In which sentiments are expressed

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!
