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: May I PM you?
Pairings you want to write: Yama, or Sho/Okada Junichi. I can also do OT3s (Sho/Nino/Jun, Sho/Ohno/Jun, Sho/Ohno/Aiba, Sho/Nino/Ohno) or OT5 if necessary, but I prefer the two pairings I mentioned.
Pairings you don’t want to write: Sho/female, Sakumoto, Sakuraiba.
I would like to write (prompts/genres/kinks etc.): Romance, happy fics, fantasy, conflicts with resolution, misunderstandings, AUs, non AUs.
I would not like to write (prompts/genres/kinks etc.): High school AU, character death, mpreg, heavy angst, sad or bittersweet endings, dubcon, noncon, no strict seme/uke dynamics, major power differences and age differences, and underage sex.
Pairings you want in your fic: Yama and Sho/Okada Junichi.
Pairings you do not want: What I don’t want to write.
What do you want to receive (situations/kinks/genres):
Yama:
- AU where Yama owns a bakery and Sho tries to create a new flavor as a surprise for Ohno.
-Office AU where Sho is Ohno’s new assistant.
-AU where Yama meet during a fishing trip. They keep meeting at the same place, but they don’t ever contact each other when they’re gone. Bonus if one of them complains constantly about his bad relationship, while the other has a crush on him.
-Ohno is a country bumpkin. Sho is a city boy. They fall in love. (I would loveeeee to see this one be written~)
-AU where Ohno has to look after Sho because he’s sick (nothing too bad, please! Just a cold or sth).
Sho/Okada (Bottom Sho please):
-Office AU where Sho is the new employee and Okada is his boss. Said boss likes to bother him every chance he gets.
-Non-AU fic where Okada has been trying to get Sho to date him ever since they were in KCE.
-AU where Sho and Okada live together in a very snowy place. Please make Okada force Sho to play on the snow/start a snow fight out of a sudden.
-Okada is a god assigned to look after Sho. Sho thinks he's a stalker.
-Sho’s parents just informed him of his arranged marriage. Okada is his fiancé. Sho hates the idea, but Okada is very into him and will do anything to seduce him. (I would loveeee to see this one be written if possible~)
If you like one prompt but want to write it for the other pair, please feel free to do so! If none of these prompts work for you, I would love to receive a love story with a happy ending. :D
What do you not like to receive (situations/kinks/genres): Same as what I don’t want to write.
Preferred rating (written and received): NC-17 for both, but I’m good with anything.
Could you pinch-hit?: No
Could you beta?: No
Anything else you want to say?: I’m happy to be able to participate in a second exchange! :D
