Feb. 10th, 2011 12:02 pmUnacceptable. I am not treating this end chapter of xxxHolic as canon till you do better.
I wasn't even like "whoo! Douwata!" because of course I knew they weren't going to do that. I'm not really "whoo!" anybody for this series, I just wanted a GOOD solid piece of closure, but this wasn't even a good piece of storytelling. It was creative, I'll give you that. But it wasn't solid, it didn't wrap things up well. You owe the story that, at least, even if you're understandably burned out from writing the same manga for years. (
You know what? I'm actually excited to write xxxHolic fic now. Because I am encouraged to treat this story better, explore its universe and characters further, and give it a better (happier, sadder, funnier, WHATEVER) but a BETTER ending.
Lift your chin, fandom! Get out there and show CLAMP how it's done!

I've never run a fest before, but I've been planning out the structure. I guess one bit will be prompt-posting, and the next bit will be prompt claiming. And somehow I'll be using tags to sort the prompts more easily. I'm guessing by character? I'm not sure.
I suppose I could talk to the douwata admin, see if she has any advice about it. I'm also not sure how much work I would have to do after the initial setup. I would have to post an invite to all the holic comms, wouldn't I? I don't have a HUGE amount of time on my hands, but I think it would go smoothly if I set it up correctly.
What do you think?
