I participated a tiny bit in Misty Lackey fandom online back when, on GEnie. (You didn't give the big services an option -- GEnie, CompuServe, Prodigy, AOL, etc.) Before the web it was them or Usenet, and if you didn't have a university or corporate account with access to Usenet then the big pay services were the only large-scale game around.
I was a Trek fan back when I was watching the original series on TV and playing Star Trek on the playground in first grade :D but have never participated in Trek fandom online.
I did a tiny bit of fannish stuff online more recently, right before I got my LJ, reading and commenting in some of the archives and web sites, before someone I e-mailed told me about LJ and helped me get a journal.
Oh, and I participate a tiny bit in HP fandom on LJ -- mainly reading and commenting if Amanuensis posts a HP story, or if Isis recs a HP story -- but my major fandom on LJ is LOTRiPS, which qualifies as "large" even if you don't bundle it with regular Lord of the Rings fandom. :)
