I'm still relatively new to the fandom and trying to find out where all the cool kids are hanging out. Not livejournal, apparently, not AO3 (at least not in a feedback friendly way) and I'm not sure about tumblr. So I landed here, but not sure if anyone is still on here either. If you know where I could go, I'm open to suggestions. Is there even a fandom space where people are still talking to each other? Maybe it's just too hard for a newcomer to get a foot in the door in a fandom so huge?

Read it on AO3

Thanks for the tips! I'm not sure if participating in fests is a good idea for me because I get stressed easily and that's why I don't usually participate in exchanges or Big Bangs or whatnot because I fear I wouldn't be able to finish something in time. But you are absolutely right about the fact that these fanworks usually get more attention, so maybe I should get over myself and try...

Summergen does sound amazing (and maybe even low-key enough for me not to stress), I just looked it up and it is still alive and kicking. Only just finished, though, so I'll have to wait quite a while. Not sure if I'll still be around in SPN fandom come May.

The fandom calendar was also very helpful advice. I thought things had migrated to tumblr and I thought it was very confusing finding out what was going on on there, but having everything in one place is very helpful.

Thank you for your help, much appreciated by an SPN fandom newbie! :)
