Fandom things

You know, sometimes I forget that not everyone who is a fan of a show is involved in fandom. This girl keeps bugging me on Twitter and accusing me of cheating in the SPN sigil game. Really, I'm in 4th place and she's still accusing me of cheating. Her logic is that there was no way I could get 300 people to join my army so I must have hacked the game somehow.

I linked to my army here, Twitter and Facebook. That's about 900 people right there. And, of course, because we've got that fandom community spirit people have been asking their friends to help me out and it's just sort of spread.

When I tried to explain this I just got sarcasm.

Ah well.

It's also amusing me that my friends on Twitter have just found a load of old Marksha pics that I saw months ago on one of my LJ comms. Some of you know which comm I mean ;) Again I forget that not everyone is on LJ.

For all its awesome I think LJ is quite an insular place. I mean if I get a new interest I don't really look outside LJ for places to frequent and talk about it. I'm not on any forums or anything like that, which I used to be back before fandom migrated to LJ. I'm not sure whether that's a good thing or not.

Do you guys hang out in fandom places outside of LJ? Should I be looking to broaden my horizons?
