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.

Yeah. The only people I have actual connection with are people who are hear anyway. though it's been nice to see some gif sets I've made get lots of notes. That's been rewarding. Though also weird because anyone liking or reblogging something you've made pass it on because someone they are following has passed it on. So the creator seems to be removed from the process. Once it's out there, you have no control of it. I both like and dislike that.
