Lingering stares, heart-shaped smiles, a love-hate relationship, one song. Presenting: the Baekhyun/Kyungsoo fic exchange. ♥

so very enamoured

sooenaemoured is a fanfic exchange for the singing pair, Baekhyun/Kyungsoo! This exchange celebrates the friendship, twisted relationship, and obvious fascination of the two for each other.

How does an exchange work? A participant is assigned another writer to write a fic for based on their writing and reading preferences. Do's and don'ts will be taken into consideration (i.e. writer A says she can't write porn, so she won't be assigned a writer whose prompts are all porn-inspired). Because of this, we request everyone to detail their writing squicks and what they'd like to see in the gift fic written for them. It's for your own good. :)

Dropping out is highly discouraged. Remember that by doing so, you are depriving your recipient of a gift. That's like promising to take someone out on a date and making him/her wait for hours, only to be totally dismissed in the end. IT'S SAD. AND DISHEARTENING. And bad. :( Please don't do it, or else. :)

the rules
1. This is a Baekhyun/Kyungsoo exchange. This means that no matter what, the endgame pairing of your fic must be BaekSoo. Have other pairs in the foreground at the beginning, that's fine as long as Baekhyun and Kyungsoo end up with each other.
2. The minimum word count is 1,500 words. Please don't submit anything below 1,500 words. Even 1,501 is better than 1,499.
3. Do not sign up if you feel that you might have to drop out somewhere along the way. Please understand that this is an exchange and, as we've said above, someone will suffer the consequences of you dropping out.
4. Do not discuss your idea for your assignment in public (Twitter, Facebook, LJ, memes and the like. Offenders will be hunted down and sporked). We'd like to keep the anonymity until the reveals, thank you very much.
5. Choose prompts that are not too limiting. Below are examples of a good and a bad prompt:

GOOD PROMPT: Superheroes AU. Kyungsoo is a mad scientist and Baekhyun is trying really hard to be a hero. Kyungsoo discovers that he can be a hero in his own right by helping out. (You've stated the kind of AU you want and a basic idea of the "details" you want to see.)
BAD PROMPT: Superheroes AU. Kyungsoo is a mad scientist, driven out of his mind by a really bad childhood, and Baekhyun wants to be a superhero, but his mother doesn't approve of his career choice. They meet somewhere along the way and almost get killed, until they decide to help each other. Kyungsoo begins to develop a fondness of Baekhyun after a mission involving having to jump off a 22-storey building. They fall in love. (This is too limiting; you've already dictated the flow of the story.)
BAD PROMPT #2: Kyungsoo and Baekhyun as superheroes. (And then? This is too vague.)
