I am not even the slighest bit interested in Tumblr. I think I might just be too old for it (and too old-fashioned), because every time I've investigated it I have quickly thought 'nope, I'd hate this.' So it's LJ/DW or nothing, here. ;)
I miss it too--I do a lot more RL stuff on Facebook really, because I have more RL stuff going on in general than I used to. But I miss how fun and exhilerating fandom used to be.
On a sort-of-related--this is why I had so much fun writing Skyrim fic! And I went to Ao3 and there's tonnes of it, most of which is total crap, but the fact it existed made me happy because writing cheesy stories about your video game playthrough is PLAYING in fandom the way people don't seem to much anymore.
Anyway, that was a digression, but it was something I thought of. I'm not very good with prompts or challenges, and I'm finishing a PhD thesis so can't promise to write things, but I will totally chat and talk about stuff and read things people write. :)
