MONTHLY CHANYEOL FEST
We are a fest that focuses on work centered around EXO's Park Chanyeol. Every round, we present writers and artists with a different theme to challenge their creativity. We hope you join!
Until Sign Ups Close...
LUCKY ONE
His pockets are heavy. Fooling everyone at the table was easy. Chanyeol takes a look at his cards holding back a smirk. He meets the dark, savage eyes of the man across the table. He'd been chasing money when he crashed the warehouse like he owned the place. Chanyeol tilts his head, poker chips rain down to the floor. There are other thrills to chase.Welcome to Round 14: Lucky One! For this round we ask that all works explore the idea of getting โluckyโ in gambling, crime, or bets of any kind. So long as you explore the darker underbelly of luck, youโll definitely hit the lotto with your piece! Feel free to use any AU necessary, whether your story exists in a college where students place a nefarious bet, a crime syndicate with dangerous intentions, or a down-trodden man who plays the lotto and wings big. Anything is possible, even winning the lottery, when Park Chanyeol is around!Please note: although this theme is darker, you must still comply with all guidelines that our fest promotes. This means that although works in this round may contain violence, blood, gore, explicit sexual content, and depictions of illegal actions, the monthlyeol family remains firm on its intentions to maintain high standards with content within our fest. Please tag appropriately for any and all things you may find triggering to others.This will be a two month round, so you will have extra time to get your bets in before submitting it to our collection.

RULES AND GUIDELINES
Please read and follow all rules while participating in our fest. If you do not follow the rules, you will be asked to change your fic or your fic may not be included in the collection.01. This fest is all about Chanyeol! Anything you write for our fest should include Chanyeol as a main character or part of the main ship.
02. Please stay anonymous until reveals. You may share your fic with your beta-reader, but please don't spoil the fun by posting about what fic you wrote before reveals.
03. Plagiarism is prohibited.
04. Although there are no rules against them on ao3 in general, MCF does not accept AI-generated fics into our collections. This means you cannot use ChatGPT or any other AI to write your fic for you. Using software that can aid in editing, such as Grammarly, is allowed as long as you, the author, have written the fic. If we find that a fic has been written by an AI, we will remove it from our collection.
05. Non-con, beastiality, incest and pedophillia are prohibited. If you are unsure what falls under these terms, you may send us a DM or an Ask on our Retrospring.
06. The minimum word count is 500 words and we have no maximum word count.
07. Your fic can be a stand-alone or can be a sequel/prequel to or spinoff of any of your fics as long as it can stand on its own. If you write a sequel/prequel or spinoff, please do not link it to the original fic until after reveals.
08. We encourage diversity! Any Chanyeol ship is allowed, even people from other groups or other celebrities. Gender-bending is also allowed.
09. Your fic must not include Kris Wu or Lucas Wong, even as a mention.
10. You can write as many fics for each round as you like (of course, they must match the theme) but you must finish and submit your first fic before you sign-up to write another. If you wish to write an additional fic once you finish your first fic, please DM us to let us know.
11. If you would like to claim a prompt, please DM us, letting us know you'd like to write it.
12. Life happens. If you need an extension, please fill out our extension form. If you still need more time, please DM us. Sometimes, you may have to drop out and that's ok. If you are unable to finish on time, we will retweet and QRT any fics you want to post afterward that were written for our rounds.
MEET THE MODS
Mod ๐ฏ : She/They, GMT-5
drops into frame Hello there! It's me, Chanyeol's biggest fan! Just kidding... maybe. I've been with EXO since their debut, so I guess you can call me Grandma. My favorite Chanyeol ships are ChanKai, ChanBaek, and SeChan. As a writer, Chanyeol is the main character of my whole life, and I guess yours too!Mod ๐ฆ : She/Her, GMT-5
I'm just here to support the bestest, cutest boy, Park Chanyeol. I love his attitude about life and find him very inspiring. I write Chanyeol mainly because I relate to him a lot. There are a lot of great Chanyeol ships out there, but ChanKai will always be number one in my heart.Mod ๐ : She/Her, GMT+8
Hello! Just like our Chanyeollie, I hope this fest brings you Happiness Delight. I've been a fan of EXO since the Wolf days, and it feels as though I've grown up alongside them this past decadeโboth as a person and a writer. I'm proud of just how much Chanyeol's achieved, and I would love to celebrate that through this fest with you! Mod ๐ธ : She/They, GMT-8
Hi! I've loved Chanyeol since I saw his cute ears and perm more than ten years ago, I haven't looked back since. He inspires every day! Writing about him is the most fun one can have and while I enjoy many ships like ChanChen and SuYeol, ChanKai is my dearest love.Mod ๐ฅ : She/Her, GMT-8
Hi! I love Chanyeol. That's it. Just kidding hehe. I have been a fan of EXO for quite a while now, and my favourite Chanyeol ships are ChanKai, ChanChen, and SeChan, but I really love all of them. I absolutely love to write Chanyeol, so I really wanted to start this fest!
