Bleach fic contest

The mods and I have decided to put this community on a temporary hiatus.

This is due to the lack of participants in round 1 and 2. There's no point in making another round if no one participates. The winter months are really slow fandom-wise, so we all decided it best to go on a hiatus until mid-May, when most people are out of school. Maybe this will mean more entries in the future.

No other posts will be made in this community until then.

We'll see everyone again in May! :)

Since there aren't any entries for round 2, I'm extending the deadline to December 31st.

Sorry for the delay, finals are coming up, so everyone is busy.

Submissions for round 2 are now being accepted!

Here is the format for submissions:



Simply copy, paste, and fill out the info on your entry post. All fanfiction entries must be under an LJ-cut.

This is the prompt for round 2:

"We all wear masks and the time comes when we cannot remove them without removing our own skin."- André Berthiaume

Note: This round's minimum word requirement is 400 words, instead of the usual 600.

Please keep in mind:

Round #: One

A/N: I finished this right on time(11:56, PST)! This is the second fic I write of these two, so I'm still a bit nervous(I'm not counting drabbles:P), so I hope I did them some justice. This turned into a somewhat AU version of the story from "Unmasked." I've also taken the liberty of changing the dialogue from the translation, so I hope everyone is okay with that.:) Also, it's the first time I try my hand at using Japanese honorifics, so if I got something wrong, please let me know!
