The first question: I've seen anime fics that had UK-English spellings, and it threw me out of the story a bit. Part of that is because I'm used to subtitles in American English, but I think mostly it's that I'm assuming anime fics are auto-translated from Japanese to English, and it jars me to see the story "translated" into someone else's English.

I don't think that would change according to fandom, but I'm not sure because I've only seen it once or twice, and the fics were by the same author. And of course, all this is contingent upon my actually *noticing* the Brit- or Canadian-isms.

I think I haven't expressed myself very clearly; I blame that on the late hour and my not having my glasses on so the computer screen's kinda fuzzy.
