EXOnce Upon A Time originated as a fic fest dedicated to the tales of our childhood, centring mainly around fairytales and folk tales, but has now been expanded to include fanart as well. We accept all retellings, both traditional and non-traditional. Come fill our treasure vault with the tales of your childhood!

What are we about?
~ A fic and fanart fest dedicated to the stories of our childhood.

What defines childhood tales?
~ Classic Disney fairytales, folk tales from any country and others are accepted.

What pairings are accepted?
~ All pairings are welcome! We are an OT12 fest!

Can I combine stories?
~ Yes, of course! We welcome and encourage fairytale mashups!

~ This is an EXO centric fest so all pairings must involve current or past EXO members.

~ Remain ANONYMOUS throughout the fest until reveals. So no matter how excited you are, keep your lips sealed and your fic between you and your beta!

~ The minimum word count is 500 words. The sky is the limit when it comes to the maximum so go wild!

~ No graphic depictions of rape. Dub-con and pedophilia are also not allowed. Past rape flashbacks are allowed as long as they are not graphic and are tagged clearly.

~ Because this is our villain edition. ALL content is free game as long as they are TAGGED clearly. If you are unsure, tag it.

~ All triggering content must be clearly tagged especially any graphic descriptions of violence, blood, gore and major character death. We are very strict on this and will personally skim through ALL fics to make sure they are safe for our readers.
