Birthday Bash IshiHime Fanfic Contest Poll

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

Sorry for taking my time getting the polls up! It's been a hectic week. I want to again thank everyone who participated in the birthday bash contests. Watching the arts come up on Ishida's birthday is such fun, and being inundated with IshiHime fic (the pairing's not terribly popular among fandom writers) in a single day is a super treat for me. I'm always touched that this community inspires all the art and posy and babblings it does.

Below are links to the fanfic entries and the poll so you can select the winners. Only members of bleachness may vote. You may check as few or as many of the fics as you like in your vote but I suggest limiting yourself to three votes because there may be three winners in this category. The poll will close one week from now, Tuesday, November 17, at midnight CTS.

I enjoyed all the fics. Again, thank you so very much for all of them.

Guildy's Fake Spoilers and Kubo-sensei's Vacation

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

Was it just me who missed Live Journal for that whole hour it was down? I was just trying to get polls up is all.

That and waiting for Bleach spoilers. There appear to be none today even though One Piece and Naruto spoilers are already out. I'm pretty sure that there's a Bleach chapter in this issue of Shounen Jump. It's the following week that Kubo-sensei is taking a vacation (just a heads-up for you addicts).

Anyway, for those of you who need a spoiler fix, Guildenstern has provided some:

( warning: fake spoilers )

In other news, people are predicting that Unohana is going to gouge out Ichigo's eyes in the next chapter so that he can't see Aizen's shikai. Now, I know she looked scary in the last chapter's close-ups and I've always suspected SS of shady doings but do you really think that the four devils are the Shinigami of the last chapter and that SS is setting Ichigo up? There's an interesting thread on the subject at BA. It's really my favorite subject in Bleach, believe it or not--the whole ethics of SS business, not who gets to rape Uryuu next in my upoming fic.

Orihime vs Aizen and Soul Society's Sketchiness

So, when I saw the spoiler thread at BA, I started a response with my theories... and got a little carried away.

No objectionable content beyond crazy theories that actually have basis, a bit of NelIchi wishful thinking, and a long mini-essay.

Anime Episode 245 (and Ishida fangirl) Squeeage

[nehalenia.livejournal.com]

Okay, I'm usually don't pay that much attention to the anime when it's in Filler-Land, but this filler arc has been pretty entertaining, and I'm totally IN LOVE with the latest one!

Why, you ask?

( Cut for huge spoilers! Go watch it and then come back! )

Imma go watch it again!

Black Soil [fanart]

I have to really be in the mood to draw someone for it to look nice, and lately I've been in a Kurotsuchi mood. I drew this up today while listening to his songs, which inspired this image. Don't ask me what it is, though XD
