I mean anybody who speaks English. The only thing keeping me out of the existing communities is the language barrier. And looking at said communities, it's clear that they can be easily kept alive as there's always new Key-related news to be shared, whether it be game or anime details, merchandise, events and so on. There's been plenty of communities built around niche video games, I don't see why this can't be applied to Key.

I love what you guys are doing here to try and unify the english-speaking visual novel community, but lately I've been feeling the absence of a community specific to Key's visual novels. The fandom is huge, but it's very scattered. I look at websites like http://www.keyfc.net/bbs/ and http://vnkeyfanclub.com/home.html, and wonder why nobody has made an English-speaking equivalent. I want to do something about it, but I'm having trouble getting started. My first idea was to create a subreddit. Instead I found one already existed, /r/key_visual_arts, but it's pretty empty. I've been appointed a mod of the subreddit in the hopes that I can get it active, but we're off to a slow start. Much less promoting it, I'm more interested in people's thoughts. Why isn't there a unified english-speaking Key community, and do you think one could possibly exist? Do you want one to exist? And if you do, do you have any suggestions about how one might get started?

So... Is Clannad Man really such a celebrity that I need to pay $2500 to get his autograph? Something about that rubs me the wrong way, heh. That aside, I'm really eager to help. One question though. What exactly is an "original printed setting material"?
