I posted this at Fanfiction.net last night. Might as well upload it to this site, too. Also, this is really the first chapter in the set of stories with this title. The one I posted it last is the fourth.

Title: Dreams and Fears, Chapter One
Rating: T
Summary: Whether or not the bizarre events Ichigo went through were dreamed or not, the fear he felt of losing Rukia was definitely real.
Series: Bleach
Genre: General, this time.

Another week. Another story. Oh yeah. And this one took me far longer to complete than the last (which only took a day) and its word count is OVER NINE THOUSAND!

What?! NINE THOUSAND?!

Yes, NINE THOUSAND!

...It's awesome how every word I type here makes it even more greater than NINE THOUSAND. Well, time to do that thing with the title and summary. Yes, I know its title is not a real word.

Title: Impurification
Rating: This story is not suitable for those not awesome enough to be over the age of twelve.
Summary: Endlessly, she dips her hands into the water, slowly turning the liquid black. She believes she's cleanses wounds, but all she does is spread the dark taint. What this girl does is not healing.
Series: More Bleach. Yay!
Genre: Some call it angst. I call it drama since I think it's more general than that.

Gather around, everyone; time for a story destined to be unread.

Title: Battling a Fate You Can Never Defeat
Rating: T despite what I put at Fanfiction.net
Summary: You've got to be crazy. You gotta have a real need, if you hope to destroy reason and defeat a monster like Aizen. Believe Ichigo. He knows from hard-earned experience. The key is to never give up...
Series: Boring ol' Bleach
Genre: I dunno. Maybe some people will get a few laughs out of this. Isn't it up to other people, not me, to decide what's funny?

The Big Conspiracy

I delayed in posting this one. Not because I was posting my stories in order. No. That's what I wanted you to think. I know you're thinking that I know that you know that I know that pretending not to know that I know everyone knows I just like confusing people by knowing various ways of saying things that I know in the most stupid way I know just so you won't know what I'm talking about. No. No. No. This one was withheld because I had to tell everyone what a big scam this story was. One million dollars big.

Yeah. One million dollars.

That's how much I spent on bribes to get this story to second place for a doujin at a contest. Yes. I'm coming out in the flesh. Geez. Don't look so frightened, this is just a passing phase. One of my bad days. It may be hard to believe, but it's nothing but the truth. Now, the natural response to this would be: Why not just use a fraction of that money to simply buy that doujin? Or lots of doujins? Or better yet, commission people to scanlate a whole lot of doujins? But can't you see? That is the genius. Nobody could possibly imagine somebody being so stupid. Ergo, there's no way I could get caught. Even now, the devious device is working, telling you...nay, fooling you, into thinking I'm posting a bunch of dumb gibberish. I can tell the truth to the whole world and no one will believe me! Ha ha ha ha ha ha! Truth be told, I find myself choking on a pill too big to swallow.

The other question, the less natural, per say, would by...Why not go for first place in that contest? Or to find myself a sweet getaway on an island by the river? Heh. To explain myself, I'll use the masses' words. Like they say, colorless green ideas sleep furiously. Ah, I guess that isn't the best way to put it. Hmmm. It's more like the above paragraph. Deception. Confusion. That sort of thing. Not doing what people expect. Because everyone expects the cheater to aim for top prize. To rob the big bank, not swipe the old lady's purse. After all, setting off the perfect plan without a hitch is nigh impossible, but to pull off the imperfect plan perfectly is nigh ludicrous.

Is anybody out there?

No. Excellent. Good to know I can still scare people away with a loaded point of insanity.

Title: Operation: Cupid's Quincy Arrow
Rating: "T" for "Testosterone-fueled-hotbloodedness"
Summary: When Orihime decided to play Cupid and bring two hearts together, she never expected a certain Quincy might be aiming his arrow at somebody else. Can her mission still be accomplished or was it doomed from the very beginning?
Series: The one that's named after that Nirvana album
Genre: Hurt/ Comfort. Or: You will laugh so hard it will hurt you and that will comfort me.

It's weird splitting my story in two. I imagine this is how a parent must feel when they split one of their babies in two. You know, terrible, because now they're going to have twins and raising two children at once is very difficult.


