Then, I realised that I actually don't have a white background, so the interesting thing about the original icon I wanted to put up wouldn't be seen. Plus, one of the icons in storage is a very apt description for October, so I think that would be more relevant.

So today, with more fangirling, I would like to put up the icon by allsundays:


You can get it from the LJ: http://www.livejournal.com/users/allsundays . As there are certain conditions you need to read before using, please do not take from my site.

The by-line is from an Emily Dickenson's poem, Behind Me -- Dips Eternity:
Behind Me -- dips Eternity --
Before Me -- Immortality --
Myself -- the Term between --
Death but the Drift of Eastern Gray,
Dissolving into Dawn away,
Before the West begin --

'Tis Kingdoms -- afterward -- they say --
In perfect -- pauseless Monarchy --
Whose Prince -- is Son of None --
Himself -- His Dateless Dynasty --
Himself -- Himself diversify --
In Duplicate divine --

'Tis Miracle before Me -- then --
'Tis Miracle behind -- between --
A Crescent in the Sea --
With Midnight to the North of Her --
And Midnight to the South of Her --
And Maelstrom -- in the Sky --

To Siu Qey:
2) Ah, I love that part of the movie! In fact, I love the entire movie, but that part is so lovely and so sad... *sniffs*
3) There were, but the English setter is amazingly curly. Also, I realised what was the problem: I was writing a RenRu fic in a IchiRuki manner. More on that later.
4) Ah yes, you entered nearest the whiteboard, because I think Xin Hui was at the computer. If not, I'm sure the situation would have been otherwise.
7) HEY! IchiRuki is so not helpmemaiden side! But to answer your question, I've been reading RenRu fics, and rather enjoying the non-smutty ones (One out of two RenRu fics I read is smutty. o.O Is it something wrong with me?). They are /radically/ different in style from IchiRuki... and yet it's unmistakably Rukia too. One writer summed it up well: Our OTP is loud and noisy. As for other dark sides... I'm mostly there!!! Bwhahaha *waves Ringwraith sword*

About Bleach anime: Do you know which are the subbed versions of Bleach? I'd like to watch a subbed version so I can hear the original seiyuus. But I totally agree with you on the loveliness of the Openings and Endings.

Also, about the 2nd question, I meant about stories.
