5. WORD. It could be a nostalgia factor, like why people are still so obsessed with Sailor Moon and Digimon while the rest of their interests lie in more mature shows/books/what-have-you. Final Fantasy 7 was a great game for its time but it just can't compete anymore with some of the newer games. I guess I might have been jaded to it because I tried to get into it so late (around this time last year) but FF7 didn't live up to the fandom's promise.
14. It's hard bein' a celebrity. :( Not that I know from personal experience, but I could see why fans get to them. It's pretty well-known that fandom is populated mostly by half-brained idiots. If you were bombarded constantly with emails like "omg i luv ur stuff axel is soooo kyoot" or "wow ur a total b*atch and u suck why dont u just jump of a cliff alredy???" you'd probably get sick of it too. I sure would.
I've had the chance to speak with one or two people that would probably be labeled BNFs. They were both really nice people. BNF is really just another meaningless label to me now, like "emo" is; maybe I'm so out of it that I don't know of the cocky, airheaded little bums the term is so often attributed to but I've never seen one.
