Seventeen Holidays
2025 Round: Quotes


About

"the poem begins not where the knife enters, but where the blade twists"

"beauty is terror"

"you'll just have to taste me, when he's kissing you"

Calling all readers, lovers of poetry and music, screen and stage. Quote collecters and lyric hoarders, unleash your archive. For this round, every prompt must contain a quote - you can combine them, add commentary, link to articles, do whatever. Steal from a literary classic, or copy a hit tweet.


🛑 HOLD UP

If this is your first time on 17hols please check out our About Page which has helpful information about dreamwidth and HTML. We are a prompting fest where all the action happens in the comment section.



Rules
  • Sign up is not required.
  • Fills have a minimum of 400 words for prose, haiku-length for poetry (3 lines), and 400px by 400px for art (memes are also art). Other mediums are fine too!
  • There is no maximum cap.
  • Tag and provide content warnings at your discretion, but a good guide are the Ao3 four (Graphic Depictions of Violence, Major Character Death, Rape/Non-Con, Underage) and this list of common CWs (cr: SportsFest).
  • NSFW/Explicit content should be tagged
  • NSFW art should not be visible, please provide a link and a warning. You may crop the artwork and embed a SFW preview.

Filling
  1. Reply to the original prompt;
  2. You must change the subject to [FILL] - this is to help the mods track. Feel free to add a title

    You may also upload your fill to the AO3 Collection.

Remixing
  1. Post as a reply to the fill you are remixing, using the same HTML as above;
  2. Change the subject to [REMIX].
Art/media
  1. Upload your work to any platform (twitter, imgur, youtube, soundcloud, google maps, etc.)
  2. Using the same HTML code as above, copy the link into your fill or remix. That's it!
  3. Optionally, you can embed a picture into your comment. Please use the following code instead.

    (To explain, the HTML resizes your picture to 400x400px so that it fits on most screens. Users can view the full size if they click on it. You can also add a link to your work on twitter so that others can share it, or to any other website you want)

Note!
On dreamwidth, you can't edit a comment once someone has replied to it.

thank u so much for reading and for this incredibly kind comment! i'm so glad you felt baited in so many different ways >:D i love how u worded this, "the moment she could say something to Seungcheol to keep her, is the moment she also realises that she's going to lose her," and your ability to observe and reframe mundane interactions so poetically is one of the things i rly admire about your writing! i'm taking notes bc i am still very much an inexperienced writer so it's cool and instructive to hear how other people reflect my writing back to me.

and yjh really is torturing herself with those last words. basically the only ones i have her say in the entire fic (lol this is also bc i can't write dialogue!!) but i wanted to show that the only condition under which she lets herself say something true is by acting flippant about it, "you are saying it is a joke even though you aren't joking" type beat...
