Fandom Brats, Knit Ukitake & Hisagi, Ulquiorra Essay and Fanart

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

Not long ago I was so happy to read Kubo-sensei's remarks to American fandom after his trip to SDCC.

I would be happy if through my work I am able to give you even half the strength you have given me.

Lines like that made me want to wax rhapsodic about the oodles of happy feelings fandom provides but I contained myself. A few capslock comments and squee-noises shared with some buds was enough. Fandom weariness, on the other hand, won't be contained, and I'm so fed up with fandom lately. The fandom blahs want me to be wordy. So here goes:

( Fandom, how do I hate thee? )

Okay, I feel a little better now.

Smile. Usually incandescens is putting together words in perfectly crafted fics but looky what she made recently!

( Knitted Ukitake and Hisagi )

The Bleach manga celebrates its seven year anniversary next week. I always forget how long I've been a fan. I started reading before the end of the SS arc--before Byakuya's backstory was finally revealed so I know to be patient. Isshin and Ryuuken and all these guys will get their stories told eventually. The secrets of the hougyoku will be known to me and I will create my master army.... etcetera, etcetera.... There will be plot resolution and I will stand in Heaven.

Sometimes justing thinking that we may get an Ulquiorra backstory before Christmas of this year makes today's laundry piles worth wading through! XD
