I used to be in the Harry Potter fandom (major D/Hr reader, and H/Hr canon shipper), but now I set my two feet in the Bleach fandom for good.

Birthday: January 12th.

Favorite pairings:

- Bleach

1) Byakuya/Rukia

I can't resist a forbidden love. This pairing is my obsession, I love it so much! (I believe you can tell looking at my fics below, they are all byaruki!). And of course it is not incest. Two things would create a sibling relationship: sharing blood and growing up together. They have neither. Their relationship is just something weird, clumsy and interesting.

I do not believe in it in canon, though. I do think there's something in the air there, but I'm almost sure it will never be explored further, so that's my main reason to write this pairing, instead of ichiruki.

2) Hichigo/Rukia (+ Ichiruki, since they always come together)

We all know it's there inside him, and hichiruki is just so hot. I'm a fan of dark tales, and these are bound to be of this kind. As for ichiruki, I'm an ichiruki fan in canon. Hardcore. I think it's pretty clear they like each other and I do think it will develop in the series. If they don't end up together, I'll cry. But as I expect it to happen, it doesn't inspire my muse too much.

3) I'm also a big fan of Rukia/Gin, and Rukia-espadas in general. Honestly, I read Rukia with almost everyone, except Renji I think, unless it's only one-sided. I do think Renji loves her, but I'm pretty sure it's unrequited, just like Orihime's. So yeah, I basically read fics with Rukia, can you tell she is my favorite Bleach character? ;) I do read some Orihime+Aizen/Ulquiorra/Grimmjow from time to time, but don't come anywhere near me with an ichihime fic or i'll kill you, I'm very disgusted by this pairing. What else? Hmm I'm not a fan of yaoi, but it doesn't bother me. It's just... meh. Maybe I'm a weird girl.

I must warn, however, that I am a complicated reader. I don't like songfics, I don't like AUs, with a very few exceptions (previously warned as AU, everybody very IC, etc..), I'm not fond of fics that deal too much with the living world instead of soul society, I'm not too fond of yaoi and I will probably not read badly written/ formatted fics unless the plot really impresses me. I also don't like to see Ichigo and Byakuya in the same fic, because I love both byaruki and ichiruki too much. I prefer to read them separetely in different moments, byaruki in SS, ichiruki with the setting in the very beggining of the series, so this is what I usually write and read. Yeah, I'm weird like that. On the bright side, I love fics with defined plots, intimate moments full of unresolved tension (for both byaruki and ichiruki) and lots of subtlety. I'm also a big fan of dark stories (therefore, my preference for hichiruki stories, ginruki and rukiaxespadas in general).

Unfortunately, Bleach fandom is not as large as the HP fandom, and we definitely could use more fics, especially more byaruki and hichiruki ones! I'm trying to contribute with some myself, but I wish I was a good writer as I am an avid reader. My contributions follow below.

- Inuyasha

1) Sesshoumaru/Kagome

2) Inuyasha/Kagome

3) Naraku/Kagome/Kikyo/Kagura

Any relation to my Bleach pairings? Nah... ;)

Now, being the obssessed fan that I am of Rukia and her nii-sama, I'd like to share with you some little things I thought/noticed lately:

1) Have you noticed that Yoruichi and Rurichiyo are both called hime (princess) in the series? And that they have exactly the same position as Byakuya does? (Heir of their noble house) So theorically, he should be considered a prince too (ouji), but I guess Kuchiki-taichou wouldn't like to be called that way. XD

2) Byakuya mentions the Kuchiki clan is the oldest of all noble houses (that probably explains why they seem to have more prestige and are even more strict than the others).

3) When Rukia is in jail, talking to Renji about how she thinks her brother won't save her, the correct translation of her words is something like "he never looked at me in all these years" as in, he avoids to look at her (chapter 59, pg 9). Suspicious, imo...

4) Something I just found out: Rukia's voice actress (aka seiyuu) also dubbed Hisana! Amazing uh? I thought they sounded so different... but maybe it's cause Hisana speaks a lot softer, especially on her deathbed. But poor Byakuya, they even have the same voice. That doesn't help in the least..

I could add a thousand things to explain why I'm sure there's something between the two of them, but I do that in my livejournal instead, so feel free to visit it.

As for my stories, a brief resumee:

First of all, they're all byaruki.. for now. This is the pairing inspiring my muse atm, nothing I can do about it.

Power and Duty - my first byaruki fic, basically I wanted to explore the life of nobility on Seireitei (and in general), using the forced married plot, which I like. On-going.

Toys - my second byaruki fic, it was written as a one-shot to include this idea I had since the first chapters of Bleach, when I first saw Rukia using.. yeah, you got it, no spoilers. The style is a little different, one I use since my early teens.

The Price of Memories - continuation of Toys, cause you guys asked so. Prepare yourself for more angst, romance and the same poetic-prose style (hopefully). On-going.

Mystery in the Night - The first of my "Dance, Rukia" fics. lol I like to dance, I like that her zanpakutou uses dances, and it was one of those plot bunnies that wouldn't leave me alone until I wrote it. Finished, yay!

Gift - a dark tale, inspired by Aizen and his curious zanpakutou. Yes, my mind is dirty like that. Therefore, it contains my favorite villanic rukia ship - ginruki. Still byaruki, though. On hold for now.

To Have her Back - inspired by a convo I had with my cousin, who is not so much into Bleach, unfortunately, but still contributed to our favorite pairing. I wanted to write something lighter, and isn't Rukia adorable when embarassed? On-going.

A Meeting in the Past - Just a smaller story for me to write. Inspired by a request (of them not knowing it was the other...), I just used it as a good excuse to put a gueixa!Rukia and her irresistible nii-sama in such a situation. Bound to be another of my "Dance, Rukia" fics bwahaha. On-going.

Thirst - Inspired by a very hot byaruki pic by Punkycoolkat. Just having fun here with this crazy plot... again, just another excuse for hot!vampire!byakuya...

I have a livejournal, where I usually post my fics and/or talk about them or things Bleach-related. It's also a place for you to poke me for taking to long to update too. lol So feel free to add me and write me, share your opinions or rec anything. Anonymous posts are allowed, so you don't need an account. It's http://winn-12.livejournal.com/

I hope you enjoy my stories!

Ja ne!

P.S (Sep 7th, 2009): I just asked for some opinions on A Meeting in my livejournal. It might be a little weird, but I think I need a beta for it. Any volunteers?
