The New Trials Connection: For all of its faults, I am delighted that past me created this juvenile delinquent of a character who seems to be cut from the same cloth as Mizuki Kai. Another connection is that this chapter features misunderstandings, which occurs quite frequently through out New Trials, especially when the characters are too stubborn to talk to each other!
Reading the relaunch: One of my favourite changed that Jeremy made was that he had Tomoyo shop for Eriol's Christmas present rather than a three month anniversary gift because it's way less cheesy. He also gave some more depth to one of my throw away characters that really made me laugh. He also created a scene between the Argument and Cuddle, which I loved.
Review spotlight: I really beat myself up in the author's note so there was a whole lot of consoling going on in the reviews. This one comes from an old classmate and I laughed when I re-read it so it gets a spotlight:
It really wasn't all that bad at all.. I quite enjoyed it. Very different from your other chapters, but refreshingly so. I especially liked the realistic anger in eriol's original reaction to Tomoyo kissing the stranger.. A swift punch with no mercy... heheheh, that's exactly what I'd expect from someone as emotionally charged as Eriol. Great job, don't be so hard on yourself.
Art: I wasn't too excited to draw The Argument since he's hands down my least favourite and there's no pretty outfit to design this time around, but I'm glad that I gave him funky hair. My goal was to ultimately make him look different that Wish-chan's Kai even though they do share similarities.
Up next: I actually don't remember. I know that there's one spirit left though I don't know who it is and that it's a two part finale but I can't remember anything expect for an intimate S&S scene that I'm part mortified and part looking forward to revisiting!
