Fandom stagnation

[ishtar79]

So, real talk: for reasons beyond my understanding I feel the urge to get into fandom again, but my flist is predictably half dead. Any reccomendations of fandom friending memes/users/rec sites to check out? I'm quite passionate about Harry Potter right now, but open to other fandoms too, particularly anything fandom related. Hell, I'll even

Nah, fandom's dead all over. Tumblr's okay, but it's just regurgitating 10 year old memes and stolen Deviant Art. I stopped writing last year and have gone pretty much total lurker mode... Ao3 still has some fic coming through, though.

I refuse to accept that! Not that it will make a difference, mind you, but I refuse to accept it! :P I'm on reddit a lot and the r/harrypotter is quite active, but I don't know whether I want to do the fan thing on reddit.....

For active rec sites I like fancake, bestthingever, fanart-recs, unfitforsociety, het_reccers, recs and epic_recs.

I don't think anyone on my flist is currently posting about Harry Potter. Are you interested in any other fandoms?

[ishtar79]

These are excellent, thank you! :)

Nah, my interests are varied and changeable. I like all things Marvel (so comics/MCU/the Netflix series), like the Flash and Supergirl series, and still am very interested on Game Of Thrones plus of course any reminiscing about excellent past shows, like Buffy.

I know lunabee34 is into Game of Thrones, and navaan and siriaeve are watching Supergirl. For MCU maybe check out some people who signed up for marvel-bang.
Some people from my flist who post about fannish stuff: sholio, spikedluv, veleda_k, snickfic, giandujakiss, igrockspock, endeni, frelling_tralk, destina, havocthecat, luzula, mfirefly10, netgirl_y2k, osprey_archer, seren_ccd and tarlanx.

Fandom definitely isn't dead and I hope you find places to enjoy it.

Liked this fanfic:

"Factories That Make Factories"
Goyle&Snape
Black sheep and the simple things in life. Fluff.

Also, I like limyaael's rants (advice on escaping cliches and becoming a better writer):

and her HP fanfic may be good too. So far, liked the writing style in "Maze of Light" and since she wrote "an AU of Harry Potter's school years", there is much to read, if you like her.

Ooh. I do love a good rant, so definitely checking those out. I'll have a look at the firs too, thank you. :)

For fics recs, I used to love "The FicNifflers Recommend... " :

I wish I was in active fandoms too. I will check out the sites recommended here.

I'll let you know if I find anything else!
