[Youngjae voice] Hello everyone!

I am here to present a project to celebrate the 22nd birthday of the main vocalist of our generation [winks excessively], Choi Youngjae! I think it’s safe to call myself a GOT7 fic writer by now, and with that I decided what better way to bring the GOT7 fandom, specifically lovers of Youngjae heh, together by creating a Youngjae Fic Fest.

Of course, you don’t have to exclusively be a fan of just GOT7. If you love Youngjae and are interested in writing, then go ahead! The more the merrier. ^^

One thing to note: I am organizing two fests! One on tumblr which would be the Youngjae x reader insert fics, and the other on Ao3 (archiveofourown) where all the Youngjae x GOT7 members will be posted. 

Same rules apply to both to avoid any confusion! Some writers only write one or the other, and I wanted everyone to have a chance to join in!

 So without further ado, here are some general rules to follow:

READER INSERT FICS: A. Minimum word count: 500. There will be no maximum word count because I, myself, like to write really long fics, so go ham if you want to! If you work does exceed 500 words, it must be put under “Read More” to avoid really long scrolling on the dashboard. B. It can be any genre you’d like for as long as you include some type of warning if it’s going to be NSFW or just any potential triggers that may harm anyone reading your fic/s. C. The posting date is on September 17, 2017. Now I know a lot of us are going to be in different time zones, and there is no guarantee that everyone can post their work on a fixed time, so you can publish your fic on tumblr in different ways i.e:

1) The week leading up to Youngjae’s birthday, September 17. Some writers might want to create more than one fic, so they can try posting one fic per day until his actual birthday comes up! 

1.1) If you’re only making one, and you’re not sure that you will be able to post it on his birthday exactly, you can post it on any days of the week prior to his birthday. (Specifically, that’ll be within September 11-17).

2) You can try to match his time zone (in South Korea)! For example, I have PST, so when it’s 12 AM in South Korea, I will post my fic at 8 AM. Of course, this may sound extra heheheh, but it also seems really cute and special!

3) Or you know, you can just post it whenever it’s September 17 in your time zone. As long as all the fics have been posted by September 18 (some difficulties might arise, so I’m making this an exception. And this will be measured in PST), we’re all good!

D. I think it’s a given that it should be Youngjae x Reader. Buuuut, just to be sure. :^) 

E. Last but not the least, please tag your fic with ‘cyjficfest2017′ in the first five tags in order for me to see them and reblog them! We want every entry shown and given the much deserved appreciation it needs! :)

YOUNGJAE x GOT7 MEMBER FICS: Rules A and B apply here as well, but the posting date is an exception.

You need to have an AO3 account in order to post your work on there. If you have finished your work earlier than the due date, that’s okay! When publishing your work, go to ‘Collection’ and type out ‘CYJFicFest2017′ and the collection name will pop up. Once you click that, and you post your work, you will see that it hasn’t actually been posted yet because it has been sent to the collection, and I will be revealing all the fics submitted on the same date, that is 17 September 2017 at 8 AM PST. 

Here is the link to the collection. Same rules will be posted on there so you can always return to the page if you need any clarifications instead of going back to this tumblr post. 

PROMPTS:  I have compiled a list of prompts from several people and I want to thank them for their great contribution! Without their help, this fic fest wouldn’t have surfaced at all, so just a quick shout out to: Ana, Aubry, Fawn, Maram, Aliza, Kai, and Ash for giving me their much needed inputs! ^^,

There are 22 main prompts. The reason being for the specific number is because that will be Youngjae’s age in Korea on his birthday this year! Having said that, I have received more than 22 prompts and I couldn’t possibly let some of them go. Eventually, I decided to make subcategories that fit the main ones that could help you, as a writer, polish the plot of your story even more!

Notes: 

1.) You can use more than one prompt in one fic  2.) Your fic does not have to have a “birthday theme.” Ideally, that’d be great but we don’t want that much of a similarity with the fics submitted, so go crazy with your imagination! 3.) You don’t have to include all of the subcategories in your fic. For example, you had a totally different vision in mind when you think about “Han River,” so feel free to take your fic wherever you want it to go. 4.) If you feel as if any of the prompts do not work for you, send me a message and we can figure something out! :) 5.) These prompts will be used for the reader insert fics and the x member fics!
