Professor Oak, what are the RULES?
1. Anyone can prompt. You don’t need an LJ account, or any account whatsoever to prompt. You are also not obligated to write for our fest to prompt!
2. Given that this is a SuChen fic fest, you may only focus on Suho/Chen relationships. Brothers, Best Friends, Lovers, and/or Husbands? ALL FINE! Side pairings are also accepted, just as long as the fic doesn’t revolve around their relationship.
3. We accept prompts that feature OT12.
4. Triggering prompts are accepted EXCEPT FOR non-con, dub-con, and underage (17 and below!) sex.
5. Give prompts that are not too limiting. Below are examples of a good and a bad prompt:

GOOD PROMPT: Fresh from resigning from a corporate post, Joonmyun decides to pursue his passion for fashion as a career. Jongdae thinks it’s probably a bad idea. (You provided a general idea of how the plot should be fleshed out.)
BAD PROMPT: Joonmyun quits his corporate job because he can’t stand his father anymore. He decides to go take on a job in a fashion magazine where he meets Jongdae who has been in the company for two years already. Kris, the big boss, pairs them up for a big project and the two have no choice but to get along with each other. Jongdae tries to sabotage Joonmyun’s work but ends up being drawn to Joonmyun, instead. (This is too limiting; you've already dictated the flow of the story.)
BAD PROMPT #2: Joonmyun quits his job and meets Jongdae somewhere along the way. (Too vague.)

6. You can submit however many prompts as you’d like. The more the merrier!
7. Please submit only one prompt per form. If you’d like to submit another prompt, fill up a new form.
8. Prompts that do not follow the rules will not be published!
9. Please do not repost your prompts in different fests until the event is over.
10. If you have any more questions, please do not hesitate to leave a comment on this post!
