In this Tsubasa chapter...

[taotrooper]

...amazingly, I have nothing concrete to say o_O I'm still "WTF Kamui! Subaru what?" but apart from that... nada.

Meanwhile, I had fun checking the fandom reactions at the flistflist XDDD

Incidentally, I'm copy-pasting this comment thread at Yuuto's for my reference and yours. I swear some people still believe there'll be a CCS fourth season. Incidentally, everything I say there is a true story. Talk about canon-fanon confusion.

By the way, I started working on the Rekort!Eriol fic. Do you reckon using German titles (ie, Herrn and Frau) would fit? After all, while the world is so Victorian, they do use German terms.

I think it makes sense to use German terms, yeah. It's one of the cases where I'd go for canon instead of realism. Tsubasa is full of things like that: Japanese names in completely non-Japanese worlds, Hindi names in ice countries, etc. So it wouldn't look random.

Talk about canon-fanon confusion.
Ha. A while ago there was a fanbrat at DZ who practically swore that Tsubasa had been announced as a continuation of CCS. I said "no, that's what some fans thought" and s/he said "well I thought it was and I didn't pay attention". *headdesk x infinity*

Just in case, because something like "Frau Saitou" or "Herrn High Librarian" sound awful XDDD And it's not even fangirl German or anything. It's just those two words, along with the canon ones (for instance, Soldat). It's no worst than the -san and -chan in fics.

Who needs attention when you have more S+S?! OMG!

The examples I gave are true stories I've seen on the Internetz. There was a time in Dz (and other crappy boards) in which sequels posts were hot. That was before I moderated. It was hell. I could be more sarcastic then, so I'd use giant red font in bold to say "AGAIN, HELL NO. RUMORS."

Ahahaha. I saw the scans, understood ZERO japanese and thought "meh, fight." But, reading some of the translated bits, I join the WTF, CLAMP?!

Ah, y una cosa que no tengo la menor idea de cómo explicar en inglés: "Herrn" es la forma que se usa con distintas declinaciones de los verbos. Para decir "Sr. Fulano de Tal" se usa Herr, sin la n.

I was like that, but with "meh, blood licking. Damn, too bad Syaoran won't die because I want to see the wank afterwards. Bah."
