Rules & Guidelines [SUMMER 2017]

[omgexchangemod]

Welcome to ohmygirlexchange, a fic exchange focused on the lovely 8 members of Oh My Girl, a Korean girl group under WM Entertainment. Whether you're a fic exchange veteran or a newbie, please take a look at this post!



Note: We have decided not to add the fanart category to this exchange.

Process

• You are required to write a fic based on one of the prompts assigned to you, and in return you will receive a fic based on a prompt you provided. Your recipient information will be sent to you via our email, ohmygirlexchange[at]gmail.com. If you want to contact your recipient, e.g. to ask about ship preferences or squicks, please contact the mods and we will get ahold of them for you. 

 

• The exchange will be anonymous until the end of the posting period, and authors will not know who they are writing for. Once all fics are posted by the mod on dreamwidth, the authors will be revealed in a "Reveal Post." Please refrain from uploading the fic onto to your own accounts until after reveals. At that time we will open an AO3 collection that you can post your fic in if you choose!

 

• You do not need a dreamwidth account to participate in this exchange. But you must provide a valid email so that we can send you information about your recipient, changes in schedule, reminders, etc. Updates will also be posted on our twitter, @omgficchallenge.

 

• Halfway during the writing period we will check-in on participants. Just give us an update of how it's going and whether you foresee yourself finishing. You don't need to provide a working draft!

 

• If you are suddenly unable to participate in this fic exchange please contact the mods immediately. We understand that life happens. Telling us sooner makes it less stressful to find a pinch-hitter lol

Fic/Prompt Guidelines

•  Fic should be focused on Oh My Girl.
•  We discourage prompts that require the author to be familiar with band members outside of Oh My Girl, because there is no guarantee your assigned author will be familiar with them. As an author, you are permitted to include other bands in your story at your discretion, as long as the focus remains on Oh My Girl.
•  Idol/Reader fics are not permitted.
•  Minimum word count is 1000 words.
•  Submit your Assignments by August 13 (through email or DM, html formatting preferred)
