Guidelines:

Guidelines are simple! We only ask that your prompts have Baekhyun as part of the main pairing or as main focus of the fic! That means it can be in any alternate universe, with any pairing (as long as it includes Baekhyun), and any rating/theme! We just ask that prompts do not include any non/dubcon or pedophilia - we're very serious about that, and mods have the right to disregard any prompts with these themes in them.

Prompting Form

Please feel free to fill out as many forms as you like! There isn't a limit on the number you can fill out :D And here is what you'll find on the prompting form:

• Contact information - This is just so that when a writer claims your prompt and they have a question, we can contact you to receive an answer! We promise that this information will only be for the mods' use and will not be shared elsewhere. (This will be something like your email or twitter @ so that we can easily message you if we/the writer have a question about your prompt!)


• Pairing - This is where you'll write which pairing(s) you want your prompt to be written for! This can include any ex-members of Exo, any other kpop idols, actors that Baekhyun has worked with, or you can simply write "any" and the pairing can be up to the writer! If you do have a preference on which pairing (but still want to write Baekhyun/Any), please be sure to write your preferences in the "Lights" section of the form, the same goes for pairings that you do not want to see at all (you can write those in the "Darks" section of the form).


• Rating - Here you have the option to choose from G, PG, PG13, R, NC17, and Any/All. If you don't have a preference when it comes to rating, you'll want to choose the "any/all" option. If you have questions about the rating system, please feel free to ask the mods and we'll be happy to explain!


• Prompt - This is where you'll be writing your prompt down! Please be sure not to make it too vague or too specific. We want to give our writers a good idea of the prompt/setting/plot, but not too much that they feel like they can't make the idea their own. But also, just have fun with this! We can't wait to see all the lovely prompts you have in store for us! Here are some examples of what a good/bad prompt looks like:

Good Prompt: Baekhyun thought his life was great as it was. He had great friends and a loving family. So why he agreed to go out with the Chinese exchange student; the resident playboy, was beyond him.
Bad Prompt 1: Baekhyun's life was great, amazing even. He had good friends, a loving family and no worries. Well that's until one day, a Chinese exchange student with the name of Yixing decided to ask him out. He goes out of his way to prove Baekhyun that he truly is in love with him with flowers, romantic gestures and cute guitar serenades. Yixing was basically making him walking around like a constant tomato because of him constant making him blush. Yixing really did turn his life around, and Baekhyun finds himself actually sort of enjoying it. (Too specific)
Bad Prompt 2: Yixing is in love with Baekhyun and Baekhyun think he loves him back. (too vague)

• Lights (wants) - This is where you'll write your preferences and wants for your prompt. Now keep in mind that the writer does not need to follow these exactly, but they're strong suggestions! Things like "happy ending" or a specific side pairing can be written here!


• Darks (do not wants) - This is where you'll write the things that you absolutely do not want to see in your prompt/fic! Things like "character death", "angst", or a specific side pairing that you really don't want at all. Unlike the "Lights" section, the writers do need to follow this section completely, so if you really want don't want a sad ending, be sure to write that here.


• Triggers/Warnings - This is where, if it applies, you'll write any triggers or warnings your prompt may have. If your prompt contains sensitive material like abuse, death, mentions of blood or self-harm - these will all be written in this section. Prompts that have warnings filled out for them will also be separated into a section all their own on the prompting archive when it is released, so those that wish not to see triggering/sensitive prompts don't have to!

And that's it! We hope that you enjoy your time here with us, basking in the light, and please let us know if you have any questions! Let the prompting begin!
