Mostly, we sort of avoided all of the drama happening around us. There weren't a TON of members, but there was a core group. I'd say a good percentage of the members were fans of the Uglies series, due to the fact that there was an ad for Fanlib in the back of one of the books. (I didn't read them until years later, but my name is Tally, so it came up 95% of the time I introduced myself.)

The biggest part of Fanlib was probably the forums. I couldn't tell you what we talked about, but I definitely spent a good amount of time on them. It's the real reason nothing ever really replaced the site, though there were attempts made on ffnet and LJ.

Because everyone was so close on the Forums, it was very common to get feedback on your works even from people not in the fandoms. I'd say that the best and most thoughtful feedback I've ever gotten was on Fanlib.

When they announced the site was closing, they made it so we were able to download copies of our works and comments, which was nice.

They would also feature fanfics on the home page, and, if your fic was featured, you got a free t-shirt with a quote from your fic on the back. (I used to wear mine constantly.)

There was also a blog with various fandom related posts, such as primers for some of the more popular fandoms on the site and general intro to fandom posts with basic fandom terms and history.

Another element (seriously, I just keep remembering more things--this is really bringing me back!) was challenges. Anyone could set up challenges that anyone could participate in. I don't remember the logistics of it all that well, but I do remember it being another big part of the site.
