Inter Group Fic Fest

The Inter-Group Fic Fest celebrates pairings both romantic and platonic between members of different groups.

Rules

  • The main pairing must feature idols from at least two groups. (Examples: Mark Lee/Shen Xiaoting, Kim Lip/Jane (Momoland), or Jaemin/Big Matthew)

  • Soloists count as their own group for this, so IU/Wonho would be a valid pairing

  • Gen fics are welcome, so long as the main characters are from different groups

  • Relationships can also be any number of people, so long as at least one of them is from a different group

  • The word count minimum is 500

  • Explicit fics may only be written by adult authors

  • Romantic pairings may not mix adult and underage idols

  • No dead dove tropes; if one is necessary for your fic, please discuss it with the mods

Rounds

  • We’re running this fest split into two rounds this year and providing the option of a shorter fest to accommodate authors who would also like to join summer fests.

  • The signup form has an option to select which posting round you’d like to set as your deadline. This is not binding and is just to judge how many fics will be posted in each round.

  • No worries if you sign up for round one and miss the deadline. We’ll post your fic during round two!

  • And as always, there are no penalties for dropping out. You can let us know or not. It’s okay!
