Crit goes here! Comments are screened until I reply to them, after which I will leave them unscreened (unless you specifically ask me to rescreen your comments for you.) Note: I generally do not accept criticism on inter-character relationships unless said crit is using the relationship to explain a deeper characterization flaw. I will gladly explain anything you like! But I do kind of get irked when people say "I liked this relationship better in canon" or "you're making this dynamic too fast/slow/mushy/whatever" unless it's like. Really extreme and OOC.

Okay! I have spent a very, very long time making these icons. Just ask my castmates, sooob. They had to put up with me the whole two months I waited to app him. CFUD also has this tendency to have its icons ~mysteriously show up~ on other character journals, with no credit or note or anything. I know they're just icons, but I would rather upset if that happened to me.

... however! I am all for sharing my icons with other people. Especially if I know that you're using them. And I know there's at least one Watanuki player out there who's asked to borrow my icons. ILU Panda~ So here's the deal. If you want to use my icons, you may! But I would ask that you a) credit this journal somewhere (preferably in the icon comments, if only 'cause that's where I look first), and b) drop me a line here saying that you're using them. Heck, I'll prep a .zip file for you so you can have them all in one shot, if you like.

Hopefully that didn't sound too ego-y. I just want to share! And not have to be angry at people.

AHHH HOLIC THIS WEEK

Happily, the language was faaairly simple this time around, so I just sat down and translated it.

( WHEEHA spoilers )

This is Watanuki. I swear for the rest of forever that I will make America hamburgers without argument. I will also give everyone hugs that asks for them.

Um. Also, did I mention I'll make hamburgers forever?

Right! This promise is in effect.... now.

Also, I swear I won't delete this entry.

Also, this is totally Watanuki and not fake.

ETA: DISREGARD THIS, America sucks >(

... I like Kyou's idea. |D Like she said, this poll is for anyone! Old relationships you want to do a new thread with, new characters you'd like to arrange a meeting with, following up a good first impression, anything in between. Also, if you happen to have a thread that you can link me with, I will happily jump you at some point today/this weekend. (And if not, I'll still keep an eye out for you. :|d)

Poll #1388930 Threading poll~

Current lineup: Ishida, Mal, Kurogane, Shinjiro, Watanuki, Ginko, and Devin.

So! Newtype had a big 20th anniversary CLAMP entry this week, which included character rankings for all of CLAMP's characters. (Un?)surprisingly, Watanuki has the top spot. Which means he gets a fabulous, awesome new picture together with Mr. #6, Doumeki...

( cut for WOW WATANUKI, YOU'RE LOOKING KIND OF... )

[from here! this is mostly for continuations, but if you missed the thread and wanted to bawww with clonuki, go for it!]

Secret Santa~ Sneaking this in at work while I remember to do it. Wheeeee.

I would most like goodies for the following canons: CLAMP (espeically Holic/TRC), Firefly, Persona 3/SMT in general, Mushi-shi, Mark of the Succubus, Exalted, World Embryo, Runaways, uhhh ... Star Wars EU as long as it involves Solo Twins. Also, anything involving camp antics is also A++. If you happen to be one of those sekrit people who likes to plan post-camp AUs with me, I would love love looove post-camp fic. Obviously I am biased towards the characters that I play in camp. :|d If there's a canon you think I'd like (aka I used to play a character from it) but aren't sure if I'd appreciate a SS thingymadoo, feel free to drop me a line here.

Anything is appreciated. MS paint masterpieces, fic, icons, AMVs, whatever. Surprise me?

As I have mentioned to some people previously, Iiii am taking a semi-hiatus from now until next Saturday! I'll technically be around, but my dad's in town, so naturally my time will be limited. Especially on weekends. sob. OH WELL see y'all in a week and a half o/

[after the events of this thread, Watanuki is kind of unconscious in the hospital. bloodied, but not bleeding; he's just kind of passed out. but he'll be awake in a few moments.]

[from here-ish]

[GENERAL PLACEHOLDER for continuing party antics. Because I know I'll probably have to continue multiple threads. also, if I dropped a thread in that post and you want me to pick it up, just comment here and I will happily continue with you. and give you your own retarded tag. o/]

THANK YOU, CLAMP, FOR CONTINUING TO DO THE THING YOU DO BEST. 8(

These are only spoilers, obviously, but between this and the previous stuff Iiiii am seriously going to have to do a new permissions meme. And/or figure out how to work this into the way his pings are working now. NOTHING IS CHANGING YET at least until the chapter comes out on Monday buuut expect a post in the future. Or something. Because this one in particular is going to be tricky to retcon/work with/whatever.

... also I mostly just wanted to say bawwww Watanuki. EVERY TIME I THINK HIS BACKSTORY CAN'T GET ANY SADDER clamp tops itself. sob.

posting this in Watanuki's journal 'cause timezones top me when it comes to IRC.

HEY FELLOW CLAMP PEOPLE. Anybody else up for a big crossover CLAMP Halloween party next week? (I was sort of thinking Sunday night, if only because that's the only time before Halloween when I can personally run a post; if someone else wants to run it, I'd be a-okay with a different time.) The idea is that the Cat's Eye Cafe would be decked out with Hallowen decorations and goodies, with an open invitation for any and all trick-or-treaters and/or anyone else who just wants to dress up and have a good time. It'd be a good excuse for us to jump our cross canon buddies o/ As well as a good reason to jump anyone else who shows up to the party. ... mostly I just want an excuse to dress up my characters in costumes and talk to the fellow CLAMP characters that they don't get to chat with often. :(
