question for fandom

[kaigou]

This is not entirely out of only curiosity, but in the wake of LJ dying its ongoing slow death, the rise of tumblr & instagram, the spammy desert of delicious, and the domination of pinterest, where does fandom mostly reside, now? Outside of behemoths like fanfiction.net and deviantart, there doesn't seem to be a central gathering place (application/site) for major active communities. Or is there, and I'm just not seeing/hearing about it?

Considering that once upon a time, one could post images, fic, vids, and whatnot to LJ, on one's own journal as well as on a community journal, is there any one place that handles all the fannish activity, now? Or is it all truly broken into pieces?

Can't we post images, vids, fics etc on LJ now? Do you mean that we can do these things, but no-one responds?

You mean before or after LJ decided to heavily police the content? (heh)

I meant in terms of the fact that the movement on LJ is almost minimal, now. A last few hanging on, but it's not really the edge of things, anymore.

Hhmmm... if a last few are hanging on, then it actually does sound like the edge of things - though perhaps not the edge you were meaning! :)
