holmesslashHello,
I am a part of what I think as the middle-wave of slash fandom: I joined it in the post-fanzines and in the early days of ML and archives era.
I always loved to interact and discuss with fellow fans and I went to EU slash conventions when I could (Red Rose, anyone?).
I sort of "lost it" with LJ, because everything became decentralized and it became, to me, impossible having meaningful conversations about fandom.
It got worse with Tumblr but now I realize I miss the chat, the debate...
I pop into the Archive, read some fiction and that's it, I skirt away from the ever present flames that apparently plague fandom nowadays.
99% of my RL friends I met online talking about slash (not necessarily H/W in their many incarnations), so to me socializing with fellow fans is relevant.
So, I was wondering, is there some sort of dunno, secret place where people go and chat and make friends, eventually?
