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: go.go.gomushroom [at] gmail [dot] com.
Pairings you want to write: This time, I want to write Sho/Jun or Sho/Ohno. I can stretch it to Sho/Nino and Sho/Aiba, but perhaps not in romantic setting.
Pairings you don’t want to write: Sho pairing not including any Arashi members.
I would like to write (prompts/genres/kinks etc.): I prefer writing modern setting AU in any kind of permutation that focuses on Arashi.
I would not like to write (prompts/genres/kinks etc.): If it can be avoided I am not willing to write based on canon fic. (AU please). I also don't want to write school/university, heavy historical world building, angst fest, anything with -punk, horror, or futuristic AUs.
Pairings you want in your fic: Sho/Jun (!!!!!!!!!!!) or Sho/Ohno (!!!!)—please allow no restrain to romance their story or even spice their adventure up. Both pairings are my favorites. I'll also be happy with Sho/Nino story if that's your thing. :D
Pairings you do not want: I would prefer to not receive Sho/Aiba story this time.
What do you want to receive (situations/kinks/genres):
I'm generally up for romance and comedy. Everyday life aspects in any way is highly appreciated. Sometimes life is mundane and complicated--clue in the story from here. I like any AU involving travel--changing places (that means travel writing, magic travel, time travel, space travel, travel channel and many more endless possibilities), involving service (be it food service, web service, escort service, again, and many more endless possibilities), and involving television/film/camera work (game show, film production team, photography agency).
Random trope/universe that I enjoy: subtle magick in modern everyday universe, office life, police/detective, royal family, dull salarymen at day and kinky sex at night, and magical gender-bending and cross dressing (if that’s your thing). Or any other AU that is not in my not to write list that you enjoy writing, I am sure I'll enjoy it too. :D
I love Sho who is not only one sidedly cool and composed but also short-tempered; Sho who can be silly at times but is very exact in his work, Sho who is awkward and serious but also know how to have wild and crazy fun, or; Sho who works hard and party equally hard. I love Sho and food, Sho and his meticulous crazy planning, Sho and his big heart, Sho and his sinful lips, and Sho and his ass looking mighty fine even with the lamest sweatpants. I also love Jun’s ‘Sho-san’ and Sho’s ‘Satoshi-kun’.
Please include all Arashi in the fic; aside from the pairing of your choosing, even in a minimal role if you cannot include them in the plot. I also, this time, would prefer to have minimum cameos of other Johnny’s, Japanese actor/actress/talent/comedian. I specifically love unconventional fic or a piece that's not limiting its linear form/narrative to the usual. I do have soft spot for Steampunk if it's your thing. And, porn is totally more than okay; if you ever need a long and detailed kinks list, I'm an ask away.
What do you not like to receive (situations/kinks/genres): This time, I don't want crossover fic, or fic involving major role OC, or heavy angst. No highschool/university/teacher-student AU, no post-apocalyptic and dystopia, and no canon Arashi chibi days. Also no to fic involving non-con, mpreg, drug use, rape, gore, horror elements. Avoid first person POV if you can. No sad things without resolution and characters death (just keep everyone alive in the story, plz).
Preferred rating (written and received): I’ll write any rating. If possible, I would love to have anything higher than just PG, or at least a story that features kisses.
Could you pinch-hit?: Maybe, ask me later?
Could you beta?: No.
Anything else you want to say? 💕 (and I might have forgotten some bits; if you need more, dear writer, just ask the mods to contact me)
