Day 14

In your own space, talk about what you think the future holds for fandom. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

I have no idea. I'm no good at switching platforms. Hopefully activity will return here or go to other platforms that are about.

For HP in itself, it's shrinking and shrinking. Few fests, fewer people, even the big slash ships are being affected. It's odd but the new canon just isn't generating the same interest in the same way.

Or as I said, I've not moved enough with the times to know where it is.

Reddit's a possibility but it's not really built around friends like a journal site is, I think. It also has the voting system for posts so if what you say isn't popular you can get some stick.

New canon, would be pottermore but also the Cursed Child play and the Fantastic Beasts prequel films.

Thanks for clarifying the canon. I've not seen FB or the play. Youngest's GF enjoyed pottermore but then they broke up so I've not heard first hand accounts any longer.

I might play there on reddit for a while as I did with tumblr; tumblr resulted in online conventions, for Pete's sake, that were lots of fun and this took about 2 years to happen. Originally, the neverending gifsets annoyed me, even though they were put forth by the very folks I toddled after when they quit LJ, but after some time I whiz-scrolled right on by them to discover favorite fanartists' works.

Definitely worth poking around, you might find your new favourite haunt!

That could very well be!
