I'm slowly discovering that there are a few of us out here. No one bats an eye at fans of any age for various live shows. And fans of all ages seem to write for those shows. But the fans and fic-writers for anime and manga seem to be primarily high school kids and young adults, and not too many of our peers even know what anime is, let alone understand the drive to write fic for it. But I had fun writing fic for Star Trek in high school, and the urge to do it again reawakened with my developing interest in anime and the reading and (sometimes) editing of Xparrot's dozens of fics.
I've always done writing of some kind or other, but I returned to fanfic the same year as you, late in 2002, with two Gravitation ficlets I wrote in response to Gravi stories by the two girls, then a longer fic I wrote for Gnine as a Christmas surprise in response to her begging me to write more.
