But what fandoms do you care about? What fandoms do I care about? What fandoms does anyone care about?

This is where I really hope there is someone somewhere writing a masters thesis or doctorate dissertation or history book or something about the progression from the early Star Trek and scifi fandoms through Babylon 5, Highlander, Due South, and X Files fandoms on the early internet in the 90s, Buffy and Firefly and LOTR and Harry Potter in the early aughts, through SuperWhoLock, MLP, Steven Universe, the MCU, and current fandoms. Maybe that person should be me.

Try to get grant funding first.

Textual poachers: television fans & participatory culture by Henry Jenkins and the like. I found this book a bit too US centric for my non US self, however there's should be similar books.

What fandoms do you want to see? I make secrets, but I don't know a lot of fandoms. That's why I started using peoples' comments on "fandom secrets you're too lazy to make" threads. I simply don't have enough familiarity with newer fandoms on my own.

I think the thing with new fandom is......you can just say what you want. You might not get nuanced discussion like here, but I can open up my tumblr page and post "I'm fine with the Diamonds being on the road to redemption and change." and have way more people see that than here.

Also, it's quicker to make a text post than to submit a secret and wait a week.

This. I think fs and really platforms like this are too old school for most young people. Tumblr is plenty anonymous, there's confession blogs, they don't need to go through the effort of making a secret. Fast, immediate gratification is more of a thing in fandom these days.

I’m new here but.......... I’m not a young fandom person and I don’t have the sizzling secrets in shiny new fandoms that you were hoping for.

I wish F!S had a reddit presence, or advertised on reddit to lure people from there to submit secrets here.

I think Tumblr was detrimental to F!S because so many fandom-specific secret blogs popped up.

That said, I'm not gonna hate on all the OC that our regulars produce that help sustain the community. I like knowing that our members are passionate about their fandoms, even if it does get repetitive sometimes.

... I'm not sure we need redditors to come here.

This.

Just like there are people on tumblr (I’m not) who also post to FS, I don’t see why redditors couldn’t (I’m not one either but I’m pretty sure we’ve got some already); the trick is for them to more or less follow FS norms whole posting and not act like FS is a subreddit or a tumblr tag/blog, any more than someone posting to reddit or tumblr would try to follow FS/dreamwidth/lj conventions.
