Mod Post: Round 3 Lightning Drabble Round (Open to Everyone!)

[almostblue.livejournal.com]

Hello!

The mod team (roebling and myself, almostblue) just want to say again that we are so incredibly grateful to everyone who has written, read, and commented for this third round of TBB. Thank you for your time and effort and talent! It's been amazing to see so much great enthusiasm and energy!

While we wait for the last few stories to get posted, we're going to hold a Lightning Drabble Round!

Before I get into what that means, I want to introduce this year's honorary mods for the lightning round - i_luv_tvxq, (you may know her as @TVXQluff) and akmongs (@himchanni), who runs bapfanfiction. They are both wonderful people who keep the fandom running through recs, comments and kudos, quietly and without much fanfare. We think they're great, and we wanted to thank them for all of their hard work over the years.

So as this round progresses, feel free to ask them questions as well! If roebling and I aren't around (or aren't...awake, ahaha, timezones /o\) they are here to help you out :)

Our hope is that the Lightning Drabble Round will be a fast, fun, low pressure opportunity for everyone to keep writing a little bit more! Here's how it will work:

1) If you want to participate, comment on this entry with a pairing you'd like to write. Please keep it to one comment per pairing.

2) A mod (any mod!) will reply with 3-5 random one word prompts.

For example, you might comment with the pairing DaeJae. A mod will reply to your comments with the prompts: apple, blonde, sneakers, failure, nuna

3) You have until September 13th to write as many drabbles as you want based on those prompts! All the drabbles you write should be under 1,000 words. They can use any of the words, all of the words, whatever you want. Post your fics as replies to the mod comment, and title them like this:[prompt, pairing, rating, warnings] in the heading of the comment. There's no assigned posting times or deadlines, so you can post 'em as you write 'em!

You don't have to have participated in the exchange to take part in the lightening round! Anon commenting will be enabled so anon participants should also be able to take part. It's low stakes, so if you can only write one drabble based on your prompt, that's absolutely fine. 10 drabbles? Fine too! Real life gets in the way and you can't write at all? We get it.

If there are any questions we haven't answered just comment below and we'll try to answer them right away! Otherwise, that's it! Lightning Drabble Round starts now, and runs until 9/13! Hwaiting!!!

THE LIGHTNING ROUND IS NOW CLOSED! Please stay tuned for an updated masterlist shortly!

backstage, pink, Himdae, R, no warnings

When they had first been presented with the outfits they would be wearing for the second Baby Day, Daehyun had laughed himself silly at the pink skirts and cardigans and had congratulated himself on managing to get out of that one. Youngjae had bemoaned his fate and pleaded with Manager Kang to have a change of plans, or to make sure no cameras would enter the event whatsoever, or to at least please shut Daehyun up, because otherwise Youngjae would do it for him.

Junhong had merely looked like he wanted to hide in a hole somewhere, while Yongguk patted his shoulder and assured him it would be fine, though the upturned corners of his mouth and the twinkle in his eyes showed his infinite amusement and did nothing to calm the maknae's nerves. Jongup, on the other hand, hadn't seemed too bothered, while Himchan had only complained that he thought the clothes weren't flattering enough.

Later, when the four boys were getting ready to go on stage, Daehyun had tried to be a bit more discreet about his laughter, though to no great success. More embarrassed than annoyed now, Youngjae had rammed his wig on his head, refusing any help from the coordi noonas on fixing the hair and insisting that he preferred it this way. Junhong had stared forlornly, stuck with a headband he'd never be able to hide his face behind, but rejecting Jongup's offer to switch. It had been Himchan who had caused Daehyun's uncontrollable giggles, though, and he had teasingly referred to him as "ahjumma", to which the older had replied by smacking him over the head before marching off.

Daehyun's laughter had died in his throat when the skirt swirled around Himchan's legs, showing them off more than the vocalist deemed necessary.

He had stopped laughing completely later on, with the cardigan hanging off Himchan's shoulders and the skirt hiked up around his waist - the wig long gone - as Daehyun buried himself between those thighs somewhere in a dusty room backstage, ignoring the calls of his name from down the corridor and instead whispering Himchan's against his neck.
