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: Ideally, Sakumoto, Sakumiya; Sho-centric gen is good too. Actually, gen is fine too, as long as all the arashi members are there.
Pairings you don’t want to write: Sho/anyone else out of Arashi
I would like to write (prompts/genres/kinks etc.): Work AUs, fluff, hurt/comfort, romance, AUs etc. I'd write a lot of things except what's stated below:
I would not like to write (prompts/genres/kinks etc.): genderbends, non-con, character death, angst that cannot be turned into h/c or fluff, drama-based fics, mpreg, jerk!Sho, jerk!anyone in arashi actually, infidelity, beastiality, abo dynamics, high school AUs, paranormal (i.e. ghost, vampires, werewolves)
Pairings you want in your fic: Sakumoto, Sakumiya (in order of preference. Really. Sakumoto is my OTP)
Pairings you do not want: Yama. (I don't see it)
What do you want to receive (situations/kinks/genres): I'd really like AUs, and here are just some prompts/ideas I have:
- Daemon!AU (I want to read a daemon based fic SO bad, you don't understand.) Any setting is okay, but with daemons.
>> Just some background info: a daemon refer to the external physical manifestation of an individuals' inner self as basically, a companion animal. I would leave which animal being a representation of whichever band member to the author's discretion. I love seeing how people interpret characters.
>> In typical daemon!verse, there is a taboo on other people touching other's daemon - especially, without permission, or unless they trust the other person with their soul, effectively.
>> In addition to the above point, you can harm someone just by harming their daemon, which is why most people are very protective of their (soul).
- Work AUs! For example:
>> Bookstore
>> Florist
>> Librarian
>> University Professor
>> Star Trek. (I'm not even kidding)
M pretty happy with anything really. Smut scenes are totally okay with me (I mean, have you seen what I write? LOL)
What do you not like to receive (situations/kinks/genres): More or less what I would not like to write, actually; therefore:
genderbends, non-con, character death, angst that cannot be turned into h/c or fluff, drama-based fics, mpreg, jerk!Sho, jerk!anyone in arashi actually, infidelity, beastiality, abo dynamics, high school AUs, paranormal (i.e. ghost, vampires, werewolves)
Preferred rating (written and received): I'm flexible for either. I'd like receiving NC17, but whichever the writer is comfortable with, really.
Could you pinch-hit?: Nope, sorry.
Could you beta?: Nope, sorry.
Anything else you want to say? Nyan.
