This is an excellent post! My native language is English, but I read quite a bit of French fanfiction. However, I always feel like I'm on the fringes of the French fandom because of the lanugage barrier. (I've studied the language for six years, so I'm quite proficent, but nowhere near fluent. I read and write far better than I speak.) My persona, if you will, is somewhat limited in those fandoms. I really enjoy science fiction, and I haven't found as much of a presence for those types of fanfiction as I do in English. However, there's a lot more literary fanfiction, as well as a focus on anime and manga.
I'd love to hear more about your thoughts on translating fanfiction, if you have anything to say on the topic. And what are your thoughts on the creation of a fan personality? What sort of things does this personality depend on?
(Sorry for the anon post! I'm rosenskimmer on livejournal and I haven't figured out openID yet.)
