DEAR ANON-SAN WHO HAS BEEN ASSIGNED TO ME: I REALLY HOPE YOU LIKE THOUSAND-WORD SIGN-UPS BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE GETTING.

Pairings/friendships I'd like to receive: My first choice is Nino/Jun but I'd also be thrilled to receive Nino/Aiba or Nino/Ohno. I love Nino and Sho as hetero life mates, just not as boyfriends, so if you want to throw some Shoneen friendship in there that would be delightful. If you want to branch out, some non-Arashi people I enjoy in no particular order are Matsuken, Koyuki, Nagase, Narimiya Hiroki, Yoshitaka Yuriko, Kitagawa Keiko, Komatsu Ayaka, Toda Erika, Fukiishi Kazue, Perfume, and/or Ryo or Subaru or anyone else from Eito. They can be part of Nino pairs, part of other pairs, making guest appearances as buddies, anything. I love dedicated two-person relationships ... but I also really love threesomes, moresomes, OT5, polyamory, open relationships, etc. So go crazy! Or don't! It will be really hard for you to write something I don't love is what I'm saying here.

Prompts: Genres, situations, storylines, kinks, etc. I would like to receive: I HAVE A LOT TO SAY (omg I'm so sorry) so I'll break it up into sections for easier reading.

→ I like stories about escalation, where something - a relationship? a kink? an idea? a dilemma? - starts off slow/casual/innocent and then ramps up. I like stories that examine how different people react in the same situation, or how the same person reacts in different situations. I like general hijinks and ridiculousness and camaraderie, but I also like darker themes and distress. I'm not crazy about stories where the main plot is romance/fluff or getting people to hook up, but I do like those things as elements of a larger plot. For this exchange I'm leaning more towards canon or a modern/realistic AU, but if you have some kind of fantastical setting you think would work well, go for it!

→ Some ideas you can use as a springboard: The one where Nino tries to figure out everyone's weird hidden kinks; The one where Nino is actually the dominant one and Jun is secretly super submissive for him; The one where Nino and Aiba hooked up as teens/twenty-somethings and run into each other years later; The one where Nino and Ohno are in a happy open relationship but always come back to each other; The one where Nino is somehow roped into being Sho's lazy, begrudging wingman; The one where Nino meets/dates/has sex with Momo, Taiga, and/or Ban; The one where Nino really is an indie songwriter; The one where Nino really is a magician; The one where Nino really is seventeen forever; The one where Nino really is a sexual powerhouse. These are just ideas to help you out! Feel free to combine multiple ones, tweak them to suit your needs, or disregard them altogether if you have something else in mind. :D

→ You will earn brownie points for A+ Nino details, but at the same time I'd like to see it taken beyond the usual tropes we're all used to. Yes, he's cheap and he loves video games... but what else is there? Basically I love reading about the different ways people interpret his personality, so show me what you think he's like underneath the quirks he plays up for the cameras. You will earn SUPER LOVE LOVE BONUS brownie points for incorporating or even just mentioning his weak stomach (http://arashikink.tumblr.com/tagged/nino's%20weak%20stomach) and/or his wide hips and thighs (http://kinoface.dreamwidth.org/41501.html).

→ I really, really love stories with sex and kink. It can be PWP, but I'd go bananas for a fic that has porn wrapped up in plot or a plot that revolves around porn. Don't feel like you HAVE to write sex, because I'll understand if you're not comfortable with it or just can't make it work or whatever. But it's definitely something I would appreciate. :D An embarrassingly detailed list of kinks can be provided upon request (or you can just check out my fics or my NSFW tumblr (http://kinoface.tumblr.com)), but the main ones are bondage and gags (http://kinoface.tumblr.com/tagged/gags are my bulletproof kink), playing around with power dynamics, and anything that could conceivably fall under the category of oral fixation. I tend to lean towards Nino as a bossy bottom, but if you want to convince me that he'd make a badass top, that's good too. :D

→ Having said all of that~ I'm really easy to please. Just pick something you'll have fun writing, and I'll have fun reading it. ♥

Prompts: Genres, situations, storylines, kinks, etc. I WOULD NOT like to receive: NO major illness, even if it's just a tiny detail, even if everything is okay in the end. (General health-related stuff is fine, so if you're unsure, you can always ask me via our lovely mod.) No high school (college is okay), no scifi, no historical, no crack. No noncon. No first or second person, no OOC, no unreasonable villains ("this character is a jerk purely because the story needs someone to be a jerk"). No cheating/dishonesty, messy break-ups (parting amicably is fine!), or angst for angst's sake. And please no kink-shaming, poly-shaming, or slut-shaming (although shame as a kink in and of itself is A-okay).

I would like to write (pairings/friendships and prompts): Arashi is my comfort zone; for this exchange I'd like to step out of my comfort zone's comfort zone and write some Ohmiya or Shoneen, but really I would be delighted to write any of them in any combination. If necessary I could also do Eito, Matsuken, Becky, Riisa, Keiko, or Perfume. For prompts, I will write anything as long as it's not listed below. Seriously, anything!!
I WILL NOT write (pairings/friendships and prompts): No one not listed above. No terminal illness (but other health-related stuff or even character death is okay). No high school, scifi, or historical AUs. I am pathetically unversed in Nino dramas/movies so no characters or settings from there. I'd prefer not to write something that's purely a romance/getting-together fic, but that's not a hard and fast rule. Otherwise, I'm down for whatever!!
Rating preference (written and received): The higher the better :D but I'll be happy to write/receive anything.

I can beta! Yes!
I can pinch hit! Not sure - check in with me later if you need someone.
I have these things to say that were not addressed in any of the other categories: NINO. NINOOOOOO.
