Prompting Guidelines

This is not a fic exchange, which means anyone can send their prompts just make sure that it is related to Christmas or Winter Season. You can send as many prompts as they want. For everybody's convenience in thinking of a prompt to send we will make a list of words that’s related to our theme. Hopefully these words will be of help to you.

Side pairing is not a problem but if possible we only allow one side pairing (two if it’s really necessary) so that the fic will be centered to Sehun/Luhan’s story only.

Since it is Christmas-themed fest we refrain you from sending prompts containing rape/non-con, and extreme descriptions of gore. Let’s try to make this a joyous occasion!

🎄If your prompt contains any triggering or sensitive topics
please label it properly!

🎄Trigger warning/Sensitive topics include:
character death, gore, suicide, humiliation, war, depression, abortion, abuse (verbal or physical), mental illness, self-harm, rape, or other possible sensitive material.

🎄Please avoid sending vague prompts
It can cause confusion to the writers. Be descriptive, but not too specific! Give enough details so that the writer will add their own take to the prompt and make it come alive.

🎄Prompt submission will be through Google forms
Mods will screen all prompts before we include them in our prompt archives.

🎄NONCON, RAPE, PEDOPHILIA, ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIPS AND INCEST ARE NOT ALLOWED
Any prompt that contains these themes will not be added to the masterlist.
