I've been wondering- does Japan celeberate Halloween? I've been thinking

about

writing a halloween fanfic based on an anime series...

Please disregard this spam- I just found out that Japan does not
celeberate this holiday. If Japan does, then it's got to be unoffical and
limited. Again, I apologize for the unnecessary spam

Well, as a general fanfic note, it's possible to handle this and similar 
"it's not done in Japan but it would be interesting if it was" type of 
things via a "one of the gaijin exchange students at school told me about 
it, and it sounded fun" plot device. 

That's assuming you're basing the fic on a series that has students as 
main characters, like Ranma or Sailor Moon. It wouldn't work for, say, a 
Tank Police or TTS Airbats fanfic.



Hasheen!