Title: Spinal Accord, Part Two
Rating: "M," for....you know what, this is really a "T" for "Too-chicken-to-post-this-under-the-rating-I-feel-it-is-because-I-fear-the-psycho-mods-at-FF.net"
Summary: Finally, Shinji gets a proper backbone! Unfortunately, he doesn't quite know what to do with it.
Series: Neon Genesis Evangelion
Genre: Only humor. Only humor! No, I'm not in denial! There's no way I threw in any romance into this! If you seriously believe that I did, you're imagining things.

Perk up that backbone with the Takeda Pharmaceutical's Orthopedic Spinal Adjustment Brace!

God damn, that felt good!

Simply writing out this entry's overly long title has revived me from the depression caused by posting my least favorite story. Aww yeah. It's my personal favorite so far--and my longest, too--"Spinal Accord!" Out of everything I've written, this is the only one I can truly call "exceptional." No, not because it's good! Ha ha ha ha ha! No, because it's the only thing I've done that isn't Bleach-related.

Title: Spinal Accord, Part One
Rating: "M," for "More-badass-than-a-teen-rating-could-handle!"
Summary: Finally, Shinji gets a proper backbone! Unfortunately, he doesn't quite know what to do with it.
Series: Neon Genesis Evangelion
Genre: Pure humor. I don't even pretend that there's romance, unlike what George Lucas did in his Star Wars prequels.

Really, I don't like this story. I don't even want to spend time to make up new commentary for it about how bad it is.

Title: All I want for my birthday is...
Rating: "T" for Suck, which doesn't even make sense
Summary: The presents are rolling in as Ichigo’s birthday kicks off. Yet, somebody appears to have forgotten about the special occasion. Someone important.
Series: Bleach
Genre: That nameless genre for stories that aren't good

On Making Jokes that Nobody Understands but Me and Really Long Titles

Wow. I know some people put in a lot of work to make their banners look awesome, but mine is a step above. It's all grey...and...dark grey...and light grey. So much color...Combining these colors just so was a very painstaking process that involved me picking out a default scheme, then clicking on a button.

...While I am proud of my Spartan (300! Kick ASS!) designs, it seems my font sizes are getting messed up by the way I copy-and-paste my stories from Fanfiction.net to LiveJournal.com. For those whose eyes have been hurt by this, please take solace in the fact that my eyesight is really horrible. And shame on you for being comforted by someone else's pain.

Now, for Part Three!

Title: On the Death and Dying of Youth
Rating: "T," for "Trying-to-appeal-to-a-younger-audience"
Summary: Confronted with an unwanted realization, Ichigo attempts to preserve the status quo and to avoid his death...to no avail.
Series: The story is original, except for the characters and plot I shamelessly stole from Bleach.
Genre: Retro pre-apocalyptic tragedy underneath an eastern watermelon dew.

Rukiaism

Yes, the entries continue. One is not enough. Not when I've written more than one story. Indeed, I've written seven whole stories.  Alas, I have yet to get my readership that high (that currently sits at about two or three). My lack of audience aside, it's time for the story I shelled out the most money to get people to review at that other site I post my stories at.

...But calling this a story isn't quite right...No...It's more a proclamation. Gospel, if you will, for her Holiness. It doesn't ask you to join her religion, per say, but there is a slight chance Her followers will find you, corner you, and curb stomp you to death if you don't read this very soon and convert to Her will.

Title: Rukiaism
Rating: "T," for "Too-good-for-those-under-the-age-of-thirteen"
Summary: People! Have you heard of the one true Goddess? She is short, has black hair, likes rabbits, and is, well, the embodiment of perfection! Listen to her gospel and join the religion devoted to Rukia Kuchiki.
Series: Naruto...Just kidding, it's Bleach!
Genre: Humor/ Romance, though it's not funny and it has no romantic scenes in it.

Finally, I figured I may as well use this journal and post my stories. Don't expect me to write anything personal here. I have never kept any logs of what I've done in my life and don't plan to ever start.

Title: I Scream!
Rating: It's "M" for some reason. I guess because of violence or something.
Summary: Horror, surrealism, blood. Read this short story if you dare. But, please...try not to scream.
Series: Bleach
Genre: Pretty general
