I can't be the only fanfic writer whose tongue curls up and whose every neurotic neuron goes totally  WAAAH, so much for that fic fitting into the canon timeline whenever Kubo reveals a little detail that conflicts with one of my stories? Of course I have tolerance for the dissonant alternate universes of Bleaches, even within my own fic---in this one, Ishida loves Orihime, in that one Ichigo, la la la, I am AUTHOR and I do as I please--but lately the flashback chapters have been bombing the hell out of lots of "How Hisagi Got his 69 Tattoo" and other such theories. The stories aren't invalidated of course--good writing stands as good writing, and fanon doesn't have to fit (or even make sense) with Kubo's paradigms in order to be authentic bleachness.

But who else out there is going nuts as your "what if" stories and pre-canon timeline stories are smashed to dust? Writers are compulsive creatures so there's that urge to go back and tweak details---then again, one of the things that makes the canon bombings tolerable is the absolute authority with which Kubo kills your backstory. I've yet to read a fic that was in the canon timeline that was better than Kubo's story. I remember writing the scene where Ryuuken gives Uryuu his powers back simply because I was tired of waiting for it and thinking damn, this is pretty good, I wonder if Kubo can do something this good, and of course, he does leagues better.

Pimping Time. nehalenia  wrote a fic based on my drawing of Ishida with the fireflies: Whatever You Want (IchiIshi, yaoi, NC17). It's ... guh ... gah. And because I didn't properly pimp the fic last time, she also wrote a really delish steaming spring and sweaty bodies fic not long ago called Sword Brothers (RenIshi, yaoi, NC17)

Take heed, Neha's fic isn't for everyone--those of you who won't like it know who you are. But if you want scrumptious, literate, goooood smut, she's your gal.

I'm still trying to learn how to write smut like that. In case you missed it, I'm still interested in responses to The Pr0n Ficcer's Meme. I caught some people filling out the meme in private LJs but it would be cool if you could answer in comments to the original post itself. Thanks.

A fic rec! Some IchiIshi from a damn gooooood writer I've been squeeing over since her entry into the fandom! It's a bit squicky but it's a rescue fic so if you've seen Yael's infamous Ishida torture pic over at y!gallery, you'll appreciate nehalenia 's  story: More Than Nakama (NC-17)

And to further my campaign that Szayel will be back, probably for Easter, but knowing Kubo, maybe ... Tanabata?...HAVE SOME FANART: Not Dead by the ever awesome xilvrin (SilvaNoir on Deviant Art)

The best part about chapter 313 is that it's jumpstarted a lot of my old friends who were bored with Bleach into posting again. Jenni is one of those fans I love to disagree with, love to agree with, just plain love. Her sensible overviews trump my fangirliness any day. Recently, she pegged the issue at the heart of 313 while the rest of us were gawking at Ken-chan's shirtlessness or grumbling about ship stuffs. This is Ichigo's story, right? Ichigo is having some identity issues.

What is Your Place, Ichigo? (a 313 review by metaphore_art  )

What else? I've had a migraine all week so I've been kinda cranky. It's obvious to me now from having watched the latest episode of the manga that we're heading for EXTREME censorship of a lot of what we saw in the manga. Orihime was barely roughed up by Lolli and Menoli and their subsequent ... erm... punishment by Grimmjow was handled in a peculiar way to make the bitches half-responsible. *Sigh*  So much for my Szayel. There's just going to be no getting any of his outrageousness past the censors.

I can't remember the last time I had such extreme butterflies for a chapter as for 314 and I'm one of those Bleach fans who enjoys the whole damn thing and is RARELY bored of the manga. My most fervent wish is for Ulquiorra to return and I don't care where he shows up, but like most fans, I'd spin a cartwheel if he showed up to confront Orihime. Other things I'd like to see: 1) HOUGYOKU 2) KARAKURA PEOPLE, ANYONE, THE DADDIES, TATSUKI, ANYONE, even just some guy on the street buying a mochi ball 3) Grimmjow being healed by Unohana.

Wanna take bets as to who Nel is going to spit up on? I want it to be Ken-chan.

Guess what? I love Ishida! But I alone didn't put him in fifth place in the pop poll (yes, I was ONE of those crazy people who sent in a whole box of postcards to Japan--I know at least of one other nut who's confessed to ballot-stuffing (asam/manfan/whatever it goes by these days) and my son sent in a box for Hitsugaya, but who else sent a box? CONFESS! Kon addressed us personally--he called us "creepy people" here --and yes, in Kon's world, creepy means something! He was in the Bounto arc!)

I'm not taking any credit for the Hitsugaya/Momo/Kira votes, though. Hats off to their Japanese fans and their special brand of crazy.

I'm still shuddering from the icy glare Hitsugaya gives us loser fans in that poll spread. Ice, ice, baby.

( MY Ishida poll results, meta-crazy, and what's up for Valentine's? )

Keep those graphics and icons from the pop poll spread coming, folks. I'm hoping against hope that Kubo-sensei draws Ulquiorra in that little green scarf in a larger, more proper spread.  And please, people, write some good Valentine's and White Day fic.

I started a pic at my mom's house on MS paint while trying to avoid relatives on Xmas milling around and I finished it at my house later. IshiHime!

You Keep Me Warm

Attention yaoi fans! The voting has begun at the ishi_ichi  comm. Nine fics with something for everyone!

The Contest Voting Poll is Here!

