    Anything that features Kim Hongjoong in the main pairing and complies with the theme! You can combine different AUs and tropes as long as romance is the main theme (ex. space bandits in love). We allow both SFW and NSFW prompts (18+ required for NSFW prompts). If submitting two (2) prompts, each must be a different pairing, if a pairing is specified at all.    How do I claim prompts?

    Yes, though you must complete your first prompt. Note: your first prompt must be a completed work, not just one that satisfies the word count.    I am co-authoring. How do I claim a prompt?

    Yes! You may drop out at any time, just please notify a mod via email or Twitter before you do so we can make your prompt available to be claimed again.    I don't know if I'll complete my fic by the deadline, but I don't want to drop out. What do I do?
