I liked the premise of xxxHolic but I'm pretty picky about long series. I may end up borrowing it and Tsubasa from the library at some point if I'm curious.

I'm not sure I'd have anything to write for either series, though I really like them. But there's a lot of stuff out there that I love - stuff I consider absolute favorites - that I have no interest in fanworks for.

I'm just tired of all the grimdark or people thinking they're doing something so new and exciting and turning stuff upside down and it's been done a thousand times. Or playing with race/sex/gender in a way that's really just as overdone as everything else. Usually it all just combines really badly.
