Update #12 (11.15.17)

From Head to Toes Writing Contest

UPDATE #12
11.15.17

 

 

INFORMATION

Hi guys! There is exactly ONE month left until the deadline! I have linked a countdown timer on the foreword, so please use this to know exactly when I will close the contest! This is the last of the monthly updates, but I will post mini-updates on December 1st, December 7th, and the three days leading up to the deadline. No formatting on those, since I'll be studying for finals and I won't have a lot of time to hunt for pictures, haha. They'll mostly be short reminders with any possible updates on the prize list and the song list.
 
Thank you to everyone who submitted an entry this past month! There was an influx of Sehun entries, so there will be a Best Of - Sehun prize! ^^ Just so there's a head-count, as of today, these are the number of entries that have been submitted for each member.
Lay: 3
Baekhyun: 8
Chen: 7
Lu Han: 1
Suho: 2
Chanyeol: 3
Xiumin: 3
D.O: 3
Sehun: 5
Kris: 0
Tao: 0
Kai: 2
 
Granted, only eight entries have been completed so far, so I'll need to think about how I proceed if people don't finish their stories. Hopefully most of them are finished by the deadline. If you need an extension, please let me know! I know people are busy (i'm always busy lol), and December is especially busy because of final exams and holiday parties. I don't want to shift the deadline itself, because the only time I'll have to judge stories is during my winter break and I want to have the winners posted before I start my last semester of uni in January. (i'm also starting another contest right after this, so i want to wrap this up first before i start that one lol) But I'll see what happens this month.
 
Nature Republic still doesn't have Sehun merch in stock, so they gave me an EXO Nature Republic photocard set instead. I already have it, so it's been added to the prize list, which will now stay as is. They told me that they'll re-stock their fans and stands by Black Friday, so I'll pop in the store next week to see if I can nab the Sehun fan and the Sehun stand. Fingers crossed! For the song list, I've added Bye Babe, which is God-sent. So happy for Chen, since he got to live out one of his dreams (fanboy!Chen is my aesthetic) and he wrote such a great song with 10cm. :') All of EXO's Station 2 songs have been great so far, so bless SME for continuing such a wonderful project.
 
Round Seven of my other writing contest, Shoes of a Unicorn Writing Contest, is currently open! If you want to try your hand at winning some more K-Pop merch next year, go ahead and enter there as well. It's a great opportunity to win more stuff, especially since your entries can be entered in both contests! ^^ 
 
So that's all for today! 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'd also like to be a karma donator, please contact me so we can discuss the specifics. I will repay you for your generosity! Have a great month and happy writing!

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:
