So if all fic is being posted on AO3 and all graphics and links and whatnot are on Tumblr, how do people talk? How do people get to be friends? How do BNFs happen? How is their discussion *about* fandom? I'm not remotely fannish anymore, but I still check LJ occasionally in case one of my friends has said something. I feel like I turned into an elderly person in 4 years; fandom has changed that much.
