Snowflake Challenge Day 14

In your own space, talk about what you think the future holds for fandom.

This is a particularly apt question this year, isn’t it, with fandom’s future platform still up in the air? I must say that Tumblr has collapsed less than I would have expected after Tumblrgeddon, but then, LJ didn’t collapse all at once after strikethrough either - so in the same way, this is probably only the beginning of Tumblr’s long slow end and there will be holdouts who stay there for years after most of fandom has left.

I’ve been enjoying the Dreamwidth renaissance, but I don’t expect that fandom will settle here as a whole: the image hosting is just not strong enough to support fanartists and gif makers. So we’ll see where that lands! I personally intend to stay here till the site explodes or the internet goes out, whichever comes first.
