Doubt anyone will see this, but an interesting question.

So my partner, who has always been mildly fannish but never actually *involved* in fandom, is now looking into starting a journal about their real life and making some fandom-inclined friends on the Internet! Which is cool and awesome, since they needed an outlet for all of the shit they're going through that isn't just me. But now they want to know: LJ or DW, in terms of finding fandom friends?

They're into anime, but not the popular stuff - mostly currently-fansubbed weird/supernatural/strange series, with a side of Gundam and other old school stuff on occasion. They used to play video games a lot more (mostly PC games and Monster Hunter), and still like the concept of indie games, just don't have the time to play now. People that are going to be mature and gender-weirdness-friendly would be a plus. What do you think, F!S?

OP should also add:

They used to play a lot of tabletop roleplay games (generally D&D, some other stuff too) and they want to cosplay, but they don't have the real-life people around them to do either thing right now. They will probably not do fanart or fanfiction, though there may be some original fic (and maybe fanfic if properly encouraged). In real life, they're studying science at the graduate level and that might come up too.

I think DW would be a better choice, since a)the user base seems to be older and b)it isn't set to go down in flames like LJ, should the LJ admins keep on implementing their bizarre policy changes.

I'm partial to DW myself, but sadly they're more likely to find fandom friends on LJ. Perhaps they can do a user/community search and choose based on which site has the people or communities they're most interested in. If they have LJ and it goes down in flames, as many expect, they can still migrate to DW. It might be better for them to be on LJ and if a migration happens, they can move with their fandom friends rather than having a DW and waiting for a migration to happen so they can meet people. That's assuming the fandoms they're interested in aren't already active on DW.
