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 :)

14/12/16 22:03 (UTC)Fic Journal/Archive: fanfic master post (http://sky-fish7.livejournal.com/27219.html)
Email: sky_fish@hotmail.de (attention please, not .com but .de)
Pairings you want to write: Sakumiya or if this is not possible, Yama is OK too I guess (argh sorry if I make it difficult but I really do have my preferences for Sho here >.<")
Pairings you DON'T want to write: Definitely no Sakumoto or Sakuraiba. Sorry.
I would like to write (prompts/genres/kinks etc.):
I think I'm fine with every genre? AU is preferred over in-the-band-stories, though.
I would NOT like to write (prompts/genres/kinks etc.):
- M-preg, gender switch, cheating, gang bang, three- or moresomes, plotless smut and all that stuff
- Unhappy endings (dramalama before a happy ending is totally fine and appreciated)
- Main character death
- Crossovers for fandoms that I don't know
Pairings you want in your fic: Sakumiya please! Or if this is REALLY not possible, Yama is OK too. I'd love to see a side pairing, I love Junba, Juntoshi, Ohno x Aragaki Yui or Jun x Inoue Mao (or Aimiya if it's Yama) for example.
Pairings you do NOT want: Sakumoto or Sakuraiba; as side pairings please also no Ohmiya or Matsumiya
What do you want to receive (situations/kinks/genres):
I prefer AUs over in-the-band-stories but I'm fine with both.
I like twisted, complicated characters and feelings, dramatic twists, bitter sweet love stories, stories about friends becoming more or rivals becoming lovers.
I love Sho being the smart but also slightly dumb/dorky one with a cute, clumsy side and a loving for travelling, food and music. I love Nino smart and quick-witted, humorous, teasing (but not too bratty), passionate about job and hobbies, generally nice but not exactly sociable with people.
I LOVE KISSES, so be romantic, be creative <3
I like mystery, thriller, detective stories, work AUs, college AUs, stories about creative people, whatever, with some romance. ^^
Including cats, flowers, coffee shops or book stores in one way or the other will earn you a big bonus since I love them. However, whatever it will be, I need a happy ending please.
I'm happy if you include other Johnny's as side characters (especially Okada Junichi, Miyake Ken, Koyama Keiichiro, Kato Shigeaki, Ohkura Tadayoshi, Yasuda Shota or Takizawa Hideaki) or diverse Japanese actors/actresses (I like a lot of them).
Here some ideas for prompts if needed (but really, NO obligation to fill them, just in case you cannot come up with an own idea, then maybe this gives you inspiration ^^ btw, I'm "re-using" my prompts here because I'm horribly lazy)
- Detective/police AU: Nino as a genius detective, Sho either as his client or opponent
- Dorama-crossover: Yoshimoto-sensei (Kazoku Game) meets Aoshi-sensei (Yowakutemo Katemasu) or Tamura Katsuhiro the law student (Tokujou Kabachi) meets Ariake Koichi (Ryusei no Kizuna) the swindler, something set in Yamada Taro universe is always nice too (I love Mimutaro).
- Work AU: Sho being a workaholic but overworked office worker (high position) who meets Nino/Ohno, a free lancer artist (Novelist? Mangaka? Musician?) every day at the train station or by passing him in a nearby park and is highly fascinated by him. One day Sho, offers the artist money in exchange for a date and he accepts
- Fantasy/Horror AU: something supernatural-like with the characters being supernatural creatures or hunting supernatural creatures or having some special powers would be interesting too. (I love series like Supernatural, Fringe or Ghost Whisperer for example)
What do you NOT like to receive (situations/kinks/genres):
Same as above under what I do not want to write.
Preferred rating (written and received): everything's fine, to receive NC-17 would be a big bonus of course
Could you pinch-hit?: No
Could you beta?: Yes
Anything else you want to say? Please forward my warm greetings to Sho. I promise to help making him the happiest birthdayboy ever <3
