prompts pretty please?

I am bored at work. And reading uni AUs. And now I want to write one. But my draft of Hoya & Sungjong's installment of the toaster 'verse is at home on my laptop, so I need PROMPTS. Tell me what kpop uni AUs I should be writing. Help meeeeeeeee.

[eta] Special request: some horribly traumatizing way for Sungyeol and Ellin to meet.

They are seriously all so wonderful, but I know if I started writing any of them they'd end up being at least 50K words and I'm still not done with CM yet and I just can't commit to another project that long at this point. WHY DOES EVERYTHING I WRITE HAVE TO BE SO LONG? SO FRUSTRATING.

Why not take this opportunity for a writing exercise? Try limiting yourself to 100 words - or just three sentences (my personal favorite) and see what kind of worldbuilding/atmosphere you can cram into a small amount of words.

Like - really, really push yourself to tell a story in as small of a space as possible.

Or write only one scene/chapter from right in the middle/near the end - see what happens when you let go of all the build-up and just give yourself the space for one small moment to explore things.
