I think that because having a livejournal is so multi-purpose, it's more organic somehow to have fandom-related communities that you can join or leave according to your level of enthusiasm for that fandom or community without having to leave LJ.
At the same time, you can have a random thought and post it in your journal as a part of an entry about how the grocery store never sells the kind of rice you love anymore, and friends may respond to either part of your post's content. It's more relaxed, and the individual has more control.
Plus, I think that inevitably, enthusiasm for a fandom may start to dwindle as hype about it dies off, as in HP. I guarantee you it's going to be a much smaller place in a few years.
