Hosted by luv_kero
Welcome to From Head to Toes Writing Contest! This is an EXO writing contest/giveaway! I wanted to host this contest in honor of EXO's fifth anniversary and my first anniversary of being an EXO-L. Going to my first K-Pop concert, which happened to be an EXO concert, on Valentine's Day of 2016 changed my life. Because I've become so enamored with these dorks, I decided to host a one-time writing contest for them since I won't be featuring EXO on my main writing contest any time soon. And I want to be more indulgent for this contest, since my other contest is very open-ended in terms of character usage. So if you write about idols other than EXO, check out the Shoes of a Unicorn Writing Contest to enter that as well! There's also merchandise to be won in that contest, so you're not missing out! If you're a fan of Red Velvet, check out the Scent of a Rose Writing Contest, which is a Red Velvet-centric writing contest that I'm hosting in 2020! And if you're a fan of SHINee, check out the Pearl Aqua Dreams Writing Contest, which was a SHINee-centric writing contest that I hosted in 2018! And if you're a fan of Monsta X, check out the Starry Knight Writing Contest, which was a Monsta X-centric writing contest that I hosted in 2019!

007.Since this is an EXO-centric contest, at least one of the main characters must be an EXO member (current or former). Other K-Pop idols, actors/actresses, and OCs may be used as main/side characters as long as an EXO member is featured as a main character in your entry.

009.Beta readers are allowed. If English is not your first language, I highly recommend you get a beta reader so you will not lose points due to poor grammar, awkward sentence structure, etc.

011.You may enter as many stories as you'd like to this contest as that may increase your chances of placing in the top three and/or receiving a Best Of karma prize. However, you will only receive one physical prize. As much as I'd like to give a physical prize for every story entered, I do have limited funds. The entry form must be filled out for each story.

012.Your stories may be entered into other contests, as long as they allow it as well. I highly encourage you to enter your stories in my main writing contest as well, as long as they adhere to the rules there. You will get double my love.
