IshiHime Contest Announcement

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

I'm still surprised at how much of fandom thinks that Bleach has ended, but it's only the first week of Sensei's vacation. Let's see if I can goad your idle hands into doing some fanwork for a contest? XD XD XD

Ishida’s Birthday! Deb’s Birthday! Fanfic Contest! Fanart Contest!

 

It’s a tradition now!

( announcement announcement lots of images )

And as always, thanks everyone for being here for bleachness  and for me and my crazy Bleach obsession. I still can't get over how my little fanblog has grown over the past few years, and I'm always very happy with the feedback and letters about this place. Believe me, the positive stuff far outweighs the few crazy anon flames I get about this site and makes keeping this place up worthwhile.

Fic - Loss (1/1)

[prepare4trouble.livejournal.com]

Title: Loss
Author: prepare4trouble
Fandom: Bleach
Characters: Ichigo, Ishida. (But no pairing)
Rating: PG
Spoilers : Right up to manga no.423
Summary: Post 423. Ishida tries to make Ichigo feel better. He fails.
Authors Note: I'm pretty much brand new to this fandom. (Hello, btw!) I haven't even read all the manga, but my bad habit of skipping to the end meant I saw the latest happenings and this idea just wouldn't leave me alone. I didn't intend to write fic until I knew the whole story to date and had a better handle on the characters, but hopefully I did okay. Reviews and con-crit very welcome.

Call for artists!

I asked _debbiechan_ about posting this to the comm, and she was just as excited as I was.

bleach_bigbang is running their big bang challenge for the first time this year, and in the good tradition of all big bang fic challenges, is also asking for artists to illustrate the stories before the great unveilling of authors.

I missed the chance to pimp the challenge for writers who hang out in bleachness, but our members list has so many awesome artists too, that I really hope some of you choose to take up the challenge of illustrating the stories.

There's a range of pairings, although they are pretty much all yaoi ones this year, but it's a good chance for people who aren't into Ishihime (and thus can't enter the Bleachness birthday challenge) to crack their talent out in a big way.

Artist Sign-up here.

I might not be involved in that challenge, but I can't wait to read/see the final products...

In the absence of a chapter this week... here is the new Bleach OP. I hope no one minds, and that this is allowed. xD
