No.
12. Do you like doujinshi?
How about you define what that is before I answer?

In no particular order, Corico, Kyoht, Goldenwolf… blue-el3ment… um… crap, drawing a blank on names… D.C. Simpson… the list probably goes on for a while…
14. What’s your favourite Anime/Manga?
If Spirited Away counts, then yeah, that.

22. What is your dream site like?
One that people actually participate on… and more than just the ****ing Word Association Game…
