Now, that sentence amuses me :) Probably because it reminds me of Pratchett and all the things I like about him.

I wrote a bit of Discworld fic a while back, and some of that style may have stuck. But as long as I'm not starting sound derivative, that's definitely a compliment. ^^;

I really enjoyed the whole trip to the Complex. It’s interesting how you can get an insight into Fuuma’s and Kamui’s way of thinking if you look at who they sent.

With that, there wasn't even much thought in it - I just started off thinking "I'd like to write something for Yuzuriha," and before I knew it, the other three had been picked to go along and the rationale for why each had been chosen and the beginnings of how each team was traveling were all falling into place. And you don't argue with a story when it's being that cooperative. The whole Complex arc is a part of the story I've been looking forward to writing for a good while now.

I might have already said this, but the thing I really appreciate about your writing is that you keep everybody IC and still show them from your own angle. I could recognize your Doumeki or Watanuki anywhere, but they are still essentially Doumeki and Watanuki. I think that is what good fanfiction is all about – taking the best out of both canon and fanon and elegantly mixing them in such a way you almost can’t tell them apart.

I'm starting to feel a bit funny about the way I handle characterisation in this fandom, because I get a lot of good feedback about it (and don't get me wrong, that's always fantastic to hear, because characterisation really is central to getting fanfic to work) but the characters are all so cooperative about being written about that most of the time there's hardly any effort in it for me. Whereas other fandoms really make me work to get the voices down, xxxHOLiC fic is just about embarrassingly easy. And I'm not even really sure why - but that's certainly nothing to complain about either.
