Thoughts on fandom and feedback

[zubeneschamali]

This is kind of ironic given the comment I left in the post, but you should all go check out dugindeep's discussion of feedback and fandom and what's happening to both: http://dugindeep.livejournal.com/438044.html. I know LJ isn't completely dead; I still have multiple posts on personal and fic topics per day on my screen. So what can we do to make it more lively and ensure artists and authors keep producing?

The thing about LJ is that it's not just a fanfiction delivery system, it's a community. This so much and I miss it terribly. You are right about the sense of community not being preset in other forums that are fannish in nature - at least in my experience - mostly because there is no really way to have dialog.

I was pleased with myself for coming up with that term, so thanks for mentioning it. :) And yeah, even if it's a cliche, it's true: there's a community here that I haven't found in any other post-LJ platform. Hopefully we can keep it up!
