Something similar was posted yesterday, in the form of an overly dramatic US voiceover - here's an overly dramatic Japanese voiceover with orchestral overtones, notable for the verbing of the term, 'katamari' to deadly effect.

Thinking Allowed on Radio 4 today covered this quite well, albeit indirectly. It suggested that while in the past these sort of obsessions (David Cassiday, Bay City Rollers) would fade in the late teens nowadays the internet allows general communication and social networks to build and reinforce such fan bases to the extent that they can self sustain and go on for a relatively unlimited period of time.

Yes as 'erotic' crossover fanfics go, it sounds pretty tame in the large scheme of things. But this is by the master. First learned of this guy via an X-men fic that was featured on this site (the topless robot Friday fanfiction) and posted here, so the site / column is GC but this masterpiece hopefully not.
