Username/Fic journal: rollingday_s | rollingdayscomm @ DW
E-mail: I will send it to you in a PM asap

Pairings/friendships I want, no, NEED (if you can only think of one pairing/friendship you want, please try to include at least one more for your mods' sakes): (in order of NEED) Aiba/Sho, Aiba/Jun, Aiba/Ohno. Aiba/Nino as brotp YES PLEASE. Actually, ANY Aiba friendship is LOVE. For side-pairings please no Sho/Nino, Sho/Jun or Ohno/Nino. No Arashi/non-Arashi pairings please unless it's a side-pairing.
I'm also fine with OT3s and OT5s, if that's your thing. For OT3s: Sho/Aiba/Jun is my favourite, so you can't go wrong with that, but I also love Ohno/Aiba/Sho, and Sho/Aiba/Nino a lot. For OT3s, if you make Sho the bottom I will love you forever jsyk.

Genres, situations, kinks, plots I would like to receive: Dear author-san, I don't want to tie your imagination down with unnecessary things. If by reading my pairings list you already have an idea, go ahead and write it! Unless it contains stuff from my won't-read list, I'm sure it's going to be perfect!

If you, however, need me to provide you with prompts or other info, I've got you!

I'm a lover of anything angsty and romantic, and let me tell you right now, even if it's very appreciated, I don't need an happy ending. You can break my heart in tiny pieces and leave me on the floor. It doesn't matter.

But I'm also very fond of fluffiness and laughter and comedies. A quirky rom-com is always a pleasure to read! I will always be a fan of the old fake dating trope, no matter how many times I read it.

You like sci-fi? Fantasy? Dystopia? That's great! I do too! Time travelling is just about my favourite thing in the world, and magic and dystopic worlds are something I always love to read about.

If that's not enough, I have a wish list in my journal to get prompts from! If you go the OT3 way, I also have this one here:

Ohno (or Jun) is in love with Aiba. Sho, Ohno's friend is also in love with Aiba, so they never did anything out of respect for their each other. However, one day Aiba suddenly makes a move on Ohno, who feels a bit guilty and conflicted about it, but gives in. After that, Aiba and Ohno start dating, keeping things a secret from Sho. Unbeknownst to Ohno, though, Aiba is also dating Sho and he's also keeping it a secret...

I would love to read this for Ohno/Aiba/Sho or Sho/Aiba/Jun but you can switch characters/pairings/settings as you see fit. You can mix prompts, or take just the general idea. Let your imagination flow!

Genres, situations, kinks, plots I would NOT LIKE to receive: posting my usual list:

-mpreg

-rape/non-con

-abuse

-paedophilia

-terminal diseases

-omegaverse

-PWP (a little smut is a-okay, just let the story have a plot though)

-genderswitch (unless everyone is genderswitched)

-seme/uke dynamics

-extreme violence

-gore/blood

-yakuza

-power imbalances (teacher/student, boss/subordinate etc.)

-horror

-self-harm/suicide attempt

-underage sex/smoking/drinking

-junior/pre-debut era or underage characters in general (flashbacks are okay, but the main story should have 18+ characters)

-very dark themes or heavy kinks in general

Pairings, genres, plots I would like to write: (in order) Aiba/Jun or Aiba/Sho equally!! Aiba/Ohno!! Aiba/Nino friendship!! I'm fine with most genres, but I'm a huge fan of angst and romance.

Pairings, genres, plots I WILL NOT write: Arashi/non-Arashi. As for genres and plots, I'd like to challenge myself and so I'll say I'm game for anything but very dark themes/kinks, rape/incest, yakuza, paedophilia and illnesses.

Rating preference (both written and received): I can go for NC-17, however I will only write it if it fits the story. As for received, any rating the author is comfortable with is fine, but if you choose a romantic genre and it's PG please let them at least kiss? *puppy eyes*

I can beta (Y/N): You can ask, I have no idea if I will have time though.
I can pinch hit (Y/N): Same as above, please do ask, if I can help I will.
Famous Last Words: I really wanted to participate to this exchange so I'm happy I saw this by chance today! :)
