Just curious (even though posting it on LJ will skew any sort of "real" results. Though I am hoping to entice some tumblrites to answer also).

I'm thinking about this because I have noticed a lot of LJians migrating to tumblr and it makes me wonder if that's because it offers a more rewarding fandom experience than LJ. For me, it's LJ. I enjoy tumblr but I can (and did!) go days without visiting it, but I can't go a day without checking into LJ.

I consider "rewarding" to mean where you get the most pleasure. Perhaps your "go to" fandom place. The one that is most satisfying as a fandom hangout. The one you feel most at home or perhaps the place you feel you belong.

I see them as totally different experiences which are rewarding in different ways. LJ is my fannish home, but Tumblr and Twitter and the AO3 etc have replaced some of the functions it used to have. I still do all the same things, but now different interactions take place on different sites. I resisted Tumblr for a long time, but in the past few months I've come to appreciate the low-stress option of just admiring the pretty pics when I'm not in the mood to engage much.

The low stress option of tumblr seems to be one of its most popular features. But it's a good point about each place fulfilling different needs. I can see that for sure.
