I remember there was some interest in feedback events or rec communities expressed in Snowflake posts, and most of the people I talked to were at least somehow active in HP. It seems that HP is still a huge fandom, but a lot of fans are active perhaps elsewhere and in different ways (just posting their own work and not commenting, if reading any, or something else).
But now I’m starting to get wild ideas. I don’t crave for a big community. Perhaps if there are ten or just five people who still write (also) HP fic and would like reciprocal reading and commenting, they could form a Minerva’s… no… All Owls’ Fic Club. A DW community where a member could post a (not too long, perhaps shorter than 6000-word, or 3000-word?) HP fic once a month, and there would be one or two fics every week for everyone to review and discuss in comments. The reviews could be copied and posted on AO3, too, if that’s where the writer preferred to collect all feedback. That would be closer to the interaction on my first fandom home, a small forum, where we read any genres and about any characters, than those LJ communities which were dedicated to particular characters or pairings.
