I'm a forum admin for small fiction site called Cipher. http://www.cipher-wotr.com/forum/index.php
Most of the fiction posted is HP fanfiction, but original fiction and other fandoms are encouraged.
On the forum we have quite a lot of active members. Many of us are fanfiction writers and others original fiction or interested readers. What I love about our site is that it is not just one ship or two. We also are comprised of *het* and *slash* members.
On LJ I've found that most folks stay within a ship or two for HP, and het and slash hardly ever meet. On our forum we discuss more about writing in general, and personal things. Occasionally, our previous owner, Morrighan, will run her writing academy.
So while there maybe a decline in forum and message board participation, there are still a few thriving pockets left. LJ, after all, can be a big scary place for newcomers. There's nothing like joining a forum and having ten people welcome you and ask about what you like to read and write. Any questions you have, you know who to ask, and you know you won't get flamed for it.
