shoexchangeFellow Arashians:
Last week we shared with you a message about the situation at Sakurai-san's campaign's headquarters. Things have been looking up since then (Sakurai-san is no longer gobbling down cheesecake after cheesecake, something his stylist appreciates very much), especially after the poll's results came in this morning (thanks to everyone who took the time to read and vote!)
Sakurai-san sent us this picture after we informed him about the numbers:
We believe it's safe to say that he's very excited about the news. That or someone was grabbing his butt, we do not know. In any case, just this announcement got him in an splendid mood. He's even rehearsing his speech again!
So, without further ado...
It is the first time for our team to organize an event of this type! We hope that by doing this, we can give Sakurai-san the encouragement he needs to continue focusing both on his work as an Arashi member and on hisworld domination political ambitions.
On our last brainstorming session, we discussed some points which we want to recapitulate here:
- Due to limited time, the exchange's schedule has been arranged like this:
Sign-ups: December 9th, 2016 - December 15th, 2016
Assignments sent by: December 18th, 2016
Deadline: February 7th, 2017. (For those requiring a beta-reader, the deadline is on January 31st, 2017)
Posting starts on: February 14th, 2017
Reveals: A week after the last fic has been posted.
As you can see, posting won't start on Sakurai-san's birthday. He did give us his approval to move it to Valentine's Day (he was a bit reluctant and embarrassed at first though). We understand that everyone is not on the same time zone, therefore we will be following GMT time for this exchange.
- We have decided that all fics must have a minimum of 2000 words. After some discussions, our staff members decided that a word limit won't be necessary.
- There will still be an activity on January 25th to celebrate Sakurai-san's birthday. Details will be discussed later.
- We have a post dedicated exclusively to the exchange's rules, which you can read HERE. For your convenience, we will sum them up below (although we recommend that you check that post to avoid inconveniences):
1. Fics must be Sho-centric.
2. Each participant must include at least two ROMANTIC pairings that include Sho in the "want to read/write" sections of their application. This is MANDATORY.
3. Fics must be at least 2000 words long.
4. Write in good, readable English.
5. Fics must be beta-read before being submitted. (If you need a beta, let us know as soon as possible so that we can help you!)
6. Include all html tags when submitting the fic.
7. Do not break anonymity or post your fic elsewhere before reveals.
8. Please do your best to write what your recipient requested!
9. Follow the schedule, and contact us if you need an extension/to drop out (preferably at least a week before the deadline).
10. HAVE FUN!
Now that the rules are out of the way, let's get to the fun part! Please fill out this form to the best of your ability so that we can consider you to join our event:
We are looking forward to hearing from you! :D
Yours,
-CJ & CN, Sakurai Sho's Campaign Managers.
SIGN UPS ARE NOW CLOSED!
Thank you :)

Email: learashi1000@gmail.com
Pairings you want to write: Sakumoto (please, please please), Sakumiya, (can possibly do Sakuraiba as well if you twist my arm hard enough)
Pairings you don’t want to write: Yama (never going to happen)
I would like to write (prompts/genres/kinks etc.): I will do my best to write anything except as below.
I would not like to write (prompts/genres/kinks etc.): Sci fi, genderswitch, fantasy, horror, gore, drama character tie-ins
Pairings you want in your fic: Sakumoto (pretty please? I will love you forever if this happens), Sakumiya
Pairings you do not want: Yama (No, no, a thousand times no)
What do you want to receive (situations/kinks/genres): Trying to be helpful, here are some ideas, but I'm happy with anything really if these don't inspire.
Sho and Jun are in a relationship, but Sho treats him badly. After Jun has had enough and leaves him, Sho tries to win him back.
Nino is trying to pimp Sho out to his friends because he thinks he needs to get laid more often, but Sho is waiting for Nino to notice that it's him that he likes.
Sho owns a restaurant and Jun is the chef. Sho keeps trying to come up with new menu ideas which are instantly shot down. (Lots of unresolved sexual tension - preferably followed by lots of sex)
Sho is a skiing instructor with two new students, Jun and Nino. (ot3?)
What do you not like to receive (situations/kinks/genres): Genderswitch, gore, horror, drama character tie-ins
Preferred rating (written and received): Preferably NC-17 for both, but I will accept whatever my author/recipient is comfortable with.
Could you pinch-hit?: No, sorry
Could you beta?: No, sorry
Anything else you want to say? It's like a supernova next to the door.
