A while ago I announced to the Ichi_Ruki fandom that I was working on a major IchiRuki project: The IchiRuki Anthology FST.
So without further ado, here is the introduction:
The IchiRuki Anthology FST [or IRAF, because Jazzy is a lazy person who doesn't like writing long titles repeatedly] is an FST with a collection of songs that are dedicated to the Bleach pairing of Ichigo Kurosaki and Rukia Kuchiki. Unlike other FSTs however, for every song that is on the FST, there is a fic written to the lyrics. Every one of these fics is written by me. I've labored over them and killed myself over them and I find it incredibly amazing that I, at this point, do not hate this ship yet, just because of the misery it is putting me through. Nevertheless, this is my dedication to the IchiRuki fandom.
Title of FST: The Rains of June
Date of Release: Beginning June 14, 2007 [International Sea Turtle Day]
Number of tracks (fics): Between 18-20
How will it be released?: I will be releasing works from this project one at a time, one per day. It will take a little over 2 weeks to completely finish releasing. The final product, meaning the zip file for everything, including cover, songs, fics, lyrics, author notes, and extras, will be included then on the last day.
Where will this be released?: This project will be available for you in three places: This journal [
overtoned], my writing journal [
abitofvineger], and the official site for this FST on its own special website that I have yet to put up.
What will the releases include?: Every day there will be the fic for that day, the link to the song that is featured in the fic, the link to the lyrics to that song, and an author's note on the side.
While writing the IRAF, I had to take out many pieces from fics when they didn't fit, or ruined the general coherency. I liked those fragments so I saved them on the side as a Deleted Scenes feature. From now until the official release date of the IRAF, there will be a deleted scene every Friday posted on
overtoned,
abitofvineger, and the website [as soon as it's up].
This serves as a promotional device as well as my occasional notice to the world that I'm still alive and kicking. There will be links up on the regular Bleach fandom LJs.
YES PLEASE HELP ME OH FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!
Here's how:
1) I am still in desperate desperate need of songs to add to the FST. If you can provide me with songs [either youtube links or sendspace], along with lyrics, that would be made of amazing.
2) Graphics! Note my excessive formatting! If you can make graphics of any sort, whether it'd be icons, banners, promotional buttons, or just GRAPHICS in general for this project, I will love you times a LOT.
3) Prompt me. A word, a phrase, a quote, a picture, a scenario, anything. There are only so many fics I can write on one pairing in 2 months before I feel like I'm repeating myself over and over again. Please prompt me!
4) Inspiration? My greatest inspiration for writing comes from reading other people's fics. If you happen to pass by any good Bleach fics, please link them to me here?
5) Say hi? I get so lonely online sometimes... [is addicted to the webnet and is pathetic.]
Thank you for taking the time to read this. The first Deleted Scene comes out tomorrow. =)
