1. Jackie Chan Adventures was awesome! Me and my BF used to wake up on weekends and watch it :D Me and him (try to) do the Uncle voice all the time "One mooooore thiiing!"

3. I think it's an age thing. Many (not all) anime fanfic authors are younger than many (not all) Western fandom writers (some slash writers have been around since the advent of Kirk/Spock!), so those older fans who've had more time to hone their craft make the average output quality somewhat higher. I'm also wondering if anime might be a younger-tending type of thing (in general), for myself I know I feel like I've grown out of it, which again would lead to less mature skills if older fans really do move on. Or it could be that as anime fandom in general sticks around and grown in the Western world, it too will have a good population of older writers. Anyway, that's only my theory. No actual facts or testing involved.

8. Heh. Meanies. But still, heh.

12. Hotness is a your-mileage-may-vary kind of thing. I think he's okay (not that that's a very flattering picture. However give me Rupert Grint any day! Did you see his shoulders in movie four? Boy's grown into a nice chunk of man.

13. Aww, write it anyway! You can make sure a few more people know his name. Anyway, I'm sure manifestos have been written on less. You'll just have less of the "canon backing" section and more of the "why fans like this pairing" section. I'm sure the research would be fun!

17. Oh god, my sympathies. I devoured the whole thing in one night (last night, actually, after work until 1:30 am) purely out of self-defense, because it's so damned hard to avoid spoilers. For god's sake, people were discussing them in ihasatardis (Doctor Who lolmacro lj) and on Televisionwithoutpity.com. Good luck avoiding those spoilers, and I mean that in a totally non-sarcastic way--I hope you can do it!

21. I think I need to google Otakin. Sounds like an interesting phenomenon.

22. The movie was kind of crap, but I enjoy David Wenham no matter what he does, so I think that's a great pairing :D. To me he's always "that guy who survives." Faramir did, that monk did, and the guy he played in 300 did. Oooh. Pardon me while I think about 300 some more.
