Fic journal: I'm new to Arashi fic writing, though I have experience writing other things :)
E-mail address: PM me by LJ please.
Pairings/friendships I'd like to receive: (If you only have one desired pairing/friendship, please try to include at least one alternative idea, just in case.) In order of preference: Nino/Aiba, Nino/Sho, Nino/Ohno, Nino/Jun. Friendship is good, but if you really want the key to my soft spot, you'll make it a friendship-with-subtle-hints-of-romance. Just sayin'!
Pairings/friendships I would NOT like to receive: No Sakumoto in the background, please. Also, avoid het (either as a main pair or a side pair).
Prompts: Genres, situations, storylines, kinks, etc. I would like to receive:
Basically anything where Nino can show off his snarky affection for his bandmates is gold. I'm not picky. Slice of life with some light humor and just a little bit of heartbreak is my favorite, but anything that falls under comedy, (b)romance, drama is fair game. Endings do not always need to have perfect sunshiney happily-ever-afters. As long as there is some feeling of the characters having progressed emotionally over the course of the fic, it's perfectly fine to end it either happily or unhappily. Some suggestions below (in no particular order, and you may certainly write something that's not on the list if you feel like it):
-Nino is a fluffy cute cat... with a wicked set of claws and one of his bandmates has to babysit him.
-Sleazy car salesmen AU! (You can have them competing for sales of the year!)
-Anything involving one of the other members pulling a brilliant prank on Nino, for once!
-ANYTHING NON-AU. Behind the scenes in a photo shoot, show recording, PV making... anything non-AU will hit my sweet spot, and I especially enjoy stories where their relationship builds up throughout the years, but I realize it is harder to write for some people, so no pressure!
-If you can fit Jun in anywhere as the grudging fairy godmother figure who gives one of the main characters a complete makeover, BONUS!
-Circus AU, where Jun is the ringmaster who can never let Nino catch a break, and Nino (through some conniving) finds out about Master Jun's one great weakness (cough *backflip* cough)
-Any kind of tournament/competition that all five participate in.
-Arashi on a reality show.
- unrequited love. If you want to go the angst route, I adore love triangles. I especially adore the pining and self-sacrifice that comes with the unlucky one who is unrequited.
- infidelity. Sometimes, your heart just wants more than one person (Nino torn between two people he loves equally). Sometimes, the initial flame you had just dies down and you don't realize you're drifting apart until you meet someone else (Nino in an unhappy relationship, but then he meets Aiba, who becomes the best hour of every day for him; think Tokyo Tower, but give yourself the freedom to make it less heavy)
Prompts: Genres, situations, storylines, kinks, etc. I WOULD NOT like to receive:
Drug use, smoking, violence, kinky sex (it's okay to casually joke about handcuffs, but I'd rather not have three paragraphs dedicated to it, you know?), sci-fi (fantasy is okay, though), crossovers with Western fandoms (like HP, Twilight, Hollywood TV/movies etc etc; if you must do a crossover, keep it Japanese).

Aimiya/Ninoai would be my number one preference by miles and miles, but any Nino pairing within Arashi is technically doable. I can write romance, drama, fantasy, fluff, and little bits of melancholic humor. I like writing slice-of-life. Non-AU is okay, but AU tends to come more easily to me. I enjoy exploring the subtle hints of romance/camaraderie in the characters' everyday lives. I like writing the usual AU's: coffeehouse/bar, office, hospital, outdoors, vacation, food. I am also more than happy to do more exotic things like spies, mad scientists, fantasy/magic interwoven into normal human life (I'm less into supernatural things like vampires werewolves or "creatures" of that sort).
I WILL NOT write (pairings/friendships and prompts): Nino pairings outside of Arashi (including het). Aimiya that has to stay strictly "friendship only" (not that I don't see them as great friends in RL, but when it comes to the world of fic, my mind will invariably wander into non-platonic waters and I would appreciate having no restrictions on this pairing). No smut/kinky stuff in bed, sorry! No drama fics or crossover fics. No character death. I'm bad at sci-fi stuff like space/robot/dystopian AU's. I'm also bad at historical AU's. Also, I'm less inclined to write OT3/OT4/OT5 fic. I'd rather focus just on a specific relationship, whether it's romantic or platonic.
Rating preference (written and received):
Up to R for both written and received. I like me a bit of sex, but I like it best when it's glossed over so that I can feel the emotions involved but you don't need to entertain me with details of every texture and every sound!
I can beta! (Y/N) N
I can pinch hit! (Y/N) N
I have these things to say that were not addressed in any of the other categories:
I look forward to writing.
