Rules (and Q that are likely FA)
What do we have here? The Ninomiya Exchange!
The Ninomiya Exchange is a fic exchange dedicated to fanfiction about Ninomiya Kazunari. The focus is limited, but the possibilities are endless!
Basic Rules
1. Fic must be Nino-centric. The main pairing or friendship (or one of the main pairings/friendships) must involve Nino.
2. Fic must be at least 1,000 words.
3. Fic must be beta read.
4. Usual exchange rules apply:
4a. Don't post your fic before reveals are up.
4b. Don't break confidentiality.
4c. Write in readable English.
4d. Include all of your HTML tags when you submit your fic.
4e. Do your best to write something your recipient asked for.
4f. Don't be a jerk. We're doing this for fun, so bite your tongue if you feel the sudden need to bash things or people you don't like.

Nitty Gritty
Why?
Because Nino is awesome.
Does it have to be a pairing-based fic?
Nope! Genfic is exceedingly welcome.
Does it have to be Arashi-centric?
Nah. If that's what you're most comfortable with, by all means write Arashi-centric Nino fic. But intergroup/non-JE (including het) Nino fic is also very much appreciated.
Does it have to be written from Nino's point of view?
Absolutely not. It can be, but it certainly doesn't have to be. It just has to be Nino-centric.
Can I use drama/movie/stage play characters?
Yes, as long as one of the main characters is one of Nino's characters.
Can I contact my recipient for--
No. No, you cannot. If you have any questions or concerns about what you're writing and you want to get in contact with your recipient for whatever reason, use the middle man and contact me at ninoexchange@gmail.com. I'll get in touch with your recipient for you.
How do I submit this bad boy?
Send your fic to ninoexchange@gmail.com whenever you have it ready and beta-read, the sooner the better, but most definitely by June 10th, whenever that ends wherever you are. There will be reminders as we near the deadline.
Your fic must include the proper header:
Title:
Pairing/Focus:
Rating:
Warnings:
Summary:
Notes:
What happens if I need an extension/beta reader?
If you find yourself in need of an extension, let me know as soon as possible and your wish shall be granted. If you're looking for a beta reader, please let me know in advance, and have your fic ready by June 3rd so that the beta has enough time to read over your fic and get it back to you for final revisions before the deadline.
What if I have to drop out?
Dropping out is okay. Life gets in the way and all that. But do try to get in contact with me as soon as you realize you can't complete your assignment, preferably by June 3rd. You won't be penalized for your first drop, but we're playing modified baseball here: two strikes (consecutive or not) and you're on the bench for the next round.
Have I missed anything? If you have any other questions, ask here or send me an e-mail (ninoexchange@gmail.com) or PM!
