Reading up on female writers of the Meiji and Taisho periods was not where I expected to run into the term "doujinshi". But it's short for "doujin zasshi" (for non-Japanese speakers, "group magazine", roughly) and originally the doujin in question were literary societies/salons/circles. They sprung up during the Meiji period, organized around either a particular school of thought or later a particular literary figure (e.g. Natsume Soseki), and belonging to one of these circles seems to have been an obligatory step in establishing a literary career. Anyway, each circle published in effect zines of their members' works, thus doujin zasshi. Thus CLAMP. XD

(Cursory internet research indicates manga doujin first appeared in the '50s or so.)

That's so logical, it hurts. You should have made something wiggedy-whack up entirely for the lulz.
