No Happy Ending is a Livejournal-based EXO fanfiction and fanart festival with angsty, tragic and dark theme.

 

The stories, fanart and graphic edits may revolve around broken relationships, character death, tragedy, violence, psychological themes, or anything that'll shatter our hearts and turn us into an emotional wreck.

The most important rule: It shouldn't have a happy ending.

What is a Fic Fest?

In a fest, the mods solicit prompts, collate them, and provide the list to participants. Each prompt may be claimed only a limited number of times (usually once or twice, or once each for fanart and fanfic). Participants may be assigned scattered due dates, resulting in weeks or months of daily fic, or all fic may be due on one day.

Basically, someone submits prompts, then writers or artists will create stories or graphics based on them.

 

 

General Rules

 

This fanfiction and fanart fest is for any EXO (OT12) members. You can include non-EXO characters as long as the main leads are EXO members.

                     

Aside from pairs or ships, member-centric and ot# are allowed.

 

We accept all genres and ratings (G to NC-17). You can submit prompts and create stories and art with disturbing and triggering themes, but they will be properly tagged with warnings. The theme of this fest is supposed to be tragic and dark so we hope everybody is open minded.

 

You can submit prompts even if you don't intend to claim any. There is no limit to the number of prompts you can submit.

 

You can claim more than one prompt; however, you must submit the output of your first prompt before claiming another.

 

If you are a graphic artist, you can choose the same prompt as a writer. 

               

The minimum word count for fanfiction is 500 words.

Fanarts or graphic edits must be at least 500px by 500px.

 

You can create stories or art not based on the submitted prompts, but we encourage you to choose from our list.

 

You can tell anyone that you're participating in the fest, but don't divulge which prompt you submitted or claimed.

 

 

If you have any concerns, message us on twitter, asianfanfics or you can leave questions on our ask.fm.
