How would you revitalize the fandom community?

[(Anonymous)]

There's a lot of yearning for the salad days of fandom community, but not a lot of momentum towards finding something new. Is that fixable? Can it be changed? How would you do it?

Tumblr can be a lot of fun as an aggregate, a kind of live feed of fandom, but as many note a full conversation is difficult. And LJ is probably never going to get its full life back. Would a new forum work, bringing the old into the new again, a la Something Awful? Could there be a fork of the chans devoted solely to fandom while preserving anon culture?

...Voat? Shit, nobody else is doing something with it except a pack of weaboo libertarian baby-stormfronters, just create a fandom hub and filter people in while locking the turds out.

How would you do it? Would you bother?

TBH I think the only way that'll happen is if it goes offline. Current online culture doesn't really do the sort of depth you speak or anymore. And people who got into fandom via facebook and twitter certainly won't know the difference.

The other thing that might help is if we have more big things at once. I still think the Harry Potter/Star Wars/LOTR clusterfuck several years back vitalized fandom a lot, with Buffy and X-Files giving it the initial push. And people did fandomy things from there, even if they weren't in all or even most of those specific fandoms.

Honestly, I find some fandom subreddits to be fairly good. That depends entirely on the fandom + fans though. It's waaaay easier to keep track of a discussion than it is on tumblr at least.

Yes! I freakin' love the HP fanfic reddit page. I find the best fics there.
