Hrmm. I haven't been to a con in a while, but the last one I was at (Escapade?), there were definitely people there who had no idea who anyone was on LJ, who had never come anywhere near an LJ. Their fannish spaces were entirely elsewhere. Where exactly, I dunno -- mailing lists? Actually, I do still know a couple of people who are only on mailing lists. Only a couple, though. (g)
And I was recently pointedly reminded by this person that LJ =/= fandom.
Also, for instance, isn't that whole crowd on Haven and Ephemeral still mostly LJ-shy?
Still, I'm with you. This definitely seems like the best and most cutting edge place to be a fan right now. *ducking the glares of anyone not on LJ who might still, somehow, see this comment*
