I know. The X-Files fandom is so scattered now and so walled-off. Ruuger posted this at xfiles and got a dozen people to sign up in a day. Another friend posted this same notice at Haven and maybe one person signed up. I don't get it. Haven is huge. They must have ten times the members, although I can't tell how active they all are. Probably the best response I got was posting it to my own journal. Heh. I posted it to tumblr and got a couple of people interested, too.

There are two people who post David and Gillian fan stuff to ONTD at livejournal. And there's the xf_book_club. That's it for active XF communities in journal-based fandom.

I don't know how to change that, or if it's even possible. The people who are at Haven never moved to LJ or DW. They aren't coming out of their cave. The new fans--mostly kids--at Tumblr are perfectly happy reblogging each others graphics and "feels." Who am I to say they're doing it wrong? But I miss discussion. And having a back and forth dialogue at Tumblr is near impossible.

Sorry. Didn't mean to turn this into a rant. Sigh.
