In the case of Mountainwest fans, Dicentra set up a Yahoogroup so we 
could plan meetings. The two of us had been corresponding for a while 
once I learned she lives just a few miles from me; I met her when a 
couple of fans from a town south of here dropped in a visit. (Amanda 
and Jen, Utah's answer to Gred and Forge.) Then Mary GrandPre, the 
illustrator of the American books, came to SLC to lecture at the 
library, and Dicey introduced us to several SugarQuillers, filk 
writers, and people she had met at the Nimbus convention. Salt Lake 
harbors a lot of fanfic writers for some reason.

I believe there's a link to local HP Yahoogroups on the HP4GU home 
page. (I'm sure one of the elves will correct me if I'm wrong.) All 
it takes is one person to start the ball rolling. 

You may discover more closet Potterites in your town than you think.
