MASTERLIST
Welcome to the 500 Feelings Headquarters! This is where we keep our Core Memories. Feel free to tap the orbs to revisit works from our previous rounds!
Inspired by the famous Disney-Pixar animated film which depicts human emotions. Writers were challenged to create a story focusing on human emotions/feelings for this round.
To honor the birthday of the god of the winds, Oh Sehun, this round's theme is focused on mythological gods and goddesses.
Round 3 is dedicated to our genius idol, Byun Baekhyun. As he turns √25 x (42/7), this round challenges our writers' creativity by making prompts and fics out of facts and theories.
For our 4th round, writers are challenged to write about Baekhyun and Sehun being on "different sides" — parallel universes and long distance relationships to name a few examples.
FAQ
BETA READERS
No beta readers will be provided by the moderators. Writers may look and choose for their own betas, granting that they shall both abide by the rules and guidelines regarding anonymity.
THEMES
As each round is based on themes, this fest will have no prompting period. Writers will be formulating their own prompts and stories in line with the theme provided.
EXTENSIONS
Writers may ask for extensions. Only a maximum of 3 days will be given as an extension. Writers must submit their works on or before the final extended deadline. Failure to do so will require the writers to either submit their current final output or drop-out from the fest.
DROP-OUTS
Writers are allowed to drop-out anytime before the deadline for submission. Should you need to drop-out, please inform us in either DM or e-mail. You may rejoin on the succeeding rounds. Failure to inform us of your decision to drop-out will have you suspended from joining the current and the next round of the fest. Multiple drop-outs without notice will have you banned permanently from joining the fest. Always remember the rule #15, communication is key!
SIGN-UPS
Writers are not required to join every round. You may join as you wish.
💡 How to join?
Fill-out the sign-up forms provided at the start of every round. Forms may require you to provide pertinent information (e.g. Twitter account, e-mails, AO3 account) and brief details regarding the fic you have in mind. By submitting a completely filled-out form, the writer agrees to adhere to the rules of the fest and is expected to be cooperative with the moderators.
A confirmation e-mail containing the details of the round and a few reminders will be sent within 24-48 hours. Writers will be required to acknowledge receipt of e-mail within 24 hours. Follow-ups and resend of confirmation e-mails will only be done up to 3 times. Make sure your DMs are open for follow-ups. Failure to acknowledge will automatically drop writers from the round and shall be suspended from joining the current and the next round of the fest. They may be allowed to rejoin after, granting that the same occurrence does not happen again. If the writer once again fails to acknowledge for this time around, they will be banned permanently from joining the fest.
Example:
Writer A signed up for the 1st round of 500feelings but failed to acknowledge the confirmation e-mail after follow-ups and resent e-mails, they will not be allowed to join the current round (Round 1) any longer, as well as the following round (Round 2). However, they may rejoin in Round 3 should they decide to sign-up once again. If Writer A decides to sign-up for Round 3 again but still failed to acknowledge, they will be banned permanently.
Upon acknowledgment of e-mails, writers may start working on their fics. Writers will be given 2 weeks or approximately 14 days to write. However, writers are not required to consume the entire period. If they finished before the deadline and wishes to submit their works ahead of time, they may do so.
Once work has been submitted, writers are required to send us a separate e-mail as instructed in the confirmation. Before submitting, writers must make sure that their works are final. Submitted works are checked by the moderators before approval to ensure that the rules and guidelines are followed. Editing your story after submission is highly discouraged in order not to miss any pertinent details. However, should there be major changes that must be done, please inform us so we can also re-check your submissions. Editing tags, author's notes, and/or minor grammatical and punctation errors are okay.
After submission, you may sit back, relax, and wait for the posting of your fics! Remember, anonymous until reveals!
Writers may start posting and linking their tweets publicly once reveals are over. This shall conclude the round.
