Bleachness Contest Reminder: You Have 2 More Weeks

[http://users.livejournal.com/_debbiechan_/]

HEY! SECOND ANNUAL BLEACH BIRTHDAYS CONTEST DEADLINE APPROACHETH!

The deadline, or rather, the ONE day to post entries for the Bleachness contest is Thursday, November 6, 2008, Ishida's birthday. You have a little less than two weeks to finish working on your entries!

Please read the contest info below on how to post. You will be posting that day with the subject heading ISHIDA BIRTHDAY CONTEST and the category of your entry (IshiHime Fanfic, RenIshi Challenge, Draw Ishida or IshiHime Graphics) also in the subject heading. You may enter as many times as you like, one entry per post.

Feel free to pimp the contest around, especially to icon communities if you think anyone might be interested in making sets of IshiHime icons for the last category.

Voting will be exclusively by you this year; watch this community for details. I'll probably hold the voting right after the entries are posted (after I determine which posts are eligible--that's right, you can post away on Nov. 6, all kinds of ineligible posts that celebrate Ishida's birthday will be welcome!) and announce the winners on my own birthday, Nov. 19. That's the way I did things last year but you never know. I'm a quixotic woman.



I got two copies of All Colour But the Black in its English translation the other day. ONE OF THEM IS YOURS, the one whose pages I haven't already worn out. I love this book. It's beautiful and shiny.




How many prizes I give away (I love to give people stuffs on my birthday--it's a tradition) will depend on how many entries we get and if there are second and third place finishers. Here's another pic I took a while back of some of the available goodies that includes the Orihime hentai doujin I thought some guy might like if some guy wins a category (although I'm a chick and I love Orihime hentai... then again, I'm a total perv)... this is a nice one.



Some IshiHime doujin, Ishida pins, the Honey Dish Rhapsody novel, Colorful Bleach, a Japanese manga volume 2--not the Ishida and Orihime dangle phone charms, you can't have those--and the Orihime hentai. There are more doujin to select from too, including a mess of RenIshi I haven't gotten yet (but Spacecat said he put them in the post last week! XD) and a few general Bleach doujin.

Is there much difference between the Japanese and U.S. versions of the artbook?

[http://users.livejournal.com/_debbiechan_/]

You'd have to ask someone who owns both. I just have the English versions and seeing as there's no text but for Kubo's comments at the end, I'd say no. But Kubo's comments are the best part! They're translated on the net, though. But they're nice to have.

I kept saying to myself "I have plenty of time, plenty of time..." then looked at the deadline today and was like "oh snap!" I'm such a procrastinator...

Two weeks is plenty time.

I'm the world's worst--I've been working on Jaina's bday fic for TWO YEARS NOW.

Argh, I still have a late essay to finish (concluding paragraph and proofreading ahead), and then I have three essays due in the span of four days in late November. Do I have time to finish something between this assignment and the rush that will hit me? Do I? Do I? I want to write an IshiHime, but I may need to post something post-contest and out of eligibility for prizes. Or whip up something short for participation's sake.

School! It so interferes with FANDOM!

Late entries welcome too, Adam. You know I love your stuff. I might send you some pocky and a doujin for the heck of it anyway because I <3 U.

[adam-epp.livejournal.com]

Yes, you would accept an IshiHime at any time of the year. Prizes aren't as important to me as improving my writing skills and technique.

That pic with Hime playing the quiz show host's assistant showing the prizes is too cute :D

Weird coincidence but your birthday is the same as my sister's ^_^

It's KENPACHI'S BIRTHDAY TOO! XD Me and Him, WE FIERCE SCORPIOS! DO NOT MESS WITH US, HO HO.

[adam-epp.livejournal.com]

My birthday is the same as Byakuya's, so I also was born on the same day as a captain. And having the same birthday as Nii-sama helps Laurie remember my birthday.

Wow, you and Nii-sama? Way to a woman's heart!

[adam-epp.livejournal.com]

I know.

Oooh~ Debbie! Mind if I ask where you got your copy of All Colour But The Black? :)) And while I'm at it, would you happen to know where I can get a copy of that lovely new '09 calendar, as well?

[http://users.livejournal.com/_debbiechan_/]

The English version of All Colour But the Black is available everywhere now--Amazon.com, your local Barnes & Noble, Borders. The manga calendar is available only in Japan but should be on Ebay soon.

Ah! Thx, babe! :D
