fandom and infamy since 1999

My hand, as the saying goes, slipped. 

Nothing there yet but the splash and a very slightly updated about page--it’s been TWENTY THREE years since we first posted some Ronin Warrior fanfic on geocities, hard as that is to believe. I hope to add more to neocities, maybe a retro version of bishink as it appeared in the days of the Infamous FF8 Arc. But right now I’m still recovering from finally getting caught by covid after leading it on a merry chase all this time, and tire out pretty fast. To my abiding annoyance. 

Anyway! There it is, such as it is! Please feel free to add it to your neocities list, if you have one.

Archive Move to Ao3!

This is just a quick update to say that over the next month I’m going to start moving the entirety of our Archive (including some missing late entries but maybe not some of the oldest stuff for quality reasons) over to Ao3! It’s going to be slow and sporadic probably so bear with us as we make this move of 20+ years of writing! www.bishink.org will remain up for now (and probably for a while!) but fic on websites is a relic of a bygone era, and Ao3 will get our stories to new readers as well as old readers who may have been unable to find us elsewhere. If you have any questions or suggestions about the move or particular stories you want to make sure wind up there, let me know!

the most wonderful time

Long-term readers of our fic might have noticed that it’s December 4 and as yet there is not hide nor hair of the traditional bishink.org advent calendar! Not to worry, it’s not canceled, it’s just going to be a little different this year. Since this weekend coming is AUSA followed immediately by two of our chocobros tying the knot in Disney World, things have been somewhat hairy! (Also this weekend just past, my parents thought it would be fun to come spend the weekend! here! right as I’m trying to finish all the costumes and prep for this! So in addition to losing my most critical construction weekend I had like three days’ notice to clean my ‘new’ house (I have lived here four years) which they had not seen yet. Because they haven’t come to see me in like 8 years and this was the one weekend they picked.) But everything’s fiiiine it’s fine totally fine! and that twitch should go away eventually.

If you’re going to AUSA in DC this weekend, say hi! Cosplays are Prompto and, god willing, Bart from Xenogears. If the latter is a bit slapdash you can blame my parents. I know I will.

Advent fic will happen after we return, and may even feature some special guest stars. ❤️

“Sorry to take so long, this idiot was trying to make me a father.” Gladio put Ignis back on the bar stool where he sank down, gently smiling, with his head on the bar. “What’s so funny? You drinking without us?”

“Excuse me,” Prompto said, mock-affronted. “We, sir, are high on life.”

“And an entire bottle of tequila,” Noct added.

“And an entire bottle of–” Prompto did a double-take. “Aww, is it gone? That means we have to go do our hunt.”

Noct stared at him. “Our hunt.”

Prompto nodded. “Yes, our hunt.”

“Rogue pack of flans.” Ignis’ voice was muffled as he left his face on the bar, but his arms still worked as he pointed vaguely in the direction of the road out of town. “Or meringues. I don’t think they’ve been baked. So probably a flan. Not pudding. Anything can be a pudding. Proper pudding isn’t squashy, you know. It’s drunk. Like me. Because of the brandy. And full of raisins. Not like me. Can’t stand the ghastly things. And why in the name of all that’s sacred can’t you find suet anymore at even the most respectable grocers?” He sat up suddenly with a gasp. “Gelatins! That’s what they are!”

“Why do we have a hunt I am drunk,” Noct demanded, taking Prompto by the vest lapels. “You! You suggested this! We could have been looking at spoons!”

Running Down a Dream: Chapter 26 - Payday

[bishonenink]

In case you're not following my TnK tumblr and you like my work, here's your update that I've been writing like gangbusters for the past month-ish. I have an ongoing FFXV fic/series with 26 episodes so far, a side series to that for the M-rating crowd (featuring Noct and Prompto ruining the Lestallum hotel pool's water), and three chapters of a big sprawly FF8/FF15 crossover. I'm posting something on Ao3 on average every other day, barring weekends.

These times don't come along often. You're invited.

Lord of the Rings

Our Longest Darkness, by llamajoy. Boromir in the Golden Hall of Rohan for the longest night of the year.

And this is the end of our advent calendar this year! We hope you've enjoyed reading along. We wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and yours! 

Now, I’m going to make myself a drink.

Songbirds of Valnon

Look to the Sky, by Tenshi

My last entry for the calendar this year, as Joy will see out Advent tomorrow. I’ve failed in a lot of promises to myself this year, but this was one I desperately wanted to keep. I haven’t forgotten. Here’s to a better new year for all of us.

[bishonenink]

Something different from llamajoy today! It involves all the kings of Rohan, and dragons, and was a year in the making. Or perhaps I should say, in the breeding.

Saint Seiya

Frozen - by Tenshi

(If I could melt your heart, we’d never be apart)

[bishonenink]

Makai Ouji: Devils and Realist

The Baffled King - by llamajoy

It goes like this: the fourth, the fifth, the minor fall, the major lift

[bishonenink]

Yuu Yuu Hakusho

A Snowball’s Chance - By Tenshi. (It’s 2016, and I just wrote some new Koenma/Yuusuke. I guess hell finally froze over.)

[bishonenink]

Xenogears

No Such Thing As Strangers - llamajoy

Primera Black doesn’t yet know that she’s just met her family’s past. (Posted today in spite of us being in a minor automobile accident! Joy’s a trooper, I was ready to give her a pass but she wouldn’t have it.)

Final Fantasy VII

In Tempest, Storm, and Wind - by Tenshi

There’s no room at the Nibelheim Inn.

[bishonenink]

Ninjago

One Is Silver, the Other Gold - by llamajoy

Make new friends, but keep the old (henchmen)

Ace Attorney

Naughty or Nice - by Tenshi

Sometimes the holidays can drive us to give in to baser urges. ^_~

Star Wars: Alternate Universe

A Star’s Light Did Fall, by llamajoy. (in a universe where strong and sensible senators do not simply die of grief, and the dearest of handmaidens are not simply forgotten, and fallen Jedi do not become monsters overnight.)

[bishonenink]

Marvel Universe

The Ones I Used to Know - by Tenshi

Bucky and Steve know that nostalgia isn’t what it used to be. (Author Note: So one time in a book store I picked up a book published in EIGHTEEN FIFTY EIGHT in which the author bewailed for like seven pages that Christmas wasn’t what it used to be, it had become way too materialistic and busy. So we have all been doing this song and dance for like TWO CENTURIES NOW.)

Ronin Warriors / Samurai Troopers

Whatever’s in Between - by llamajoy. Rowen and Sage and the bells of New York City.
