~ Rules ~
I know that most fic exchange rules are fairly standard, please read these anyway!
◊ All fanfic should be focused on Kis-My-Ft2 or its members. Other characters may appear at your and your recipient's pleasure but the focus should be on Kis-My-Ft2 in whatever grouping or pairing your recipient requests. Anything wherein all characters are members of Kis-My-Ft2 is acceptable. Both pairing fic and gen fic are acceptable. Intergroup fic should be approached with caution. Sign-ups only require three Kis-My-Ft2-Only pairings, but even if your recipient requests Fujigaya/Kawai, if you write it then your fic should center on Kis-My-Ft2.
(Ex. Good: Fujigaya and Kawai are trying desperately to get together and are foiled at every turn by NiSen and MiyaTama. Bad: Fujigaya and Kawai get down backstage.)
◊ You should do your very best to adhere to your recipient's request. That said, no one is required to write something with which they feel uncomfortable, such as sex. The mod will do her best not to pair up people with dissimilar rating preferences.
◊ Ratings will be open to anything from G to NC-17. However, minors (people under age 18) should not be depicted in sexual situations. I'm not saying you can't write it, just that I won't post it here.
◊ Fic should be no fewer than 1500 words in length.. Authors who have never written anything at least that long before are not encouraged to sign up. It is not a good idea for your first fic of this length to be an exchange fic.
◊ Fic must be submitted in '.doc', '.docx', or '.odt' form. No other file extensions are acceptable because I cannot guarantee the formatting will stay intact.
If you submit in another form, the mod may contact you to reformat and resubmit.
◊ Fic should be properly HTML tagged. Please refrain from specialized formatting besides bold, italics, and underlining as much as possible.
◊ Fic should be submitted with the standard header at the top and your fic under an lj-cut. You may choose to include special cut text. If you address your fic to your recipient, please make sure to use the name she lists in the "LJ Name to which your fic should be addressed" section of her sign-up.
THIS IS THE STANDARD HEADER. IT IS MANDATORY.

Title:Pairings/Characters:Rating:Warnings:Summary:Notes: ◊ Fic should be beta-read, preferably by a native speaker. It should include standard grammar, capitalization, and punctuation. I realize that dialogue tagging varies in some other languages. Fic should be submitted with standard English dialogue tagging, i.e. quote marks rather than dashes. You might think this is an unusually picky point, but consider how easy it will be to determine who wrote a fic if everyone who signs up is a native speaker of English except for one person and hers is the only fic with non-standard formatting. Stylistic choices for uncommon narrative styles, such as chat formatting for a story told in chat form, are fine.
◊ Fic should not contain a lot of any language that is not English. Please don't pepper your narrative with a ton of Japanese as not everyone who will sign up is necessarily going to be able to understand it. Common terms in fandom such as 'senpai', 'kouhai', and 'member ai' are acceptable to use in otherwise English narrative.
◊ This is an anonymous exchange. Please do not reveal your identity by reposting your fic anywhere else before reveals or by contacting your recipient.
◊ Everyone is expected to comply with the deadlines as posted unless they have made prior arrangements with the mod. I would rather not have to push back posting due to large amounts of extensions, so please try to budget your time well and turn your fic in on time.
◊ If you have not made arrangements with the mod and the deadline goes whooshing by without your submission actually getting, you know, submitted, it will be sent to a pinch hitter. As soon as the mod has confirmed a pinch hitter for your absent submission, you will forfeit the right to have your fic posted. I don't want to have to ask a pinch hitter to put in the effort write something on the fly without the promise of it being posted.
◊ If you must drop out, please let the mod know as soon as possible.
◊ Everyone who receives a fic, even if they have dropped out, is expected to comment on it before reveals go up. It's just good citizenship.
