SHARING TIME:
    Urgh. I've been around and I've been reading a lot of fic, just... man, lately actually writing recs down has seemed like a lot of effort. Someone else should write all my recs for me, okay? I've got a list of about fifty fics here that I totally do not want to start working on and I'm not afraid to whine about it. :|

Are you psychic?

I've spent the last week rewatching the CCS Anime (I'm up to the Judgement) and the week before that rereading the manga-neither of which I've done in a couple years.

And you bless my f-list with CCS recs?

I bow down to your exceptional timing!

That fifth rec in particular was amazing, but I'm a sucker for anything Yue/Touya/Yukito.

After deciding to do a post on how much I loved Sakura from CCS, I had to reread the whole manga late last month and I just... I fell in love with it all over again and it reminded me of how much I liked CLAMP back in the day! And I am DELIGHTED to be psychic and drag you down with me into the fandom again. *beams*

(I need to find time for the anime again. It's one of the few adaptations that changed things where I like both versions really well.)

Isn't that fifth fic amazing? I am firmly convinced that that's canon after the series, NOTHING SHALL CHANGE MY MIND, EVER.

CCS was my first manga EVER, so it will always hold a special place in my heart. But I love it so much anyway. And it's one of the only animes that I truly enjoy without it ever feeling like a chore to watch (I prefer reading to watching anyway).

I love that concept of Touya struggling to readapt to his regained powers-twisted by Yue's own nature. It's a facinating idea and works wonderfully.

CCS is one of those manga that I can pull out every year to every other year and reread the whole thing and enjoy it just as much as ever, which means I'm pretty sure I'll never really let go of this fandom. (Or how I'll never really be able to let go of CLAMP, sigh.)

Agreed! I like it because it's full of potential for hilarity, but also because it's not necessarily easy, even if it all works out eventually. That's totally fitting with the theme of CCS. ♥

Thanks for the links to the Garcia fics. I did a bit of poking around in the fandom by myself, but I'd much rather have your recs to guide me :)

I feel your pain. *g* I want Garcia fic really badly (and Morgan/Garcia fic like burning) but I'm intensely wary of the fandom, too. So, I mostly stick to what pops up on memes like this, but at least everyone seems to love Garcia, which I'm very thankful for. (Seriously, how amazing is she?)

There are some pretty enjoyable Morgan/Garcia fics at ff.net, although they're of a style that I don't run into much on LJ.

There were a couple of Morgan/Garcia fics I enjoyed at the AO3, too. Lemme see. . .

I stumbled into this journal looking for recs and I found one of my fics! (Aftermath) It was pretty nice reading what you had to say and thinking about it, I do feel that I rushed the whole thing. On the other hand, it might be one of those cases in which I know what I was trying to say but I failed at making others "see" it. But I'm happy you liked it and thanks again for what you said, it made me think about what i did and how to improve next time.

Now I have to go read the other recs on the JR fandom :D

I can see where you were kind of caught between a rock and a hard place with the idea, to get Nowaki to leave Hiroki is a near impossible thing, given how doggedly determined he is when it comes to Hiro-san, but you don't want to spend twenty thousand words just leading up to that when it's not meant to be the focus of the fic. I think I'd have done the same thing, let the beginning be rushed and then focus on what I really wanted to write, you know? As long as the rest of it is satisfying, it's fine--and yours definitely was, so I can totally pin you down and try to make you write more, right? ^_~

(I may be a little nuts when it comes to this fandom, don't mind me. *g*)

I have to say I prefer detailed fics. I don't like it when they rush important parts or anything at all really. I don't mean for people to write a thousands words on the description of a door alone >.> but I do like details so I feel kinda bad I failed a little in this. Also about Nowaki leaving, I made references to him studying abroad and when he got the other apartment with Hiro-san thinking he was going to break up with him so that reading Hiro's diary could be seen sort of as the last straw. Again, maybe I failed at getting this across?

Anyway, I wrote that fic because a friend got me into the fandom and I wanted it out of my system but now I love it! So yes, you're allowed to pin me down to make me write especially because I'm writing for other fandoms XD.

It's alright, I'm in love with the Nowaki/Hiroki pairing!

You know, there are days when I feel like maybe I should try looking outside my flist more often, but then someone like you comes along and writes something that is so perfect that I pretty much don't need the rest of the stupid internet! I AM GOOD TO YOU BECAUSE A:SLKDJALKSJA YOU WERE GOOD TO ME FIRST AND I LOVE YOUR FIC SO MUCH, I AM GOING TO CHAIN YOU TO ME SO THAT YOU HAVE TO GET INTO EVERY FANDOM I EVER WANT FIC IN and, no, I don't care how creepy, obnoxious, and annoying that sounds. >:|b

But nothing makes me happier than getting to make the people I adore happy in return, so NOW I AM BEAMING, TOO, OH GOD MY EXPRESSION MUST BE SO RIDICULOUS RIGHT NOW. ♥♥♥

I like chains 8D

You need to stop making me feel so good about my fic, you really do, because I honestly don't know what to do with all this love beyond sending it right back. IS IT POSSIBLE TO EXPLODE WITH LOVE, BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE I'M PRETTY CLOSE TO IT.

If you want the dictionary definition of ridiculous, my beaming face will be the first entry under it, I swear to god.

NEVER STOP BEING SO FUCKING AWESOME, BECKY. NEVER NEVER NEVER. ♥♥♥

You're making me break my shift AND capslock key, thanks a lot.

Look. If I have to break my Shift and Capslock keys, so do you. I am not going to be alone in this, so deal with it. :|

AND, HEY, I LIKE GETTING LOVE BACK IN RETURN! IT FEELS AWESOME! I GET TO SHARE LOVE AND I GET TO RECEIVE LOVE AND IT ALL MAKES ME WANT TO BURST WITH LOVE, TOO. ♥ ♥ ♥ (And break the Shift key again, apparently.)

But, really, you write fantastic stuff, so you deserve praise! I love your writing a lot, I love your brain a lot, so it should totally get ridiculous amounts of pettings. I will always be up for that job. o/
