"but there aren't the kind of meta discussions that gave rise to, like, RaceFail 09"
One thing to point out is that half that discussion was from profic authors/readers. There were a lot more of those types of discussions occurring at LJ, simply because the profic community and fanworks community were within the same social network.
I don't know whether such discussions are taking place now at Twitter. But they're not going to happen at DW, because the profic presence here is so much less than it was at LJ. I think that's a great shame; the profic community and fanworks community ought to be exchanging thoughts from time to time.
