BTS Surprise Ship Fest 2

Pop Quiz: In Season 1, which ship was written for this prompt? Rival models/actors A and B show up to the red carpet wearing matching outfits. Obviously, everyone assumes it's planned and that it's a silent way of announcing their (heavily rumoured) relationship. A and B are having none of it.

It's time for a Surprise Pop Quiz! Are you caught up on your Season 1 readings??

Comment/Quote if you know the answer, or take a guess based on ~vibes~ Then see if you can find the fic(s) in the collection ☺️

🖤 SCHEDULE

A black-and-white monochrome picture from the Arirang era GQ photoshoot, featuring Seokjin leaning back on a couch, manspreading, with one arm behind his head. FIC REQUIREMENTS Explicit No AI (writing & images) Respect DWs/DNWs Proper ratings, tags, & content warnings Complete the Submission Form

There is no required word count, and WIPs (incomplete chaptered fics) are allowed.

A black-and-white monochrome picture from the Arirang era GQ photoshoot, featuring Namjoon with his leg propped up on something (so sorry, I do not remember what), one hand in his pocket, and sunglasses pulled down the bridge of his nose. Graphic text: There are no content restrictions. As long as your fic features a BTS ship as the main pairing, and isn’t a reader-insert, anything can happen After Dark. That’s kind of the point, isn’t it? ;)

If you would like to write more than two prompts, please email or DM the fest for approval. Consider only requesting additional prompts if you've already completed your first two submissions (rather than submit multiple WIPs). It's for your own good; trust the mod who has too many themselves

🖤 RULES

The BTS Surprise Ship Fest is a “ship-less” fest. Our goal is to give authors the freedom to claim prompts that speak to them, without being limited to a specific ship. Season 2: After Dark is an opportunity for prompters and writers to indulge in deliciously explicit stories, everything from filthy smut to darkfic and horror.* *It is NOT mandatory to write dark themes for this fest. Want to write the fluffiest smut anyone has ever seen? As long as it’s explicit, write it!

Happy Sunday, fickle fiends! Once AO3 is back in action, we will announce important updates to the fest!

[update] Investigating: We are investigating reports of errors when trying to load AO3, including errors saying that AO3 is down.

Only one chapter left in this one!!!!

💜 Stressed Primary Mod & Mod's Kind Friend

Hi everyone, thank you for your patience with this fest. Our primary mod had difficulty managing an unexpected IRL circumstance, and our overall organization fell apart. We’re deeply sorry for not providing consistent updates in December & January regarding the situation
