YES! It's so nice to be able to actually talk about media with people. I wish there were more of it these days, but I take what I can get.
It's still going on, it just takes a bit more effort to find, I think. I also think that as fandom has become bigger, there's just more discussion going on — but of a much wider range of things, so it's harder to find conversation about specific media. Maybe it's easier if you're into the megafandom of the moment, but that's basically never happened for me.
I'm thankful for the fan community. I know there can be a lot of drama, but there's also a lot of goodness and a lot of things you learn from other people.
Absolutely! And as to the drama, I'm grateful that it mostly takes place on Twitter and Tumblr, rather than Dreamwidth, so I can avoid it for the most part.
