The way I figure is if I try to write the kinds of things that I want to read for the most part, so if there are people out there that like my stuff enough to rec it, then most likely they've rec'd other things I'd like to read, and so it carries on.
(though I'm still trying to figure out how one piece I wrote managed to be listed one of the only three notable fic for that fandom on Fanlore. I'm thinking the author was abducted by aliens or something before they could finish their list.)
I guess fandom in general has just gotten too scattered, or too large and public, or we're posting too much from smart phones and tablets so that we need a platform that works with those technologies that the underlying sense of community isn't what it used to be.
