Questions: treehouse reversebang, tumblr, hockey

Some questions
1. Is anyone interested in another Treehouse Reversebang round? What if the fandoms were reduced to Avengers, Hockey RPF, and Books of the Raksura? (Ok, and maybe Naruto. And Methos... crossovers.)


2. Is there some kind of idiots guide to Tumblr fandom? Because I do not understand this strange medium. And how much of fandom is over there? i.e. how hard should I be trying to understand this thing?

Oh yeah, and is there some equivalent of the lj user icon? I like to draw chibi icons, but is there some kind of equivalent in-demand graphic for Tumblr?

3. Is there an idiot's guide to Hockey RPF fandom? I don't mean the pairings I mean... where the fandom is. I am discovering that I am really out of practice at being in a current fandom. *facepalm*


Thank you, flist, for taking the time to answer all the queries I come up with. I feel extremely lucky to be able to just ask when I can't figure it out myself. :)

A random selection of people that I follow on tumblr then: mistfarer, hontology, oflights, salvamisandwich, and aggressivebutterfly all talk about the Pens quite a bit. witchspell, boldmatter, bestliars, puckling, and elqiao talk about mostly other hockey things, but interestingly ([personal profile] bestliar is also active on DW, which I appreciate because mostly this fandom is not.) This is only a tiny fraction, but these people are fairly active, and you can poke around and find other people from there, which seems to be the only functional way to get things to happen in this fandom.

I am not really a fan of tumblr myself, but that seems to be the only way to know what's going on, so I have succumbed. Hope this is of some use to you; I'd also check out the non-rpf specific places other commenters mentioned.
