RISE - A Taeyang Writing Contest
Your story must be based off at least one of the following prompts OR use a song off the "RISE" album as your inspiration. These are simply "sun" or "rise" inspired quotes or lyrics that I love. If you have a different "Taeyang" inspired quote that you want to use, please ask for approval before you start. I may add it to the list. Please remember to annotate your prompt somewhere in the Foreword, along with a link back to the writing contest.
