hello, mods. is this round only for "fit, muscled chanyeol" or can it be inclusive and appreciative to the times he was not fit too, like when he is soft with his round belly for example?
Hi there! We're here to appreciate Chanyeol at all times! It's not exclusive. This round is to celebrate his talent and passion for sports. As long as your fic has an athletic setting (surfing, skiing, bowling, going to the gym, etc) and makes Chanyeol the central focus, you're all set!🧡
Do you have a compilation for the previous round fics??
Hello there! You can find the links to the previous rounds on our carrd at https://monthlyeol.carrd.co/#previous. This includes our AO3 collections and previous fanart submissions, as well as the individual masterthreads of each round. Thank you for leaving this question, and we hope you enjoy looking through them! 🧡
preparing for r10 & i was wondering if chaptered fics are allowed? can just the first chapter (or chapters) be submitted?
Hi there, thank you so much for your interest and enthusiasm! Here at Monthlyeol, we do ask for your works to be completed prior to submissions. We also welcome our writers to turn their fics into a series where separate works can be added after reveals!
Still, we encourage our contributors to contact us should you need any help with meeting our deadlines. We will always try our best to work around your needs so that you can be part of our collections! 🧡
Can I write any type of story?
Hello! Like all our previous rounds, any story that features Chanyeol as a main character and that fits the current theme will be accepted and loved! Additionally, please be sure that your submission is complete and that it meets our fest rules and guidelines. If you need any further clarification, do check out our other answers or our carrd at https://monthlyeol.carrd.co, or simply drop us a message! 🧡
hi
i wanna participate and i sign up, but now what? :((
sorry it's my first time doing this :(
Hi there! Thank you so much for signing up with us! We will be sending a confirmation to the email address you provided very soon, and this will include the round details and submission guidelines, so please look out for it in your inboxes! In the meantime, you can already start drawing or writing your piece. This can be a self-prompt (your own idea) or you can choose to DM/email us about claiming one of our prompts (see the archive here: https://tinyurl.com/mcfprompts), and our submissions are due on the 20th at 23:59 KST.
As always, feel free to reach out to us if you need any further clarification or extension, and please stay anonymous until Reveals! We're so so excited to have you on board, and we wish you the best of luck! 🧡
Two questions in one here! Are platonic relationships allowed and OCs? I’ve seen mention of ships mainly, and I don’t mind writing either of these, but I wanted to check first!
Hello, thank you for your question! Yes, platonic relationships, OCs and even Chanyeol-centric fics are allowed! We've had previous submissions of these very pairings and we absolutely treasure them! So long as the work maintains Chanyeol as the central focus, we will accept all forms of pairings. We hope to see you soon! 🍒
I wanna participate for this round but I wanted to be anonymous...
Hi there! That's perfectly acceptable. We can refrain from posting your AO3 username during the reveals and leave the work anonymous, however we still require a form of communication. Not to worry though, as your information will not be shared with anyone. Please feel free to sign up and reach out, we are happy to work with you as an anonymous member of the Monthlyeol family! 🧡
Hi guys♥️ What graphics website do you use?♥️♥️
Canva! 🧡
don't mind me, just bringing an offer to this month's theme https://x.com/Ace_BBH/status/1808894002735034504
Hello!! Thank you for bringing us inspiration!🧡
hii ! if it just involves fixing cars would that still fall under the theme?
Hello! Unfortunately it doesn't quite meet this round's theme, but you could always incorporate fixing cars into motorsports or something similar! 🧡
hi mods! for this round, do motorsports like car/motorcycle racing count as sports too?
Hello! Yes, they do! 🧡
hello, mods. is this round only for "fit, muscled chanyeol" or can it be inclusive and appreciative to the times he was not fit too, like when he is soft with his round belly for example?
Hi there! We're here to appreciate Chanyeol at all times! It's not exclusive. This round is to celebrate his talent and passion for sports. As long as your fic has an athletic setting (surfing, skiing, bowling, going to the gym, etc) and makes Chanyeol the central focus, you're all set!🧡
Hi mods,
Just wanted to send kisses and love beams.I'm a huge fan of how creative you guys are for each round.Thank you everyone for always working hard for this fest.
Wishing you all the best
💋🤗❤️💜💚💙🫂
Thank you so much for the love, anon! We appreciate all our contributors so much, writers, artists, readers... everyone! So we're happy to hear you enjoy our fest, we hope to continue working in the future and keep this fest going with our monthlyeol family🧡🧡
Hi! I might have missed this in the rules section but are contributors allowed to write sequels/new chapters for fics previously submitted to Monthlyeol? (After the round is over, that is)
Yes! You're totally free to do so! 🧡
forgive me if im wrong but im looking for a fic where bh and cy meet at a club and have sex and cy becomes pregnant… i think it was posted in one of your collections? im having trouble finding it… can you help me?
Hi there anon! We tried to find the story you are referencing and unfortunately, it seems the contributor has chosen to lock the story for their own reasons. So sorry we couldn't be more help!
Can you please elaborate on the theme a bit more? It'd be really helpful 🥺
No problem at all, basically like many rounds before this one, this round revolves around a word interpretation. The word for this round is “star”, so however you want to interpret the word for your story is your choice. It can be related to space travel, astrology, idol life, or anything else you can think related to that word. Please let us know if you need any further clarification! 🐯
Happy New year Mods 🎉🥳👏🎉.Can't wait for more chanyeolieee fics for this year.Thank you for your hard work in 2023.Lets stay healthy and work harder for chanyeol and exo as well ♥️🤍

We want to celebrate with everyone in every way we can, because we are so grateful for everyone who supports Chanyeol and our fest. Please stay healthy as well and keep cheering our cherry prince on! Happy New Year! 🧡

no rush, but i was wondering when the next set of tickets will be sent out? im excited to get writing! 🥳
Hi there! We're so excited for you, too! We try not to let our contributors wait for too long, and we've just sent out the latest set of tickets. Please let us know if you still didn't receive it, and we will make sure that you do. Thank you so much for waiting, and good luck! 🧡
Hi! Can i write for monthlyeol without taking any prompts from the archive? I mean I will still use the given ticket but with my own plot? Thank you for answering !
Hi there! You absolutely can. It isn't necessary to claim any prompts for our challenges, but our archive is there for when you ever need some inspiration. Thank you for asking, and good luck! 🧡
Do you have a compilation for the previous round fics??
Hello there! You can find the links to the previous rounds on our carrd at https://monthlyeol.carrd.co/#previous. This includes our AO3 collections and previous fanart submissions, as well as the individual masterthreads of each round. Thank you for leaving this question, and we hope you enjoy looking through them! 🧡
Hi... I'm a little bit confused about round 11... idk what to do to write my fic... can you explain me about how the ticket works?
Hi there! Once you've signed up with us, we will send you an email with a customized ticket. This ticket will contain a total of 9 random tags listed into 3 categories: 3 Alternate Universes (AUs), 3 Relationship Dynamics, and 3 Miscellaneous Tags.
You simply need to decide on 1 AU (eg Omegaverse), 1 Relationship Dynamic (eg Roommates) and 1 Miscellaneous Tag (eg Fluff and Angst) to create your submission. Please use these as your first three tags on AO3 (or Twitter for artists) and feel free to expand on them for your work! For example, the omegaverse AU could include other hybrids or monsters, and the roommates dynamic could be platonic if you prefer a Chanyeol-centric or friendship pairing.
We hope this explains the round mechanics a little further, and please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any other questions! You can also DM or email us if you have any concerns about your unique ticket. We only want this to be as enjoyable for you as it is for us. 🧡
