Only Onew [Closed Contest]
Description
I don’t know if you know this, but Onew is my bias in SHINee. I know, right? Surprising. Considering I write a 2min fic every day and then some. I feel like Onew doesn’t get enough love, especially from fic writers. He’s often a side character, even in some of my fics. So the point of this is to give him all the love in the world, whether it be from the attention you give him by doing this contest, or the characters in the fic you write.
Foreword
General Rules:
1. Must be your own work (no multiple authors), and it must be new, meaning written for this contest.
2. Must be between 1000 and 30000 words.
3. Maximum two entries per author.
4. Mention this contest and the title of the song you chose (see below) in your foreword.
5. You must be subscribed to this story in order to enter!
Content Rules:
- Pair Onew with any one person (yes, that means male or female). One. ONE. OCs are allowed but discouraged. “Chicken” as a pairing is not allowed.
- Onew must be the protagonist (but not necessarily the narrator or the person whose viewpoint the story is from).
- Make the story as y as you want, BUT the following topics are prohibited: , , ia, and mpreg. Genderbending is allowed but discouraged.
- Side pairings (such as Soheechul or Qmi) are fine as long as they don't detract from or overshadow the main story.
Judging Criteria:
20 points: Plot
20 points: Style
10 points: Boosts
Judging Boosts:
4 points
- Make me cry. This is extremely hard to do.
2 points
- Exceptional plot twists/details. As in “what the duck just happened but I love it.”
1 point (each)
- Use one of my two favorite Onew pairings, which you'll have to either guess or figure out. That shouldn’t be too difficult if you read my stories and/or follow me on tumblr.
- Work in the word "sheikh" skillfully. A bonus is also possible if you use the word incorrectly but make me laugh anyway.
- Name one of your male minor characters “Duck” or its equivalent in any language.
- Give it a happy ending. An extra bonus is possible (but not guaranteed) if you can manage to make me cry and give me a happy ending.
Prizes: TBD, most likely some SHINee merchandise to first, second, and third.
And now on to the good stuff!
I hate prompts because a lot of the time they don’t make sense and they can be restricting. I don’t want to read stories that are crappy because of my crappy prompt. So use this list of inspirational songs instead. Make your prompt a sentence, or maybe a chord, or a topic, or an image, or whatever, as long as it has something to do with one of these songs:
- Altwiener Liebeswalzer by Franz Lehar
- Cave In by Owl City
- Words Meet Heartbeats by Parachute
- Stay by SafetySuit
- Stay by Alison Krauss
- Stay by MBLAQ
- Yellow by Coldplay
- In My Arms by Super Junior M
- Stop! by the Wonder Girls
- Haven’t Met You Yet by Michael Bublé
- Innocence Again by Switchfoot
- Forever Love by Anna Nalick
- Sailboats by Sky Sailing
- The Man Who Can’t Be Moved by The Script
