I think there's a certain way these things go hand in hand, though. I think it's more likely that something fan-run will be somebody's baby, and they'll want to cling to control of said baby at the risk of losing features.
I think the fact that there is no better site than LJ and that the fan-run archive hasn't gelled into place yet is pretty telling evidence that it ain't so easy to do the grassroots thing as we would all like to believe.
we really don't have anything to compare it to right now.
I think that's telling, though. Why aren't there other fan-run social networks to compare it to? That seems to imply that it's damn hard to get them up and running.
