Ooh, cool XD~

Ha ha, this isn't really making me like CLAMP more .__.

...That's really sad XD; Isn't the X fandom died out by now, though? XD; ~~and I do a similar thing for all the fandoms I get into, CLAMP or not. XD;~~

XD;; I know~ I'm doing an absolutely terrible job here. Because I do like the fandom, but I hate it, too. XDDD;;; *lame* But! It's not nearly as bad as I'm making it out to be, I promise!

Anyway, no, the X fandom is still alive - just kinda quietly. None of the comms are really used anymore, I think most of it is just--you know, flist stuff. But I wouldn't say it's dead.

Although I think I'm one of only about ten people that actually write fic for it anymore. >__>

Nah, that's basically the same way I feel towards the Tsubasa fandom now. People get shot down for saying they dislike ____, and apparently a lot of Sakura-hating and wtfever. xD; I just look on at the sidelines and hope it dies down quickly .__. xxxHolic is better anyhow! *SHOT*

Everyone still waiting for CLAMP to EVER start x/1999 again? XD

XDD I think the fandom's pretty much given up hope X will ever be finished. I actually like it better this way - it gives me the freedom to muck around pretty much however I want with the ending. XDD "I can kill him! And spare her! And no one can say it's wrong!"

Honestly, I never got into Tsubasa. I read the first three volumes because I am a hopeless fangirl *waves at icon*, but after that I only poked in occasionally for the X crossovers. XD I didn't get into xxxHolic, either - apparently I'm a Bad Fan. XD

Hah, CLAMP's just figuring 'errr mess, let's start anew'? XDb Hah, that sounds like a good solution. If I had my way with Tsubasa, NOBODY WOULD DIE but since it's a CLAMP title I suppose one must perish for the angst. Bahhh. XD

Baaaad fan. Capital B. I read both, but only because the two stories are getting entwined now and it'd be confusing if you were following one and not the other. xxxHolic is TOTALLY different from Tsubasa though, I'd honestly suggest to try it out, if only for Yuuko and Watanuki. ♥

XD I know, I know.

I think I actually did read all of Holic that's been released so far. I just... found it really, really boring. And didn't like the characters. And the art style was too plain (which is of course subjective, but). And I found the mandatory crossover really pretentious of CLAMP - you know, "you have to read both series to enjoy either one."

I don't begrudge the people that do like it, but... I don't think I'll ever be one. XD

Aww. XD Well, I can't hold it against you, different tastes for everyone, I suppose. xD I just loved Watanuki, and the whole focus on Watanuki's emotions instead of actions wasn't as grating to me as it was in Tsubasa, where the focus was supposed to be on the action.

tl;dr- it doesn't pretend to be more than it is. It's just a cute little series, although what's happening currently has me going 'wtf CLAMP'. XDb I'm curious, though.

The only character I really couldn't care less about is Doumeki. I get that he's almost-canon for Watanuki but... he's so... BORING. XD

*laugh* I'm pretty much a failure CLAMP fan in general. I'm well aware of their flaws and don't hesitate to point them out; I've read all their series but only actually like one - and even in X, I only really like two characters and the rest I can take or leave.

I don't know what it was about Holic - on one hand I can see why people would like it, on the other... nothing seemed to happen, and the characters were all really flat and boring to me. I kept waiting for something to happen to make it as cool as everyone keeps assuring me it is, and it never did. Which is kinda like, whatever, I don't really care - but then I see all this wank when people DARE to dislike a character from Holic or something and I get kinda scared. XDD

Haa, I'll give it another swing then, but the shippers do scare me to pieces. XD;

Haa, yes, I keep waiting for something MORE to happen too. And like, now it's finally happening, and it's in that incomprehensible CLAMP way that makes you wait 10+ chapters before realising what was really going on. XD; But still, I think it holds a lot more promise than Tsubasa, and Watanuki is just cuuuuute. XD Even if he is a total cardboard cut-out at times.

XDDD There's wank over people disliking a character? Oh, like Himawari? I think most people chalk that up to 'gets in the way of Doumeki/Watanuki OTP' xD; Even when you have a good basis on which you dislike her, obviously the underlying cause is 'omg she stop DouWata', even... if she pretty much seems to encourage it herself. o_0; (For the record, I totally adore her XD)

It actually was Himawari wank, but in the opposite direction - someone posted in a CLAMP comm and mentioned in passing something like, "I think she's boring and unimportant to the story as a whole," and her defenders got really scarily bitchy in "sticking up for her."

It was totally immature and I was just .____. the whole time. The OP wasn't wanky, mind - just stating an opinion. Is that really worth flaming her about? Oy.

Again, I can see why people like Holic, I just... don't get it. And I admit it also gets a little annoying to see it praised in the typical CLAMP "BEST THING EVER CLAMP IS GODDDDD FOREVER" way - although they do that for everything. XD CLAMP tries to be deep, but they really aren't. I wish fandom would learn that. XD

Egh, I hate that too. I mean, you can feel that way just fine, don't push people into liking her simply because it's your view, as it will only have the opposite effect. xD;

Haha, yeah, that is my main beef with CLAMP, I think. Their idea of making everything deep and profound is by creating something so incomprehensible that it requires massive discussion to even figure out wtf just happened. Fay's backstory... I admit, it was angsty, but hnnrg, why can't they just tell a story without being totally enigmatic about it all?
