be honest i'm already done with mine, it jsut needs few improvements. i hope it's okay if i send you right email in the case i really did misspell it?

Not sure if I understand your question, but you can submit your fic whenever you are sure you’re completely done with it through our email! [email protected]

[fyxingdae]

sorry but have you sent any info emails yet? it's just that im have this feeling that i might have misspelled my email and don't want to miss anything

Not yet! Today is the last day to claim, so you’ll probably see one sometime tomorrow morning around noon EST. I’ll be updating on twitter @xingdaefest to let everyone know when emails have been sent out. 

(However, if you know what your prompt is, you can get started on your fic whenever inspiration strikes!)

Hi, i submitted a request to claim a prompt, but no one replied to me yet. Are you confirming it when claiming ends or?

Yes! I’ve been a little backed up, but I just confirmed it. You’ll also be getting a confirmation email after claiming is over.

Hello i'm a huge laychen shipper and i want to send my prompt but idk where or how, can i send it to you here in ask?,.,

Although prompting ended last week, we can still take your prompt through an ask! There’s a lower chance it will be accepted since many people have already claimed the prompts they wanted, but I will still add yours in! :)

[fyxingdae]

To this anon who sent me a prompt through an ask - because it was a little lengthy, I hope you don’t mind splitting it into two (one being the prompt, and some of the details as brownie points). If you can, please send me a message off-anon so I can confirm some other aspects of your prompt!

Hi there, I'm the silly anon on livejournal who's submitted the initial claiming post without a username and then submitted a second claim WITH the username but now with a different first choice! I'm sorry for the trouble and I hope it's somewhat understandable :/ I saw that the comments are screened, will I be able to see if I got my first choice?

That’s no problem! You got your first choice from your revised comment.

Are you Xingdae shippers itching to write but just waiting for a fun prompt to hit you? Fret not, for the waiting is over. With the success of our last fic fest and multiple requests, we’ve decided to start a new fest in celebration of EXO’s 4th anniversary coming up in 2016! The minimum word count is 500 words and we accept art as a form of submission. Today begins our prompting season. You do not need a livejournal account to submit prompts as you may do so anonymously, but be sure to follow the rules in the link below! rules and prompting info

any tips for writers planning on writing for the fest but aren't really confident about their writing?? ? :-///:3 <3 because iM not that confident in my own writing but I'd like to give it a shot... or,,, //sobs im sorry

No need to apologize! Even the “best” writers aren’t very confident about their writing, but I personally think everyone has their own style and can improve just by reading other people’s work and getting inspiration. Most fic writers I’ve seen have usually read a lot of books and were able to follow styles that they liked and made it their own. 

The great thing about a prompt fest is that you’re already given a basic story line and the main characters involved, so it just needs to be fleshed out. It’s also good to get someone to beta your fic so you can get feedback. 

And of course practice makes perfect!

I don’t write very often, so I can’t give you the best advice, but does anyone have any other tips that they’d like to share?

Hi, i was unable to prompt on xingdae ficfest anonymously? it says "Anonymous comments are disabled in this journal"

Many apologies!! Thought I changed the settings for that, but you can now prompt anonymously.

Since when do people ship Lay and Chen? I thought it was always LayxSuho but I kinda get the feeling that Suho's cockblocking everyone.

People shipped Lay/Chen in the past more than they have recently (since Lay has been responsible for promoting EXO in China and isn’t together with the group as often). If you look through the blog a little bit you can see a lot of their really close moments. 

They’re both part of EXO-M, vocalists, and have very similar playful personalities but they can also be extremely sincere so they understand each other well. They tend to pick each other often for who they’re most close with in EXO (if Baekhyun is already picked by someone else since Chen is usually all over him) Their birthdays are also only two weeks apart!! 

but tru suho always gets in the way of all the fun
