Fandom chat?
This isn't really a discussion about the show, but sort of a social fandom idea.
Is there a chatzy or something similar that people tend to hang out in? Or if that doesn't already exist, does anyone think that it should? I think it might be fun and a way to get to know each other better than Tumblr or even LJ can really allow. People could just pop in whenever they felt like it or were online, and the conversation wouldn't just be limited to SP, though some great discussions about fandom could definitely come out of it.
I know the big bang has been doing weekly livestreams - I'm not sure how the turn out has been, since I've been unable to make it to any. But something along that line, only without the episode streaming, and not at any set time, is sort of what I'm thinking of.
I don't know, just an idea. I've been seeing a lot of things about people not feeling comfortable in the fandom or not fitting in, and I think almost everyone has felt like that at one point or another. So maybe something like this would help people be social, get the wallflowers to be more vocal, and create the sort of tight-knit community that the fandom has sort of lost with the anonymity of Tumblr. Maybe??
