SHINee is coming to town to spread some Christmas cheer! I am proud to announce the third SHINee Secret Santa event here on AFF ^^

Join for the chance to meet new Shawols while exchanging one-shots as Christmas present. This is a great oppurtunity to make friends and celebrate the holidays with fellow SHINee fans.

How to participate:

• Sign up by subscribing. 
• Complete the form with the following info and then leave a comment once you have submited the form.

​           Prompt: (this can be anything - a situation, a quote, a song, a theme, a genre, etc.)  

              Pairing: (between the SHINee members, of course)

              Things You REFUSE To Write: (specific pairings you really dislike or can't write about, also specific genres you aren't confident in, whether or not you're comfortable writting themes)

• Submit the form here: ENTRIES CLOSED
• Entries end November 5th. I will send out the prompts within the next week via SHINee Secret Santa's official e-mail. I will make an announcement when all the prompts have been distributed.
• You have until December 17th, 2015 to submit your completed fic. NO EXCEPTIONS. Please send it to me, KeyShawol, through the event e-mail where you received your prompt. 
• The writings will be posted on here as individual chapters. I will tell the person who came up with that prompt that it is has been posted. The fics will be posted in batches each day, the amount depending on how many entries there are, up until Christmas day.
• I will announce who wrote what on January 1st after all the stories have been posted.

Rules

1. Subscribe!!!
2. Comment and say that you're joining. You have until November 5th to submit the form with your prompt, although I preffer you submit it as soon as you join.
3. The fics are boyXboy (). DO NOT submit a prompt with Xgirl or Xoc.
4. Be open to writting any pairing in SHINee. I understand if there is one pairing you absolutely will not write about, but please don't say that there is only one pairing you will write about.
5. Prompts are open to your creativity, but don't be TOO specific. Give the authors space for their own ideas.
6. ual themes are allowed, but I'd like to keep the level low so that everyone can enjoy this event. (When submitting a completed fic, please specify clearly if the story is rated M so that people who don't want to see it won't.)
7. Minimum word count of 2,000. You're free to go over this number. Please, no less than this in order to keep things fair.
8. Stories must be turned in to me by December 17th at the latest. If it is not turned in by then, your person will not receive their fic on time with everyone else and will be upset. PLEASE have it done on time. It's unfair to the person with your prompt if you don't participate fairly.
9. Do not post your fic on your account until the Secret Santas have been revealed. That means not until AFTER January 1st.
10. No revealing your prompt or what you've written until they have ALL been announced on here.
11. Proofread and edit. I will be posting fics EXACTLY how I receive them, so make sure they are at their best.

I will be posting reminders periodically to make sure everything gets done on time. Please pay attention to updates on this event!

Spread the word to fellow Shawols! More people partcipating means more SHINee fans to meet and more creativity available for the fics. Let's make this a big event in the Shawol community and get as many people involved as possible. Last year we had more participants than the year before and I hope that is the case this year as well :)
