Welcome to the sign-up post for Issue 8 of cornerflag! As some of us head back to school, the theme is:

Academy

You may interpret it any way you wish: two teammates on a youth team, for example, or former teammates taking up coaching a youth team, or current teammates who were also teammates at the youth level. (Just to clarify: the fic does not have to

I can't remember if "uncommon" stands for "uncommon in English-speaking fandom" or "uncommon in fandom". As, the pairing I'm thinking about right now is quite common in Italian communities but I'm sure there are... six stories about the babies in English. And three are mine.

[5thofficial]

you have to tell us what the pairing is before we can make an official ~ruling, but tentatively I'd say if it's rare in English-speaking fandom that's probably fine. cornerflag is an English-speaking comm, etc.

Mario Balotelli (actually in Manchester City)/Davide Santon (actually in Newcastle United). They both played for Internazionale youth team, then they both got promotion in first team - Mario in December 2007, Davide in June 2008. They played together for Italy U21 NT as well.
I checked and I found that I never posted my stories on them on FBslash. *falls over* calcioriffic has more of them, but I guess that two ficlets (and two threesomes with both of them involved) could justify a rare-stamp, if you're willing to count just English fandom.

(Note: I'm okay with any ruling you'd choose. Whore enough to find some other pairing. *cries*)

[5thofficial]

oh god, that's fine, don't worry about it. pairings only get disqualified if they're the huge popular OTP of a team. this is not Kaka/Sheva territory. XD will add your sign-up posthaste!

[oh_pedia]

FC Schalke 04, Manuel Neuer/Benedikt Höwedes, slash, please and thank you! :)

[5thofficial]

they're all yours! :)

[curvasud]

Would it be possible for me to co-author a submission with cannonsburn? If yes, Real Madrid, Iker Casillas/Xabi Alonso, slash, please.

[5thofficial]

conferring with my other half, but should probably be okay. was either of you planning on signing up individually as well? that might make things trickier.

[curvasud]

I don't think so, but I'll double check with cannonsburn when she comes back from her holidays.

[5thofficial]

kk I'll put the two of you up together now and we'll cross that bridge when we come to it. honestly it wouldn't be a bad thing to have an actual policy on collaborations; I think it just hasn't come up before.

I would like to take Manchester United - Gary Neville/Ryan Giggs! :) Slash! :)

all set!
