English words are traditionally written in English, though English words integrated into the Japanese language are written in katakana. 'Fandom', as far as I know, is not one of those.

Otherwise, agreed :)

Not true, I don't think. After all, if that were true, we wouldn't get katakana for all those characters with made-up English names in Japanese games and anime. However, I'll be the first to admit my Japanese is rusty, so. :(

And woohoo! Glad my bitchiness was righteous. <3

I think that only goes for names, though, because they're being used in the context of the language itself.

But I could totally be wrong 8D I'm probably just as rusty.

VERY righteous :(

they're spotty in the use of Roman letters. Just look at Japanese magazines and websites. Every once in a while you'll see "LOVE" and every once in a while you'll see "ラブ" ...
they'll put the katakana in to make it easier to read.

I don't think it matters that much. You guys are both right. ♥

Watch me as a prove how much of a nerd I really am and scan the issue of "Ribon" that I had closest to me. XD;

Like the person above me said, you'll often see both Roman characters and katakana used for foreign words. Take this (http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b367/emi_no_tsubasa/loveberrish.jpg) page, for instance. A lot of times you'll actually SEE it as a combination of the two, with tiny katakana acting as furigana for the roman letters. XD; I know that was a pretty bad example, but I didn't want to have to hunt for the cover page of "出ました! Powerpuff Girls Z." So.
