I never really got on with forums for fandom. They were too nerve-wracking for me

I think it helped that the ones I was on tended to be small and niche and very friendly. I still fondly remember the Farscape one that was just where all the Stark fans hung out.

I never used mailing lists, I sort of skipped that era with lack of internet

I was on a couple of Blake's 7 ones back in the day, and they were a lot of fun.

radw was terrifying

That was entirely too nerve-wracking for me! I tried hanging out there very briefly, but the vibe was horrible, and I beat a very sensible retreat.

I mean, we gave concrit freely and at length in a way that would have us ousted from modern fandom in a heartbeat

Yeah, it was the same on the mailing lists. And to a certain extent, I suppose, back in the LJ days. I do kind of miss that, too.

Aww, that's very kind! Don't worry, you read them at the time,

I did remember reading at least some ones you did. Couldn't remember if I'd read all of them, though, or what if anything I might have had to say about them. My OUaT days seem remarkably distant now, and that part of my brain seems to have largely shut itself down.
