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: SakuMiya and SakurAiba (no preference here), I can wite past! Keiko x Sho as well^^
Pairings you don’t want to write: SakuMoto and Yama
I would like to write (prompts/genres/kinks etc.): I'm pretty much okay with any rating as well an genres. I think I am best at writing AU but I can write Arashi as Arashi as well^^ Other than that, I'll write you everything except the below^^
I would not like to write (prompts/genres/kinks etc.): I don't want to write any threesomes or OT5 stories as well as anything containing BDSM, violence, angst (I can do a bit thought), character death, genderswitch, mpreg, abuse, incest, crossdressing, cheating and rape.
Pairings you want in your fic: SakurAiba or SakuMiya, JunToshi as side is very much appreciated or AiMoto (if you don't need Aiba in the main pairing^^) I am all fine with AibaxToma too. Gakki and Ohno is a really cute combination as well XD
Pairings you do not want: Yama and SakuMoto! Also, as side, no OhMiya or OhBa please!
What do you want to receive (situations/kinks/genres):
I would love you forever if you could write me a romantic, cute and fluffy story. I really, REALLY would love some skinship (up to NC-17 scenes), but please, make them at least kiss each other (and this preferably long LOL).
I am nearly into all scenes and genres, but I love to read school AU (Arashi as teachers, not students though), Yakuza/crime themes, I am fine with them being vampires, wizards, dragon hunters or elves. Also, anything magical is very much aprreciated as is Space AU XD Oh, and I figured out that I like these kind of forced relationships like "Faking a relationship or marriage for some reason" <3
Regarding Sho, I love every part of him, but mostly the shape of his lips and his deep voice. Also, his (naked) back is gorgeous. I like his interest in English as well as his love for travelling and soccer. Sho as a coach or Soccer Player or anything like that would be fun to read. Also, Sho as newscaster or moderator is something I favour a lot, but you can also put him into the role as butler (Kageyama OMG!) or host, yakuza boss, minister, head teacher, stripper... just let your imagination run wild^^
I don't have any specific ideas or prompts for you, I'm sorry, but I hope you can come up with something^^;
What do you not like to receive (situations/kinks/genres):
I will list all people that I don't want to appear in my story here cause I am pretty specific with this^^;
- Rola
- Matsuko Deluxe
- Ayame Goriki (or something alike)
- Horikita Maki
- Sawajiri Erika
- Arimura Kasumi
- Tacky
- any Johnny's member except for Kazama Shunsuke, V6, Toma, Pi and Kanjani
- Yoshitaka Yuriko
Also, please don't make any member smoke or take drugs or drink too much alcohol.
I don't want to read violence, BDSM, sex without content, crossdressing, genderswitch, mpreg, character death, cheating, threesomes, incest or abuse. Please, don't make the story angsty. I bit angst is okay as long as there is a Happy End! Really, please, make it a HAPPY END!!!
Furthermore, I don't want to receive a story just about sex. I am all fine with NC-17 scenes, but there has to be some plot behind it^^
Preferred rating (written and received): I'm fine with all ratings^^
Could you pinch-hit?: No
Could you beta?: No
Anything else you want to say? Thank you for finally organizing such an event! Also, thanks for doing it <3
