For my part, Castle was the first fandom I really got involved in where I felt the community aspect of it, and Kevin and Javi were the first pairing I ever successfully wrote for. While I'm fully aware that it's silly, I kind of got stuck on them as a ship, and as Jenny and Lanie started taking over romantic landscape on the show, it just became harder for me to enjoy it. :/

(I also had issues with how those relationships were written, but I don't want to get into a rant.)

Having a bunny bouncer again (or just someone to talk about fic with in general) would be nice. I had a LJ friends I'd chat with about fic, but they've mostly wandered off due to having actual lives...

Do you use IM of any kind?
