From Head to Toes Writing Contest

UPDATE #5

INFORMATION

Hi guys! Happy five years with EXO! I am so proud of our boys and they've come so far in such a short amout of time. They've broken so many records, sold so many albums, and brought so much happiness into our lives and their own. Even though the road has been tough for these boys especially, they've managed to overcome all of the adversity and they are truly one of the legends of K-Pop. I will always stan this group and I hope that it's smoother sailing from here on out for EXO, because they've had their fair share of hardships. Not to mention, I feel so blessed to know how amazing these boys are and SME has spoiled us with Baekhyun's first solo Station song! Getting a solo from one of my biases right before my birthday is such a gift, so thank you SME and Baekhyun for being your wonderful selves!
 
So with that, I have added Take You Home to the song list! I've also added Stay With Me (i kno i'm late), even though I have yet to watch Goblin. I usually don't listen to OSTs of dramas I haven't watched, but Stay With Me and Everytime are exceptions since they randomly popped up on my Pandora station and I've been jamming to them ever since. More merch will be added to the prize list once I finish school. I don't have much time nowadays to shop for K-Pop merch and the only time I've gone to my usual store these past few months was this past Wednesday to buy the newest GOT7 album for myself as a birthday gift, haha. But I'll be going to Nature Republic later today to buy stuff, so if anything, I might get some of those EXO cosmetics I promised awhile back and if I'm lucky, I'll get some free fans and stands. Fingers crossed!
 
Also, a big thank you to inanotherforever for donating karma for the Best Of prizes! Thanks to her generous donation, I can be a bit more ambitious with the Best Of prizes than I was originally planning to be. All of the base logistics will be figured out once I finish my final exams in the beginning of May. And by then, more entries will (hopefully) be submitted and I can see if there are any adjustments I need to make to my current plan. I'll definitely let you all know in the May update! And if you'd also like to be a karma donator, please contact me so we can discuss the specifics. I will repay you for your generosity!
 
If you want to join a mini merch giveaway/writing challenge, I'm giving away two BTS fans in my other writing contest Shoes of a Unicorn Writing Contest. The giveaway/challenge will be going on for the months of April and May, so if you'd like, join now before it's too late!
 
And thank you to everyone who has submitted an entry since my last update! We've hit double digits in terms of number of entries entered, so yay! I'm really anticipating the judging period at the end of the year! Sorry that this update contained a lot of rambling. I'll keep the future updates much shorter. Anyway, please continue to write stories, submit entries, and promote the contest! If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please contact me via the comment box, my wall, or private messages. I respond to all messages within 24 hours. And if you're going to the EXO'rDIUM in LA in two weeks, hit me up! I'd love to meet! :)

Chapter 25: Thank you so much for hosting! It's been a hell of a ride and a hell of an inspiration for me, personally as a writer, and I really appreciate all that you've pulled through with, even through everything that's happened lately. So thanks for all the hard work and dedication you've put into this contest, and all the positive vibes you've created as well.

Congratulations to all the winners too!

Chapter 25: first of all, i'd just like to say thank you so much for hosting this contest. you've been having an extremely rough time and i'm so happy you're feeling well enough to announce winners. everyone has been taking jonghyun's passing really hard. it took me a solid three days to realize it was real and not some news source's sick, awful prank.

i'm really grateful i was able to place eighth despite the fact that everyone was confused af in my comments. i was super nervous that it was horrible or something. congrats to all of the winners!!

Chapter 25: Thank you so much for hosting this contest! This is my first time participating in one and you made it as enjoyable as possible for me with the list of prizes and updates. honestly speaking I have been on writer's block for months ever since Pretend was published but somehow reading this today really made me wanna just sit down in front of my laptop and quickly start on my half-completed stories. I guess it's the motivation to do better :) anyway, thank you again!

Chapter 25: I've been quietly supporting this contest, but I just wanted to drop by and say:
Congrats to the winners! (I see 2 fics I enjoyed reading myself 8D) And also *파이팅* ne?
It takes a lot of courage to write something so personal, and I sympathise. ><
Let's hope Pearl Aqua Dreams helps towards us Shawols getting though this emotional time.

Chapter 25: Ahhh, I’ve never actually participated in a contest before - I always said to myself ‘maybe I’ll do that!’ and then I never did. But I’m glad that wasn’t the case this time.
Thank you for doing this contest, and thank you so much for your message on Jonghyun. I’ve only just been able to start reading stuff again so I can only imagine how hard it was for you. But you did it! You read all the entries and you finished this contest, that’s as much of an achievement as people finishing their stories. And on the topic of finishing stories... I finished one! Granted it was a one-shot but I finished it! I am glad that I found this contest 24 hours before the deadline... because it gave me a push that I needed. But next time I’ll definitely look towards joining before the deadline hahaha
No matter what my ranking, I’m happy with myself for writing something so thank you for helping me to do that :)
And I’m happy with my ranking too!
So thank you, again, for doing this competition and well done to you for doing it!
Congratulations to all the winners c:
