My first online fandom and principle pre-LJ fandom was Stargate SG-1.
My primary pre-internet fandoms (late 80s-early 90s) were Star Trek and Dr. Who, which I participated in via conventions and an honest-to-goodness in-person fanclub.
Yes, I kick it Old School.
And I find the people on LJ who think they invented fandom to be comically deluded. LJ is still just a portion of fandom, and not a particularly good way of interacting as fans.
