What I'd really like again is a centralised site, which includes its own chatroom/s. *Misses Evan like woah*. A place where all of fandom, all of fandoms, converge, and from which they can then branch out, always with that site as a focal point.

But that of course requires commitment that I don't think any one fan, or even group of fans, can or will give. Also, sadly, in fandom there's so much politics, hierarchy, even the silent kind, that such a site has very little chance of being impartial and seen as such. Whether as a mere tool, or a fannish warm home, I can't quite see it happening.

I wanted the future, but it seems I rely on the past for ideas; content-based rather than people-based. Separation of state and religion a fan's personal journaling and their fandom-oriented material. One for the benefit of human relations, and one for the benefit of fandom as an interest group.

-

Also, would be interesting to have a centralised community/list such as [livejournal.com profile] fandom_counts on other places, for example, as a way for InsaneJournal people to find each other and perhaps even to find similar-interest communities.

Note: Very nearly typed "fandom_cunts". That's not a bad name for something or other.

Sounds good. I miss some place to go and meet people like that...
I am in the middle of the 7th Potter (no spoilers! :)), and was thinking I don't even have a good place to go talk about bunnies and that...
I actually talk to real life people about it more that to online people!

content-based - I really miss groups. Really.

fandom_cunts - lol yay! There really should be something called that :)

Well, actually, if it's talking to people you want, LJ is sort of fitting for your purposes... You just never used it. Potternoise is most prominent around here.

There is, but sadly it's a waste. Place-holder, nothing more.

I did do lj, but really hated it. Way too much politics.

Place to talk - talk, read fic, meet the same group of people, focused on the issue I am interested in, without all the crap. Not. LJ. .
