Nice to Meet You, Good to See You

How did I not discover the extreme sugarshock cuteness of Card Captor Sakura before now? I've had a sticker of Kero-chan on my cell phone for, oh over a year now …and yet I didn't fully appreciate it because I didn't understand how incredibly cute he really is.

I knew I needed to see some of the show/read the manga after getting addicted to Tsubasa so I would know more about the characters' origins. I just didn't know how addicted I would get. What's with me and getting addicted to the really kiddy shows? Well, not all of them. Just CLAMP-made kiddy shows, I guess. Reminds me once again that the CLAMP School boys had better show up in Tsubasa! I need Nokoru, Suoh and Akira in all their cuteness.

Anydangway, I'm also addicted to Alice 19th now too. I am definitely in a "filling up the inspiration reserves" mode right now. I went through a long "cranking out creative stuff" phase, but my creative tank ran down to empty; hence my inspiration gathering process of the last few weeks. At least, that's how I justify my recent addictions. Where was I? Oh yeah, Alice 19th. It's been awhile since I've been addicted to one of Watase's creations (Ah, Fushigi Yuugi) but this story has completely sucked me in. She has definitely improved her art style over the years, though I can see hints of Tamahome and Koji in Kyo, and hints of Tasuki in Frey. I really like Frey, yet I can't decide if he's my favorite--a dilemma which surprises me considering his quirkiness and his physical similarities to a certain fiery seishi. Oh, and the bunny's cute too. Though now bunny can be as adorable as Momiji. But there I go bringing Fruits Basket up again.

For any fans of my WHR fic though, I want to share that I have been writing. It's just taking me a little while because of all of my distractions lately, and because of the long break between writings, I want to make sure it flows with what came before. Sorry for the long wait, but I want to make it worth it!
