metafandom is a newsletter community on LiveJournal. It was founded in January 2005 by lim, Cathexys, Fabu and Makesmewannadie.
The idea to create metafandom came from a conversation with Sophia Helix, on her post the waning of ambivalence, during which she said:
... wouldn't it be great if there was a fandom newsletter that just linked to *everything* interesting? It wouldn't have to point and laugh, or even comment at all, just list the hot spots people are gathering in. With the terrible dispersion that LJ has afflicted upon fandom (I couldn't possibly friend everyone who's interesting on, so I rely upon links to find out what's going on), such a newsletter would be invaluable.
