Ok, I am posting about drag queens again but this time it's more because I need help from my f-list

I get that LJ isn't really considered where it's at or that popular anymore. But where the heck does one go when they get into a fandom and actually want to communicate with other fans??

I've tried several things...

Got a Twitter account since RuPaul made a #sharonandalaska4ever hashtag. It's cool seeing what others post there and I had a nice exchange with another fan, but it's all so brief there. (I know. That's the point of Twitter!)

On FB, I read and comment on posts, I 'like' other people's comments, and I even messaged two of the others who seem to be the most die-hard fans. But I've had no real interactions there.

There are several Tumblr pages (some geared towards Sharon, some towards Alaska, some to both), but Tumblr has always been a mystery to me. My skill has always been words, not images. I can't even make a basic icon for LJ, so posting and interacting on Tumblr has totally escaped me.

I like all of these forums, and I know I'll sound like an old fart when I say that I miss how it used to be in fandoms. I remember getting into the Misfits (in 2004!), finding denisia on here, and loving talking about our fandom via email. Or getting into Firefly and finding some active LJ comms - and getting that interaction with other fans (including some people I'm still friends with) via posting and commenting.

Where do you go if you want to have a dialog with other fans?? Am I missing something? Should I just do what I did for Azazel/Riptide in 2011 and create an LJ fan page? Back then I'd feared that only like 10 people would join but we got to over 130. Should I just try it and see how it goes, even if LJ isn't cool anymore?

I think I really need to pay some 18 year old to sit down with me and teach me Tumblr and how to make visual stuff, maybe give me some Twitter pointers too....