And is it the end of SZAYELMAS? O.O There wasn't supposed to be JUMP this week so this is NEXT week's pic (that means these dudes work ahead!) Anyway, a Merry Christmas spoiler came!

Looky here! A spoiler pic!

I hope everyone is having a pleasant holiday season so far. I sure am. Every morning I wake up to all sorts of adorable fandom gems.

I will miss him so when he either slithers off or dies.

I've had a really amazing birthday this year thanks to fandom. I really can't tell you how wonderful its been to have people from next door to Singapore send me fics and arts to feed my little fetishes. I'm so lucky to have such talented friends that rallied to my pitiful plea for IshiHime fic. I'm tempted to beg online for stuffs again (hey, I could have another birthday in three months! Think anyone would notice?) but I don't want to press my luck.

I'll organize the fic and art thing when I get my act together.... sorry for dragging my ass this month.... it's been fun missing deadlines, though. Being relaxed is something I'm not used to.

Now, THANK YOU CEZ FOR THE WONDERFUL ORIHIME FANART!

Been feeling IchiIshi cravings?

I beta-ed the first part of this ages ago and am so happy to see a continuation.

Yessirree, I'm a talkin about Q.

quaedam  , thanks for making the IshiHime-ness of the week even better!



Meanwhile, feeding another Bleach pairing fancy of mine, shayheyred wrote this snazzy drabble:
follow the meme comments until you find the IchiIshi

Spoiler script is out for 299 over at the manga forum at Bleach Asylum


Don't forget to VOOOOOTE for your three favorite IshiHime fics at this here post
Anonymous may vote. I'll keep bugging you until the deadline.

I know a lot of bleachness members are IshiHime fans. There's a new community for the pairing: arrowsxhairpins



Jackie has a cold so I'm posting her Pr0ntober request early. Feel better, woman. This is a weird little IshiIchi. As always, I didn't get enough sex in here because I got sidetracked by romance or something.

How to be a Happy and Successful Bleach Fan

A friend asked me, “If you could say anything to the Bleach fandom, what would it be?” If? Hey, I’ve got a comm and I’ve got a list!



Fans are all humans, y’know. With white and red corpuscles and families and pets. Interests outside of who’s boinking who in Bleach or whether or not Gin is polysexual or Ulquiorra is a secret woobie.

12. Buy a knock-off figurine on ebay, watch Byakuya dance in the Bleach musicals, learn to sew your own Urahara plushie, eat your pocky and remember that fandom is supposed to be fun.




I drew a picture. IchiIshi again. Two IchiIshis in fact. Fluffs.

Necrophilia


IchiIshi Morning

Don't ask. I don't know what's gotten into me.

Heed warnings. Yaoi, sex with a dead person, angst, mild Hueco Mundo spoilers, maybe inappropriate humor

The usual warning for humorous boysex. A request fic for bordge

Going quickly through my to-do list of fics!  Next up, a romantic IshiHime!

( list )

But first some speculations about pornography:

Porn and literature, literature and porn. Porn AS literature, literature as masturbatory material. The relationship of reader to audience. The relationship of pointy things to slitted things. Everything's legal in print. Not everything's legal in RL. The balance of power between reader and writer is maintained only when writers have enough to eat. Preferably Nachos. All structures collapse, all meanings flourish in a garden of chaos. Meanwhile, in Texas....

I was too sick to write an entry but I was thinking about the above things and how to present them in a two or three paragraph ramble. Sometimes I like reading just the notes in my head. The whole stories are too boring.

Still trying to write sex, obviously.   An NC17 Warning,children, for boysex.

When I get started writing these boys, I can't stop. That's so funny because last year IchiIshi was one of the pairings I thought would never interest me.

Still having problems with the hardcore. And everything I write seems way too long for the Kink Meme.
Be prepared: some fluffiness ahead!



Thanks to parvati4th for the kick to do a sequel.

This was the story I was fussing about when I said I couldn't write hardcore. I've found that I can write detached sex, googly love sex, ordinary lifelike sex, failed premature ejaculation sex, but I still can't write one of those sexy sexy hardcore scenes.

I've been trying all year, maybe longer.

I'm sure I have an inner super-pervert--she's just AWOL

Tis the season for PWPs. More coming soon.

Description: NC17, IchiIshi. PWP. Spontaneity is the issue here, and Ishida’s got something to prove. Written for the March/April Calendar fanfic challenge at IchiIshi on Live Journal

Warnings: Fluffy, puffy, sweet boysex, PWPish skimmable graphic details.

I've got so many little sex scenes to write and so little time this week. More to come. Kissy kissy, tis spring, spring!

Before the fic, a little bit of speculation about 264.


Now the story. It fits in with the rest of the Real Sex series but I have no idea if the little resonances come across. Maybe they don't need to. Whatever....*sigh*

I feel naked sending these things out without a beta. Any corrections or comments very much appreciated. I can't tell if the series is winding down or if I've written all I can write about these two. I'm really in love with them.




More IchiIshi to come, in all likelihood, after I do some promised fics. Got a GinRan, an IchiRuki, and an Arrancar fic in the making, and they don't want to be short fics no matter how much I beat them with the delete key.

Because people gave me some ideas when they commented on part one, I've reworked some things and written a part three. Here comes a part, which ye perverts should know, doesn't have anything explicit in it.

( The yaoi story with the girls ) ETA: Part Three is here

Everyone's going to hate me for this one. Warnings behind the cut. This part is R. I still have to proof part two and will post it soon.
