INFORMATION
Hello everyone! I just returned from a trip to China and I'm absolutely bushed, but I didn't want to delay this update/bump post any further than it's already been. ^^; There's the September update, the October update, two mini updates (two weeks and one week), and a three-day countdown left. It seems like a lot, but the last stretch will be very hectic since time will be running out. If you're a student and you have school starting soon, definitely keep in mind how you'll be managing your time.
The song list will be fixed up by the September update, since it's been long overdue and the contest deadline is coming up. I am working on other things (yay real life), but if I don't do it soon, then I'll probably never get around to fixing it. OTL But in good news, yay for Ring Ding Dong reaching 100 million views on Youtube! This was the song that brought me to SHINee and even though a good chunk of people don't like it, I absolutely love Ring Ding Dong. When I first listened to it, I remember Jonghyun starting off the song with "BABE" and I literally had to pause the video, because I was so shocked by the sheer intensity of that first word, HAHA. And a few weeks later, after I binged their earlier MVs and declared myself a full-fledged Shawol, I had a vivid dream of meeting Onew and Key, and telling them how pretty they were. ^^; Ah, good times, good times. Hopefully we can reach more milestones for the boys in the coming months and years, and even if we don't, we should still celebrate what they've given us these past ten years and appreciate what they've done for the K-Pop community. :)
And my main writing contest, Shoes of a Unicorn Writing Contest, is about to wrap its eighth round! If you'd like to join the fun and try your hand at winning some merch earlier, since the deadline for Round Eight is set in September, definitely head on over! I'm also giving away a copy of EXO's The War album, so if you're also an EXO-L, you don't want to miss out! :)
And I don't know if anyone here would care, but since I'm trying to work on being more comfortable with promoting myself, I will be starting up a character dialogue / audio fic shop of sorts in September. If you'd like your character(s) to have a voice, I can give them voices by reading some dialogue for you. And if you'd like your entire fic read out loud, I can create and edit a full-length audio fic for you. The idea is still in the planning stage and I talk more about it here if you're interested!
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! Take care of yourselves, everyone! Please remember that you are never alone. We're all in this together. :)
We miss you, Jonghyun. You worked hard. You did well.
