Ichiruki Comment-a-thon

And so, even our strategic extension of the Commentathon comes to a end!

Just like before, you can send us your completed spreadsheets (which can be downloaded here) to this e-mail address:

[email protected]

Remember to identify yourself with your username when contacting us!

We will be accepting submissions until February 9th - which means that you have an entire week to send in your forms!

Please don’t hesitate to join in just because you think your lists may be too short! There is no minimum number of comments to be met for participating in the event, and we will gladly accept any contribution that you may choose to send us.

As always, should you have any problems or doubts, please let us know.

Only three days to go, folks! :D

Our extension of the Ichiruki Commentathon will end on January 31st - which means that you still have three whole days left to participate in the event.

If you are looking for something to read, remember that we have many recs available in our blog! Also, take a look at our Saint Lucy’s Day challenge for inspiration: leaving a review on a fic with zero comments is a sure-fire way to make someone very happy!

Finally, don’t forget to check Ao3 and fanfiction.net for all of the latest Ichiruki stories: new writers and new fics are always in need of encouragement and support!

As always, details about the event and prizes can be found here - while instructions on how to send us your spreadsheet can be found here.

Aaaand, it’s a wrap, folks! :D

.....or at least, it would be - if not for the fact that, while we do have our top three commenters, we unfortunately didn’t receive enough submissions to give out all our prizes.

It was very kind of our fandom artists to agree to draw something for the winners of the Commentathon - and it would be a pity to waste their generosity by allowing some of the prizes to go unclaimed.

Which is exactly why we have decided to postpone the deadline of the event until the end of January!

If you’ve followed us until now but have for some reason refrained from commenting - either due to a lack of time or out of the belief that you couldn’t possibly win - please consider taking the time to leave a few reviews on your favourite IchiRuki fics, and sending us your list of comments!

How to send us your spreadsheets

We are extremely thankful to everyone who liked and reblogged our posts and helped to spread word of the event! ♥

Throughout all of December, people have been nothing if not supportive and encouraging of our efforts - and this despite how busy and hectic the festive period always is. Unfortunately, the craziness of the month may have prevented many people from participating fully in the Commentathon - after all, reading and commenting takes time!

We’re hopeful that, by extending the duration of the event until January 31st, we will receive enough submissions to finally assign all our prizes - and have a very IchiRuki-filled start of the decade, with lots of wonderful new art!

In the meantime, we would like to extend our most sincere CONGRATULATIONS to our top three commenters!

@dreamedsilverwings

@ichirukilover

@guacamayasreborn

Thank you for expressing your love and gratitude to so many great writers, and for giving them such a lovely present to warm their hearts during the holiday season! ♥

Let the festivities continue, folks!

The submission deadline is quickly approaching, everyone! :D

Thank you to all those who have already submitted their spreadsheets.

If you haven't gotten around to submitting your comment lists yet, you still have four whole days to do so! The spreadsheet can be downloaded here, while details about the submission period can be found here.

Please don’t hesitate to submit your lists just because you think they may be too short! There is no minimum number of comments to be met for participating in the event - and submissions have been sparse for now, so we are eagerly awaiting your contributions! 

You can send your spreadsheets directly to our inbox, or to this e-mail address:

[email protected]

(Remember to tell us your tumblr username in the mail!)

A Happy New Decade to everyone in the fandom!  :D

We’re so, so thankful to every single one of you for participating in this first edition of the IchiRuki Commentathon.

Everything you’ve done in this last month to support the event - be it commenting on fics, reccing stories or even simply promoting our posts - has helped us to make this Commentathon a success, and consequently to give the amazing writers of our fandom some much needed love!

Now comes the time to see the fruits of your labour.

Make sure that your spreadsheet is in order, and then send it either to our inbox or to this e-mail address:

[email protected]

Remember to tell us your tumblr username!

We will be accepting your submissions until January 12th, and then (after a little time to sort through all the spreadsheets) announce the winners of the event!

Should you have any problems or doubts about how to submit your comments, please let us know: we’re always glad to help!

So here we are, at the end ot the month AND the decade!

We hope that everyone will have a great time today, and also a wonderful start of the New Year. ♥

It’s December 13th! ✨

You know what this means, everyone?

Well, apart from it being yet another Friday the 13th, of course.

Today is Saint Lucy's Day!

A feast widely considered to be a festival of light, due to the fact that Saint Lucy was a young girl bringing light in the midst of darkness. Just as our dear Rukia does for Ichigo - something the manga makes abundantly clear and Kubo himself clearly stated way back in 2008:

She had her full name from the very beginning. Later on, I learned that the word "Rukia" means "light." She's like a ray of light for Ichigo, which makes the name really suit her.

So, on the occasion of the feast day of Rukia’s namesake, we have a special challenge for you all!

Be the light to someone’s darkness.

Find a fic with ZERO comments, and be the first to bring that author some joy.

Finding fics with no comments on both Ao3 and FF is super-easy!

Just sort the fics by number of comments/number of reviews, and voilà! You’ll simply have to go to the last few pages to spread some love!

Here’s yet another rec list for your reading pleasure!

Chappy Days by junko ( Ao3 )
