2. I don't think that an artist has to be better than another in order to have a fandom, they really just have to supply something people want. I won't name names here but there are several insanely popular artists on dA and elsewhere who have insane pageviews and rabid fans, and their own fandom more or less ... and their art really isn't that good -- one of them most recently was caught tracing art and subsequently banned from Y!gallery. It's sad. There's so much art out there that it's difficult to become known through art alone. Talent sometimes gets overlooked for how marketable something is. Don't let it get you down if it does. I used to get depressed as far as fanart goes years, but really you can't take it personally. I draw because I enjoy it.
6. Exactly. I don't care how well you can make them sound like the character, if you're saying stuff they would never, ever say. You're not RPing them well.
8. I have a lot of friends who share in this secret. Most of them it's the other way. I don't think anyone would think less of you for it if you let it be known, but that might be because I'm just so used to it now. Good luck! ^^
