Fandom Snowflake 12 - Gathering Places

[silveradept]

In your own space, post a rec for fannish spaces and resources - comms, challenges, twitters, tumblrs, etc. Tell us where you hang out.

My fannish space, such that it is, tends to be on Dreamwidth and the Archive Of Our Own. I don't hang out in a lot in fannish communities, and I tend to be adding in exchange communities to do writing assignments. For that, I might mention there's fandomcalendar, which has a lot of exchanges and events posted.

Much of my fannish presence is in linkspam and in the comments sections of other people's spaces. So, if you would like fannish commentary, you should probably talk about fannish things in your own space and see if I get wandered over there and say hello.

So, yes, hrm, I guess that using tag searching and the fandom calendar is really all I've got. Ah, well.

:( I wish there were more fannish spaces on Dreamwidth. That seemed to be the one thing that didn't move over when most users came from LJ to DW. I'm not sure if they didn't move over because they were just on the decline in general, or if they migrated to tumblr, or...

But I definitely do miss them.

I think a whole lot of the meta is tumblr now.

There's FFA, but that's absolutely not everyone's cup of tea (including mine).

Tumblr isn't bad for thought dumping meta, but it's shitty for having actual discourse about it. :-/

Yeah, FFA doesn't do it for me either. The weird thing is, most people I talk to say they miss the fandom comms on LJ, but the few that have tried to start up here have flopped. So it's a weird kind of dichotomy.
