IshiHime Birthday Contest Entries & Gifts Master Post

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

hello everyone, the following is a comprehensive list of the IshiHime haul of fanworks that arrived for my birthday on Nov. 19 (and technically, in celebration of our Ishida-kun's birthday as well--that birthday was on Nov. 6. The dear boy gets so many birthdays in fandom but we've yet so see one celebrated in the manga. Wouldn't it be cool if one day one of the Bleach characters had cake and candles in manga time? The only date  I remember a big deal being made of was Masaki's death day). Thank you to karenai  for compiling the links while I was busy and sleepless. Thank you again to all the participants--you helped make a fandom that usually waits with the patience of basset hounds for a bone every once in a blue moon very very very happy. 

Please refer to this list of links before or as you make your decisions in the voting polls which I'll have up soon. I said I was going to be lenient with the deadline so if your entry made it at all near the deadline, I included it. XD  I know that I stipulated IshiHime work only but a couple of you made IshiHimeUlqui entries and wondered if they were eligible--well, I talked it over with my mods and I decided that because my description for fanfic was so open (I had stipulated only that the characters of Ishida and Orihime figure prominently) that the door should be open for art as well, so I included the IshiHimeUlqui art entry in the competition for prizes.

The winner of the fanfic category will get a $25 amazon.com gift certificate and the winner of the fanart category will a choice of the same or Deviant Art points. I'll see about distributing the other prizes (the doujin, the notebook folder, postcards or extra DA points) as the votes tally. You'll have the opportunity to vote for as many or as few entries as you wish in each category. (I hope to have the poll up soon while everyone is still checking for spoilers and needs something to do. XD)

They're all so beautiful... I don't even know what I'm gonna vote for. T_T Thank you for your hard work, karenai, _debbiechan_!

Haha, I learned to solve this problem every year by voting for all of them but I suggest that only *I* get that escape route if we're actually going to have winners. Of course in my view, the winner is fandom, but I do like to give out prizes and encourage people to do their best work so hey--competitions are fun.

I'm so very much in love with the turn-out this year and the quality of all the works and I'm so so SO happy.

I don't think I did that great of a job this year, but then again, I think that way about my fics all the time (laughs) Thanks for having the contest - it got me writing again!
