What is that?

 

basically it's like an event where you write what type of story you want to write and what you want to receive and the mod assigns you a recipient and you write for them (and they assign you to someone). 

 

"In an exchange of fannish works, frequently called a ficathon when fan fiction is exchanged, when participants sign up they provide both a request (specifying the nature of the fanwork they would like to receive: medium, genrepairing(s) or characters, rating, and possibly a prompt) and details about the kind of fanwork they are willing to provide.

The mods assign a recipient to each participant, who must produce a fanwork meeting their recipient's request by a deadline. Usually the participants are required to work in secret, not revealing whose request they have received until after their assignment has been completed and the finished fanworks have been posted. If a fan is unable to complete her assignment, a pinch-hitter may be assigned.

Nearly any type of fanwork might be the subject for an exchange, including fanfictionfanartvidsmetaessays, and concrit."

Yes, check out Chenpionships, it's on-going.

 

I've seen general fic exchanges and such as a free-for-all kind of thing. Lots of crack ship. 

 

that's cool! When i used to read kpop fanfics i have never seen a fanfic exchange. Guess it's changed :lol: or I just never noticed...

Yup, and they write a story you (hopefully) request :) Deadlines are usually a month to three? Depends how generous mods are :lol:

Ohhhhhh that's quite a while ago. I did a quick check for SHINee and yeah most weren't around then. Interesting. Fic exchanges were always a thing in fandoms I used to be in before kpop so I always assumed they'd exist for everything else :lol:

Sounds like an interesting concept and a good writing exercise. I find it fascinating that a lot of famous authors got their start in writing fanfics to help them build their own characters. And I don't even read them, but I've across more than a few and they were gooood. Like I would give you my money good.

Yess there's a lot on tumblr and livejournal. I think last month there is a big Shinee fic exchange events on tumblr and livejournal, Shinee bigbang, lots of good long fics.

 

Each Shinee pairings also have their own fic exchange events, usually small weekly events or monthly on tumblr.
