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 :)

Pairings you want to write: In order of preference: Sakumoto, Sakumiya, Yama, any OT3 combo in Arashi with Sho (maybe)
Pairings you don’t want to write: Romantic Sakuraiba, het as the main pair, Sho with other J&A groups I don’t know much about, drama/movie characters
I would like to write (prompts/genres/kinks etc.): Preferably AUs, but should it be Sakumoto, I think I can work on anything based on RL as well. I’d prefer to get a list of prompts than be given freedom to do as I wished.
I would not like to write (prompts/genres/kinks etc.): Anything that has abuse (even a brief mention of it, be it physical/mental/emotional/etc), magic-related AUs, soulmates, vampires and werewolves, ANYTHING school-related (college/high school AUs, absolutely no Narratage-like AUs), drama-based fic, crossdressing, purely fluff, crack/humor, anything with conflicting social classes or age differences, mpreg, genderswap, anything set in junior/pre-debut era, love triangles, Arashi as siblings, everything in my ‘would not like to receive’.
Pairings you want in your fic: In order of preference: Sakumoto, Yama, Sakumiya, Sho/Jun/Nino, Sho/Jun/Aiba, Sho/Ishihara Satomi. Sho and his friendships with other people, if included, would really make me happy (Tsumabuki Satoshi, Mizukawa Asami, etc)
Pairings you do not want: Romantic Sakuraiba, Sho with any J&A idol I’m not familiar with, MaoJun as a side pairing. Het side pairs are fine, but please have the mod contact me first in case you’re planning to insert actresses somewhere. I’d rather have people I know in the story.
What do you want to receive (situations/kinks/genres): I prefer AUs but if that doesn’t work, anything based on RL would be equally appreciated. I’m always interested in other people’s take on the Arashi dynamics.
Some AU prompts:
- The Tourist AU with Sho as Frank
- The Man from U.N.C.L.E. AU
- Any space AU
- Sho in a witness protection program that will inevitably lead to a fake relationship
- Jun and Aiba are spy partners tasked to babysit VIP Sakurai Sho as punishment for a mishap in one of their previous missions
- Sho and Jun are astronauts on the moon (like that Non-no shoot), and a new astronaut comes along
- Sho as a travel blogger who takes terrible photos for his blog posts/Sho having an instagram
- Sho as the precise but annoying tour guide and Jun as the unsuspecting tourist who only wanted to have a good time
- The Island AU (warnings for cloning and organ harvesting if you haven’t seen this film)
- Ohno doing latte art in a cafe with Sho as his admirer (points if Sho's lack of artistic inclinations is mentioned)
- The Young Victoria AU with Jun as Victoria, Sho as Albert (or vice versa)
- Edge of Tomorrow AU with Jun as Rita Vrataski
- ShoJun Cantabile (aka the Orchestra no Arashi Non-no)
Other things I enjoy:
- the nicknames Sho has
- Sho’s (terrible but adorable) selfies, his love for food, his incognito segment in Shiyagare
- Sho’s laughs, acrophobia, drawing skills, fashion sense (fake jeans, gray sweats, double parka), piano-playing
- Sho sending his selfies to people, him sending funny photos/videos in their LINE group
- anything about the Aimiya Yakai and/or the Juntoshi Yakai
- takoyaki bros. in The Digitalian
- the Lady Gaga concert, Sakumoto bar sighting, Sakumoto in Johnny’s World
- Sho’s lesson for this year’s WWG (the one about constellations)
- anything related to training camp
- getting together stories
- pining (especially if mutual, huge no if unrequited)
- fake/pretend relationships
- sci-fi/post apocalyptic/futuristic AUs

10/12/16 15:06 (UTC)Preferred rating (written and received): As high as you and I can go. If in need of a kink list, just ask.
Could you pinch-hit?: Maybe? Ask :)
Could you beta?: No
Anything else you want to say?
