Yuletide and xxxHolic (and Kobato)

[rekall]

With two days left before the deadline I decide I don't like the Yuletide fic I was writing. I just couldn't bring it together the way I originally visioned. So now I'm writing a whole new fic, which is a lot better, but is probably only going to barely make the minimum word count.

I just wish I had decided sooner to scrap the original fic since it's been bugging me for at least the past two weeks but I was stubborn.

I don't really have much to say about the latest xxxHolic chapter. After waiting a month, this chapter was a pretty big disappointment. I know the last few pages was meant to give an ZOMG! WHAT! I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL NEXT TIME! reaction but I just couldn't care. I want Himawari back. She's a major character yet everyone but her has been seen since the time skip.

I liked the rabbit though. He reminded me of characters you'd find in Kobato. I looked at the Chinese scans for that and am glad there's more Otherworld stuff in this month's chapter but can't really comment on anything else since there's been no translation.

I don't even know which chapter was the last I read. x_x I finished the latest chapter and I was like, "Who is that? >_>" Looks really familiar but I kind of ... fail to care.

Also, crack theory tiem! What is Himawari was a fragment of Yuuko and disappeared when Yuuko did?

She's the spider-lady who ate Watanuki's eye. I think she only appeared in one or two earlier chapters.

I'm glad I'm not the only one. ;)

I agree, I want to see Himawari again. x_X Spider-lady may lead to something interesting, though.
