Japanese lesson of the day: a noun can either be singular or plural. Thus, there is no "s" at the end. There's no such word as "doujins". It's "doujin".
Looks like I'm not the only one needs to work on his Japanese. =P
As you may have noticed, I was not writing in Japanese. And if a foreign word doesn't take an "s" when plural, foreign words that are assimilated take an "s". Kimono has been assimilated for long, as well as samurai. And since I'm not pretending to write good English, I'm the one to decide which word take an s and which don’t. Example: Card Fighters 2 and Siren are kamige, KOF 2003 and 2001 are kusoge.
Doujiin being a useful word, I mostly write it as a normal noun. Example: the world needs more dirty Itonoko doujins.
And if you want to correct my mistakes, you should correct my use of “doujin” instead of “dôjin”. But I’m forcing myself to use the ugly non modified Hepburn version since accents don’t turn out well in many encoding.
My Japanese is fine, thank you.

A Japanese word is still a Japanese word. It's like saying "There is no such word as 'pizzas'. It's 'pizze'."
As for "doujin", that is fine. Not many computers can view a macron you know. I don't like using the circumflex. If I wanted to use it, I'd only use it for Greek words for the most part.
Whatever. Do as you will. I'm not here to let this go off-topic.
