Obey these rules:
1. The use of a prompt is optional. They are only there for inspiration.

The road to failure:
- entering with horror or stories featuring female idols as main characters. (Horror and entries should be or feature a female OC as the main female character - Exo-centric stories not included - and only be submitted to stardust)
- Entering with an EXO-Centric story that has or is Horror genre. (Exo-centric stories should be straight pairings only and exclusively submitted to Wanderlust and should not contain or Horror)

Stardust Cheat Sheet:
+5 VIXX Centric Entries.
+2 all other Boy group Centric / Male Idol fics (excluding EXO).
+2 Stories (+2 if you use odd pairings / non-popular pairings / Mix groups or use one of the   pairings in the list below. +3 if you use a threesums below and +4 if you use a foursum).
+2 Well written (no PWP).
+5 for incorporating Stardust (in whatever way you can think of) into your story.
-10 for Exo Centric Stories (I will reduce the deduction by half if Yifan, Zitao, Jongdae, Chanyeol, Yixing, or Jongin is the male lead).
-5 for using stage names instead of real names (there needs to be a logical reason for them to go by a name that isn't their given name).
-30 For the use of female idols as main characters (Antagonists not included).
-40 for any Super Junior OTPs with Donghae.
-10 for use of 2nd person perspective ("you/your/you're").
