Below you'll find the sign-up form. If you want to change/add something after, please edit or answer to your own original comment. Don't make a new comment thread. Also, we advise you to be as detailed as possible, so your assigned writer will have more options to choose from. We also remind you to state AT LEAST TWO Arashi pairings in your sign-up.

Pairings I want to receive: My favorite romantic pairings are Sho/Jun and Ohno/Aiba (in that order). For a third alternative, Sho/Ohno. And if you like writing Nino pairings, then Nino/Aiba (they're also my favorite friendship pairing).
Pairings I DO NOT want to receive: Anything not mentioned above.

What I would like to read (prompts, kinks, genres, etc.):
I love AUs of all kinds! And I need a happy ending for all Arashi members, but I don't mind getting some angst along the way (just don't go overboard with it). I'm okay with sex scenes, even graphic ones, but I don't want a story that revolves around sex only. I'm way more into seeing how the relationship develops outside of it.

Settings I'd be excited to read:
-Soulmate AUs.
-Magical realism AUs (as in this world is like ours, but sometimes magical stuff happens here/supernatural beings appear and everyone accepts it as normal).
-Someone is a deity among humans (if Sho, make him a love deity. If Nino, make him mess with everyone else's lives).
-Someone as an accidental matchmaker for his friends (preferably Nino, and preferably if everything is completely unplanned, but he takes all credit for the relationships in the end. Alternatively: Sho, but he struggles to find love for himself).
-Sho/Jun + Friends to Enemies/Rivals to Lovers.
-Two people meet. Then some time passes without them hearing from each other, then they meet again, then they don't hear about each other for a while... and so on, until something happens and they decide to stay in each other's lives.
-Ohno/Aiba + Enemies/Rivals to Lovers. I think I've never read this, so it'd be super cool, lol. (And if you have Sho/Jun as a side pairing, that'd be perfect).
-Aiba as an evil mastermind (think like a supervillain of sorts), and Nino as the only person who knows about it, but nobody believes him. (This one works better if they are just friends, and Ohno could be Aiba's unsuspecting lover... or be totally on board with Evil Aiba, idk).
-Jun as an alien. And Sho as a sci-fi writer/sci-fi fanatic who knows Jun/is dating Jun/has a crush on Jun, and starts suspecting Jun is an alien. Bonus if someone else that Sho doesn't suspect at all is also an alien (could be Nino, could be Ohno, could be Aiba, COULD BE ALL OF THEM!)
-Actually, Jun as any kind of supernatural creature.
-Aiba and/or Nino as fairies.

-If polyamorous relationships are your thing, I'm totally 100% fine with it. OT5 is LOVE. Threesomes are cool too, whether for just a moment in the fic or as the final romantic trio. For OT3: Sho/Jun/Ohno, Sho/Jun/Aiba, Sho/Jun/Nino (so... it's Sho/Jun + 1 for OT3, yes).

You don't need to use any of these settings btw. I'm pretty much open to anything. But if you have any doubts about my tastes, feel free to ask me through the mods. Please confirm with me if there's any kink that you want to include and aren't sure if I'll like it (unless it's too extreme, I'll probably be fine with it).

What I would NOT like to read (triggers, kinks, genres, etc.):
-Anything Non-AU, particularly mentions of the hiatus.
-COVID settings.
-Rape, abusive relationships, stalking (if you mention them as part of a character's backstory, don't make it graphic).
-The dreaded old fandom stereotypes, you already know them.
-Whiny weak bottoms and borderline abusive ultra possessive tops. Actually, throw the whole top/bottom thing away. Personalities have nothing to do with whether you like to top or bottom during sex. Also, switching totally exists.
-Cheating, breaking up a pairing to set up another one, love triangles.
-Teacher/student, employer/employee. I can accept coworkers dating, or someone dating a person who is higher on their company's hierarchy without being their direct superior.
-Minors having sex, especially if their partner is an adult (again, if you mention it as part of their backstory, don't make it graphic).
-If a word for something exists in English, please don't write it in Japanese. It's "good morning" not "ohayou gozaimasu". It's "cute" not "kawaii". Things like "senpai" or "kouhai" and honorifics are OK.
-Don't say "the other man" "the younger/older man", unless you haven't revealed the character's name. I might get confused.
-OT4. It's sacrilege. Either pick an OT3 or go all the way to OT5, but don't do this to me.
-Kinks that include any bodily fluid other than saliva or semen. So piss, poop, blood, etc, those are OUT.

Pairings I want to write: Sho pairings, but Sho/Jun is my favorite. Also any Jun pairing, but Sho/Jun is still my favorite, lol. Anything else is also OK, except the two listed below.
Pairings I DO NOT want to write: I only write Arashi pairings, so nothing outside of that. My least favorite Arashi pairings are Sho/Aiba and Nino/Ohno, so I'd rather not write those two.
What I would like to write (genres, kinks, etc.): Anything goes! Especially the kind of things I listed in my "want to read".
What I would NOT like to write (genres, kinks, etc.): I'm extremely bad at writing graphic sex scenes, so don't expect that from me. Also, everything that's on my "don't want to read".

Preferred rating (written and received): For writing, up to R. For receiving, any rating is fine (I only mentioned sex stuff in my sign-up in case the author needs it, but I'm also OK with 0% sex happening in the story).

Can you pinch-hit? Maybe, if I'm not busy. Ask!
Can you beta? Same as above, ask!
Anything else you want to say? Really excited to be here :D
