1) What fandom was it? Silent Hill 2) What was the medium? (e.g. was it a forum, a mailing list, etc) Forum 3) When was this? Today 4) Are you still active in that fandom? Yes 5) Why did you participate there, and not at a journaling site? More active base; multiple concurrent discussions 6) Are you more active in fandom on journaling sites or at other places? Journalism 7) How did the different mode of interaction affect your fandom participation? Discussions bleeding over through multiple topics 8) Does there seem to you to be a difference in fen between the other medium and journaling sites? What are the differences? Why do you think those differences exist? Is it the nature of that fandom, or do you think it has anything to do with where that fandom is taking place? Yeah, there's a difference. Its just the nature of the medium. Journaling is focused on one post at a time, whereas a board is less linear. 9) What were the fen in the other medium's thoughts on yaoi? (No, seriously. What was the general sentiment towards slash?) Eh, probably hostile? Never came up. 10) Was it easier or harder to get into a fandom through a medium other than a journaling site? Easier. 11) Which medium do you prefer? Either. Journaling has an advantage because I can check them all at ocne through my friends list though.
