   Sorry for the long delay!

   Thank you for introducing your interesting project.

   Yes, report outburst detections to VSNET as soon as possible!
Some of the objects are familiar to us (e.g. FN And is likely a
short-Porb SS Cyg star).  V336 Per is particularly interesting in
its low outburst frequency (you may find the object in our recent
WZ Sge candidate list:
http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2001PASJ...53.1191K )
V368 Per and V372 Per have been little observed, and are good targets.
Busch et al. (http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1979VeSon...9..125B)
reported one well-covered outburst of V368 Per, which resembles
a normal outburst of an SU UMa-type dwarf nova.

   I think that KW And is more likely an SS Cyg-type dwarf nova
(from outburst frequency and amplitudes - quiescence not extremely faint
as reported by Kurochkin, outburst durations, past CCD photometry though
they were not very extensive).
