The Gradua’Xion, Round 2

To celebrate the Class of 2021 (who have still had many senior year traditions ripped from them due to the pandemic), we are pleased to present Round 2 of our EXO fic fest, The Gradua’Xion!

What counts as a "graduation" theme? 🎓 Anything that focuses primarily on the ending of high school or college 🎓 Prom, final school performances (plays, recitals, etc.), and other end-of-year rites of passage are also welcome! 🎓 Fic time frame can certainly start earlier in the year/years prior, or can include the months or years after graduation, but the final months of high school/college should be a key component of the fic. 🎓 Can include the pandemic (set in this year) or can be set in aus/prior or future eras.

The Prompt Archive is now available for viewing! Self-prompts are also welcome. Writer sign-ups begin tomorrow.

Timeline: March 29 - Prompt Claiming/Self-prompting begins April 30 - Claiming ends May 28 - Submissions due June 1 - Posting begins

Rules: 1. Main character(s) must be an EXO member (all OT12 pairings or member-centric fics welcome). 2. No self-inserts/OC pairings, please. This is an EXO-centric fic collection. 3. Minimum word count is 1,000 words. 4. Zero tolerance for plagiarism. 5. Non-con, pedophilia, incest, bestiality, etc. not permitted. 6. You may only claim one prompt from the archive at a time. Please complete the prompt before requesting a second. 7. There are no official check-ins since we have a relatively short turnaround time to make it for early summer graduations. We will organize optional writing sprints for anyone who wants to participate!
