Bleachness

A special treat! NOT SAFE FOR WORK (but not explicit either)! Another IchiIshi art from Lady Melissa! She wants this one to be a GIFT "for fun" and not in the running for a prize. I'm not sure why--it's amazing work. XD  ( eta: she said it can be in the running for a prize! YEY! Glad we cleared that up! We're not DA and squeamish about er-o-ti-ca) THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOUUUUUUUU. IT'S FUN YES. I'M HAVING SOME FUN. <3 Love Ishida's expression here and niiiiice job with the hands.

Looky right here and keep clicking to enlarge or look under cut for full view.

Another entry sent to me. I'm sure you're familiar with Lady Melissa from Deviant Art. Her IchiIshi work as well as her other Bleach pairings work is so lovely. Multishipper yey! I'm so happy to host this piece.

Oh my goodness, look what Spiderkiss found--this Rukia chibi figurine is a MUST HAVE--the new hair, the pink hair accessory, the CHAPPY! The cuteness is slaying me.

REMINDER AGAIN. The annual bleachness birthdays contest is only SIX DAYS AWAY. The day to post is this coming Sunday! If you won't be here to post on that day, you may mail me your entry to post for you. PM me via LJ or write me at deb@debbiechan.com for more info. Details about the contest HERE.

I had a few afternoons to draw the other week and did a few sketches for the BA IchiRuki November calendar. Here are some details from calendars that didn't make it as well as the actual calendar. Like a lot of Bleach fans I was inspired by the anime ice-skating scene. It was too cute. I want a pink scarf like Rukia's now. (I wonder if Deviko in the manga is pink like Rukia's devil costume of the Halloween spread--pink isn't Rukia's color but it suits her, oddly enough)

eta: woops had the links wrong--why is editing on LJ HARDER than it was before? :/

And now for something completely different!

If you've been a member of this community for a while you know I always celebrate Ishida's birthday and mine with a fanworks contest and usually try to encourage works for my OTP, IshiHime. Well, IshiHime is still my OTP, and haha, my first yaoi ship in Bleach was Renji/Ishida and will always be my favorite yaoi Ishida pairing but damn, recent manga happenings have me craving Ichigo and Ishida works! So this year, as promised--IT'S GONNA BE AN ICHIISHI CONTEST! <3

I know there are plenty of you hardcore IchiIshi fans out there and that it's a marvelously talented fandom. I was around for the heyday in 2006-2007. Even if you're not a yaoi fan, you can still make fics or arts for this contest--buddy or rival works or just anything that features these two nakama in their iconic wonderful relationship is welcome.

It's been a looong time since I myself did much for the IchiIshi fandom, and I do want to return. Some of you new to bleachness may mistakenly know me as a het shipper or IchiRuki fangirl--haha, I've written dozens of IchiIshi stories and tried my hand at a few arts. Was looking over them yesterday. They continue to be among my most visited work so I know you IchiIshi peeps are out there. I'd hoped for a resurgence of IchiIshi fic after Ishida made his glorious stand (and handclasp!) on the dome but not too much happened--then after the fullbringer arc double-team fight against the thugs, I hoped for more but again.... is it too much to hope for that you guys will come through for me this time?

For nostalgia's sake, just a few fic recs of my own stuff and some old arts:
