I'm glad to get such a comprehensive comment from you, OP, and also that you liked it in spite of it not being exactly what you asked for.
Ah, is that one of the main reasons for the 'Mary Sue' thing, then? That does make a fair amount of sense; I've noticed that some English fans think that I'm not an exaggerated enough stereotype because I'm not overtly 'otaku'-like (really though, they'd be surprised if they ever caught me in one of my gaming or cosplaying moods).
I'm immensely glad to hear that my letter came across the way I wanted it to, and that you found it to be properly informative without being boring or too dry. (I also must admit that most of the humor was intentional, because I apparently can have a sense of humor in spite of being an emotionless doormat who only sits and stares blankly at world meetings without saying a word.)
Now that I think of all the topics I wanted to bring up, though, I should also have included a section touching on my relationship with China and the other Asian nations. But my letter was getting worryingly long by that point and if I spend too much of my afternoon typing on this computer, a certain other nation in my room is going to feel neglected...
(...Is it? I think I'll let America and England deal with the majority of English fandom in that case.)
They really do, don't they? I'm impressed at how well these anons captured these nations' personalities. Assuming that they're not the actual nations going undercover, of course.
