I just came here tonight to say

Not "Merry Christmas, baby" (sorry, Bruce!)--

No, what I wanted to say is that I am looking at the draft PDFs of the CLAMP 20th Anniversary fanbook that we as the clamp_now community and particularly nokiirat, fearless leader and tireless editor, have spent months putting together, and you know what? We have done an awesome thing. Fandom has problems and it is not always a metric or even an English tonne of rainbows and sparkles, but that does not diminish the fact that at times it is a space where people can come together globally and do awesome things.

N, we should totally try to get something about this in Transformative Works and Cultures. Maybe I'll ask you for an interview. :-)

And I still really need a fandom tag.

Thank you to you, nokiirat, and everyone else involved for all of your dedication to this project. I've already seen some amazing works that were submitted to the Fanbook, and I can't wait to see the whole thing as well as how horrible my own pieces look in print!
