probably because a.) that fic was popular and well received so they're taking a cue from it b.) all stories about being gay must be tragic and homophobic c.) angst is the only thing exo fandom can write
so ready for this comeback
how do we feel about ren's red hair and aron's blonde?
lol my new boyfriend brought up boylove idol fics and was all 'gross D: why would people do that' and i just kept quiet and lolled inside
there are some things people are better off not knowing about until the time is right
i'm loving both and i never expected aron to look this good blonde *__*
lmao my friends brought it up the other week and were like "whyyyy ;;;;" and one dude said he could get into it so i high fived him under the table
can we put together some information about prompting? like different types of prompts and what makes a good prompt to give/receive etc etc? i want to compile some information for future reference
;; i just feel like there needs to be a public service announcement about this or something
idk about other people but when a prompt gives a long bulleted list of specifics it's an instant turn off for me. idk if you can't give a prompt within 2-3 succinct sentences maybe you should write the fic yourself.
i see what you mean. there is a point of guidance with a prompt and maybe too much guidance. perhaps if you wanted to list certain specifics for an au prompt the prompter would be better off listing only the key things and prefacing the prompt with something along the lines of, ideas but not required to be used
just out of curiosity anon, could you provide an example of what this type of undesired prompt looks like?

da i think a good example of this is the tasty/exo prompt on the last page of the last kprompts post
rather that than overly vague prompts or completely basic prompts or basically no prompt at all. if you have an idea with a lot of details that you would love to see in it i don't see any problem with listing them out, as long as you leave some sort of freedom with the plot/direction of it as a whole
dda i don't see any problem with that prompt at all? it's an elaborate prompt with a sort of complicated dynamic. there's nothing wrong with saying what you want.
that said, i think there needs to be a distinction between meme prompts and exchange prompts. i think with meme prompts you can go wild bec it's just out there, if someone feels like they wanna write it then that's great and if nobody does then so be it. but with exchange prompts the writer actually has to write one of your prompts so i think you should be a bit careful with those. and always give multiple prompts!! not just two or three, five or six pls!

i see it much more in animanga fandoms than in kfandom. to me something like: http://iwatobiswimclub.dreamwidth.org/2247.html?thread=2187975#cmt2187975 that way too much?
i'm sure some people like the guidance and like knowing exactly what the prompter wants but i just think it's more interesting when there's more room for interpretation. when the mood of every interaction is already spelled out, even if it's listed as a 'bonus' because most of the story they want is already written there? it just feels limiting and it feels like filling that prompt would be a matter of putting someone else's fic into full sentences.
...on the other hand too vague is bad too if someone prompts with just highschool!au or something that's super uninspiring. so i guess it's just a matter of finding healthy middle ground.

my favorite prompts to write for and to give are premise-based prompts, because they're usually specific enough that the writer has a good idea what you want and general enough that they can take it where they want to. so for example, "au where kai is an up-and-coming action movie star and taemin is his stunt double" bc u can kind of get a sense of what characters the main ship/people are. and then you can add in little details if you want, like suho as kai's manager/agent and sehun as kai's non-famous bff, etc
oops, i made a booboo
