Entires are now closed! For the people who have messaged me about extensions, please follow those instructions. I look forward to reading all of the entries! I expected judging period to take 2-3 weeks, but I will keep everyone updated on once I know for sure. 

 

Thank you for your interest!

Entries are updated ~~ I will be adding more kpop merch to the prize list some time this week. Also, I believe this will be the LAST round of exoplosion, meaning that we may just give away all of the merch as prizes even to other winners or honorable mentions! 

 

I may host another fic contest in the future, but instead of an EXO one, it may just be for a pairing I really like, like Xiuhan or Sekai hahahaha I want to be self indulgent but I am not sure how much interest there would be. I would probably be giving away some bigger money items just because its so self indulgent though. 

 

 

3/20/2016

Entries are updated again!  If you do not see your story and you entered, please DM me ASAP! There were a few entries that did not follow the rules and were left out of the entries list. 11 more days to submit entries!

Entries are updated! Thank you for being patient with me TT I had so many exams this week, and I went to go see EXO in New York last week so I didn't have much time to study. 

 

If you don't see your fic, contact me immediately and we'll figure it out ~~~

Hope all is well! Just wanted to announced that Reading Is Beautiful review shop is partnering with us to offer reviews to participants AFTER the contest ends. All participants can let me know if they want a review and I will pass it on. Reviews will be FREE, done on a timely manner, but will be from that review shop (therefore not representative of judges' criteria). It is a good chance to get more feedback about your fic!

 

Please keep writing and entering! Anyone going to EXOlution? I'll be at the NY one!

Hey guys, there is a temporary list of PRIZES up on the main page, and through this link. First and second place winners will be able to claim some merch. If you want the merch, that does mean you have to give me a valid US mailing address. I promise I am not creepy and will not stalk you     u w u

 

More prizes will be added in Jan!

Actually it's still 10/31 in my time zone, but I think I am busy tonight at midnight so I've opened up entry submissions a little early. It's November somewhere in the world, right? :)

 

Anyway, please make sure to read ALL instructions before submitting. Hopefully we can update the entries list once a week, but that might depend on how many entries we have.

 

In addition, the kpop merch list will be updated ASAP (in the following week TT.TT I've been busy with midterms, sorry). Note that the goodies are subject to change. I am visiting Tokyo and Seoul in Jan and might buy more things :3

 

I'm excited to read this round's new stories! Let the contest begin ~

Hi guys, EXOplosion is finally (almost) back! 

 

Our new round will open on November 1, and we will be accepting entries until March 31! This is the holiday round, meaning your story must contain either christmas, new years, or valentine's day. We will be very lenient with how you choose to incorporate the holiday. Check out the rules on the main page for now ~~ More announcements soon!

 

Much thanks to our coder, suzuyas, and let's welcome the new judge!
