THANK YOU FOR 500 FOLLOWERS! (๑•́ ₃ •̀๑)

so i recently got to 500 followers.... words cannot describe how immensely grateful i am for all the support & love i've received for my little fics since i started in october (so recent, i know!). i've always hesitated to put my work out here because i've always been afraid about them not being good enough what with all the talented writers already here, but all this love has really helped me gain so much confidence in my own work and ability to create stories for u all. thank you all so much! ❤️‍🔥

to celebrate this incredible milestone, i'm opening requests up for a little ~event~. from now till 20 january yes only two days-ish because i am a working adult with responsibilities unfortunately:

send me an ask with a skz member, one of the following aus & one of the following dialogue prompts

and i'll write a drabble for you!

please expect slight delays because i'm actually going on vacation from the 20th onwards (teehee) but i still wanna do this for you guys. please be patient! anyways please click 'keep reading' to check the full list of au's and dialogue prompts to choose from. i'll only take those from this list!

thank you again — can't wait to get cracking on these little stories!

also, view my general masterlist ฅ́˘ฅ̀ / view the masterlist for this event ฅ́˘ฅ̀

I LIED. MORE RULES BEFORE WE START:

you can send me up to two dialogue prompts and two AUs, but only one member per request (unless it's the love triangle one, in that case pick two)

if you're sending in two AUs, pls try to make sure they make sense together kshfkdjdn

you can specify if you want it to be angst, fluff, etc, but strictly no nsfw. suggestive, maybe! but that's up to my own discretion. i will assume that anything left unspecified will be up to me.

i have the right to reject/not attend to any requests if i think they're weird (or you're weird) or if they've (or something similar) been done before already

i will try my best to post an even amount of drabbles across all 8 members—meaning if i get an overwhelming amount of requests for one member, i'll probably reject most of them in favour of other members (if that makes sense idk)

my general guidelines still apply.

i WILL turn some of these into crack fics. just forewarning u

send me any questions u may have for me before u make an official request!!! inbox is always open (๑ᵔ⤙ᵔ๑)
