I don't think I've ever had much of a writing discussion on LJ itself. I use AIM or Yahoo or Gtalk myself. I keep signed on all the time even though I'm not always around, but it's a good way to keep in touch with everyone.
I don't remember seeing much in the way of writing discussions on LJ, either. I'm suspecting the lack of response I got was more from what I posted than where, though, but either way it's discouraging.
