I was just starting work on this revamp when the challenge was announced, and I'm glad I got to do it as part of this challenge! I made this site for the OTP marathon back in 2010, but I was in college at the time and wasn't able to finish it by the deadline. Since then, this site has been online in a half-finished state, under the name "Atropos". Now it's got a new name, a new layout, a bunch of new sections, and most importantly: finished content!

I rewrote or at least significantly edited all of the existing content sections (all 4 of them... well 5 after I was done editing sob), as well as added a bunch of new ones. There's also a media section now, and I got approved for the fanlisting in the middle of the revamp, so that's a thing.

Also there's a really bad fanmix. I had fun with that.

AWESOME. Wowwww. So detailed, and I love the high-contrast layout--it highlights the content rather than stealing its spotlight completely. (And the fanmix is COOL :D)

I saw your plug on Twitter and it looks awesome! I've just read through the introduction as I've never read/seen the series but I really enjoyed it.

(Also in reply to your email I'm surprised it wasn't listed at Emotion yet either. I'll get it added soon!)

Woo! Congrats on finishing! I know you worked hard on this. :) I love the layout. I haven't read much beyond the intro page (which is very informative!) because I've never read TB, although I've seen bits of X years ago. They've been on my tbr list for so long but I'm just hesitant to get into anything unfinished. I did enjoy the fanmix though. I love that Lady Gaga is on it.

I haven't read TB either, so I can't comment too much on your content, but you made it very easy to understand and get into, and the layout is beautiful! I really found the honorific section interesting. I liked that you covered no honorific, too. I didn't know that!

Holy macaroni, this site takes me back! I remember reading X as it came out in French and looking for CLAMP fansites on the college computer...

Thank you all for the kind responses! :heart: I really appreciate it.

@Emma: X has, like, the worst cliffhanger of all time, it's terrible. Tokyo Babylon is complete, at least, and it's my favorite CLAMP series.

Awesome job, Larissa! I haven't read TB in about 15 years so reading though this jettisoned me right back to my teens. It's really well-written and the layout fits the atmosphere of the series to a T.

You probably have these already, but the Single Triple image single set is lying around somewhere in my CD rack if you'd like scans or rips of Seishirou and Subaru's. :3

I don't, actually! I've actually had a lot of trouble finding TB/X scans - most sites that had them in the past are down these days. I'd love anything you'd be willing to share!

And thank you very much for the kind words! :heart: I'm glad it reads well, I did kind of get to a point while writing where I just wanted to yell at the characters, haha :swt:

I might just finally get around to reading Tokyo Babylon, then. I know I'd just get extremely frustrated and angry at the cliffhanger in X, haha. I'd like to spare myself from that kind of rage.
