Happy New Year, everybody!
We hope things have been going well with you since we last saw each other! We're here once again, ready to kick the year off with the 2023 edition of the Sakuraiba Exchange~ So it's without further ado that we're pleased to announce that the sign-ups are officially...
~OPEN~
As usual, here's a reminder of the rules:
1. Fics should respect the recipient's wishes as much as possible, especially their "do not want" list; remember that no underage fics - which are fics where one or more underage (<18) characters are sexualized in any way - are permitted.
2. Fics should be submitted with all the appropriate HTML tags.
3. Fics should be a minimum of 1000 words (there is no maximum though).
4. Fics should be written in English and be betaed.
5. Fics should be original, so no translations or sequels related to a writer's previous fic; they also shouldn't be published anywhere until reveals.
6. Writers and their recipient are to stay anonymous until the reveals, so there can be no direct contact between the two parties; if you have any inquiries to make, you can ask us, the mods, to ask for you.
7. Have fun and spread the Sakuraiba love!!!
Please read the FAQs and Rules post for further explanations. If you have any doubts or questions, please do not hesitate to contact us!

Deadline for un-betaed fics: March 21st 2023
