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: deshantoree@hotmail.com
Pairings you want to write: Any Sho pairings but Sakumoto. Best at Sakuraiba. Have written Yamapair and Shox Ikuta toma. Have never written Sakumiya but okay to try
Pairings you don’t want to write: Sakumoto. I will cry buckets of tears
I would like to write (prompts/genres/kinks etc.): Not looking to write anything too raunchy atm. Can't write horror. Will write anything else
I would not like to write (prompts/genres/kinks etc.): Horror. sex/orgy centred fics (but can write sexual/risque scenes just not focused on this)
Pairings you want in your fic: Sakuraiba or Yamapair or ShoxToma. Sakumiya and Shox Okada and Shox Yokoyama Yuu is okay (You can do side pairings of choice)
Pairings you do not want: Sakumoto. Please no Sakumoto
What do you want to receive (situations/kinks/genres): Oooooooh
I really like oblivious!Sho. I see him as a very sincere/ hard working/ tries his best kind of guy but he is unintentionally dense and uncaring towards others feelings. This is why I like Sakuraiba so much. I think Aiba is the only person with enough patience and selflessness to deal with Sho's incessant need to please everyone and conform.
The reason why I gave all that meta is because: I would like a fic where Sho is hurting his to be partner (Aiba fits this headcanon of mine better but pick whoever other than Jun) with his no homo oblivious bullshit. Kind of stringing them on. Accidental asshole!Sho LOL
slow Sakuraiba romance in cliche situations - HS AU, neighbours, falls in love online and knows each other in real life but doesn't know they are in love with each other, unhappily married neighbors start fucking then in love???
With Ohno some situation where Sho is nerdy/shy and the other brings them out of their shell. I see them as being long term BFFs before either of them realizes LOL. Can be HS AU or work buddies. Maybe they work as PA artist or gallery owner + artist and Sho is running around getting Ohno to do his work instead of fishing.
A future fic. Post Arashi break up???? (sorry to put this thought in your head but it happened to SMAP so be prepared ???). This can be serious or like total crack???? Like Sho is somehow the PM and then appoints all of Arashi as his cabinet/advisors/Secretary of X (I'm not sure of Japanese government structure). He appoints Ohno head of transportation and suddenly Ohno comes with a giant budget for a billion new harbors and Nino is kind of sort of starting a war cause he's bored (bonus points if you make fun of America).
Any crack fic following the above format with Sho as commander in chief and the rest making his life terrifying.
Pimp!Sho - like if you're good at writing smut. Go for it with like smutty goodness.
What do you not like to receive (situations/kinks/genres): Horror. Not picky. Your words on my screen are a blessing ands gift so thank you.
Preferred rating (written and received):
Written: PG-13 but I will go higher if the story/prompter calls for it. I generally avoid the sex when I can but I write the sex so no worries.
Received: Has to be at least PG-13 (or higher if you can)? Some kissing? Kissing is cute unless you choose the commander/PM Sho prompt and there is no romantic pairing then G/PG is okay
Could you pinch-hit?: No.
Could you beta?: Yes
Anything else you want to say? Thanks!
