No Happy Ending is an EXO fanfiction and fanarts festival with angsty, tragic and dark theme.

 

The stories or graphics may revolve around broken relationships, character death, tragedy, violence, psychological themes, or anything that'll shatter our hearts and turn us into an emotional wreck.

The most important rule: It shouldn't have a happy ending.

General Rules

 

This fanfiction and fanart fest is for any EXO (OT12) members. You can include non-EXO characters as long as the main lead or leads are EXO members.

                     

Aside from pairs or ships, member-centric and ot# are allowed.

 

We accept all genres and ratings (G to NC-17). You can submit prompts or create stories and art with disturbing and triggering themes, but they will be properly tagged with warnings. The theme of this fest is supposed to be tragic and dark so we hope everyone has an open mind.

 

You can submit prompts even if you don't intend to claim any. There is no limit to the number of prompts you can submit.

 

You can claim more than one prompt; however, you must submit the output of your first prompt before claiming another.

 

If you are a graphic artist, you can choose the same prompt as a writer. 

               

The minimum word count for fanfiction is 1000 words.

Fanarts or graphic edits must be at least 500px by 500px.

 

You can create stories or art not based on the submitted prompts, but we encourage you to choose from our list.

 

You can tell anyone that you're participating in the fest, but don't divulge which prompt you submitted or claimed.

 

 

 

 

If you have any concerns, message us on twitter or you can leave questions on our ask.fm.

You can also send us an email at [email protected]

 

 

That's all for now! See you soon!
