You know, that's my question too: Like, not even "are there other multi-fannish conglomerations out there on another forum somewhere", but "are there other conglomerations on LJ we're just not seeing?" Because I'm convinced there has to be: LJ is just too large, otherwise.
Yeah, exactly. But even if they're on LJ and I don't know them or have never come across them, I still feel like...they're part of this CITY, they share our rules and etiquette, our memes and pairing conventions and ancestry and SERVICES.
I mean -- have they heard of yuletide? Do they use the Christmas wishlist meme, did they participate in fan_the_vote?
Because in my mind those are emblematic of the services and utilities of this virtual city, and what I'm trying to get my mind around is whether other fannish "cities" have similarly elaborate infrastructures, you know?
