Sometimes the best way to make friends in fandom is to be a little selfish. I don't mean "be mean." Instead, what I think you should do is post reaction posts and reviews to the episodes on the main comms, talking about theories and whatever. It doesn't matter if these are things people have discussed before; fresh opinions tend to invigorate fandom, and a lot of the time oldbies appreciate the enthusiasm newbies bring to bear. The key thing is not to be simply reactive (eg, replying to people's posts) but in making your own. It helps to be creative but there are lots of ways to be creative besides ficcing and art: making icons is a good way, or going through fic archives and drawing up detailed recc lists, or getting into the doujinshi scene and scanning in items, or (if it is a reality-based fandom) going to ONTD comms and learning about what sorts of news items and gossip people are looking to find, and going out on the internet looking for new things to link to.

Also, if there are fandom-based IRC chat rooms or AIM chats or whatever, just go check them out! It's okay to lurk so long as you are not evasive about your identity if asked.

The only thing you shouldn't try to do as an outsider is to set up comms and things; this can be very discouraging if no one signs up. Don't do things that require the participation of others to succeed. Find your own fun and follow it, and hopefully people will enjoy your style and want to be friends with you.

For what it's worth, your secret touched me, and I wish you the best of luck finding your place in fandom. It can happen. Don't give up!
