Hey!!! :hugs: And fandom is mostly on tumblr these days I think, I have a tumblr for reblogging gifs and pics, but I don't get why so many people use tumblr for fandom discussion instead of LJ :/ Some people are on Dreamwidth too, but they usually still cross-post
I've been thinking of checking out Elementary as a lot of my friends rave about the character work, I just worry that I won't find the cases themselves very interesting...
I just said to luvmax1 how I must be one of the very few people who never got Tumblr. It really doesn't seem like a good platform for fandomy discussion. I mean how do people even talk there? I like longass posts and replies. :/ But the graphics are really cool there, so I do lurk occasionally.
Do you maybe know if DW deletes/makes inactive accounts that haven't been used for a long time? I created an account there years ago, but couldn't logg in when I tried it few days ago.
Hm, not sure what to say about Elementary. Maybe you could try it out for a few episodes and see how you like it? It is pretty much case-of-a-week type show, and they're not always super interesting or hard to figure out (there are some good and cool ones). But the characterization is really so worth it, I'd give it a try.
I don't get fandoms love for it either lol. I like it for rebloging gifs so I generally check it out after an episode of one of my shows has aired, but all the newer fandoms seem to use it for discussion and meta (sometimes even fic) instead of LJ, even when that's not what tumblr is even for. It's so impossible to follow discussion there and everyone has to keep rebloging all the time whenever they do.
That just sounds so impractical and messy. I wonder if I sound like one of those ancient "back in my days..." people to younger Tumblr generations. *g*
Oh, hello, I see Hannibal gifs! That show is so good, and visually stunning. Though I had to give up watching it while I eat lunch, because all the mystery meat was just getting to be too much. lol
It's frustrating that there can't be space for LJ and tumblr, but most younger fans use tumblr exclusively and it's definitely hard for an oldie like me to follow it as a fandom platform, but then with newer fandoms like Hannibal they basically have no presence on LJ and it's all on tumblr :/
And I've just got into Hannibal recently! But yep, definitely not a show to watch when you're eating :P
