This page is a mess but it's still under construction, so that's okay.
To the best of my knowledge, Livejournal was not a bustling hub of Maximum Ride fan activity, as it was for some other fandoms at the time. There was, however, some activity there, including icon-making, fanfiction, fanart, fanmixes, and a little bit of general discussion.
So here is a little showcase of Maximum Ride fandom on Livejournal. Depending on when you read this, some of these journals may still be live, but I've chosen to primarily link to archived versions since nothing, not even Livejournal, lasts forever. (For technical reasons, I've made an exception for entries that either gathered interesting comments, or were image-heavy -- at this time, I'm not putting in the effort to work out a more elegant solution.)
Posts without a community listed were made to the OP's own journal. It wasn't unusual for LJ users to have more than one journal or co-own a journal with other users, and posting to communities was a vital part of LJ life.
Sections: fanart, fanmixes, fanfiction, book discussion, fandom discussion.
I'm still working out an easily-readable page design. Each section is organized chronologically, with usernames highlighted. My intent with this design is to help highlight the tempo of community life, and changes in participation over time.

Hee! The bookstore I work at got in our copies of Final Warning this morning!!! I was SO tempted to just sit and read it!!! But I didn't! Even though my manager said I could sit back there when my shift was over and read, I didn't! Cause I thought I'd be fair and read it when everyone else can ^^ But still!!! ITS THERE!!! I HELD IT! It made me very happy ^^ Its only 256 pages D: Which is WAY shorter than I wanted, but oh well, its 256 pages of Maximum wonderful-ness :Dessenceoftime
"Maximum Ride: The Final Warning". Community: maximumride. 17 March 2008.
First time posting here but I really just need someone to talk to someone about "The Final Warning." I got it today, right after school and finished in about 3 and a half hours. Let's just say, those were some *WHOAOMGAHHH* 3 and a half hours.superciliary

Well! I guess we can call this the official The Final Warning discussion post. xD I'll be adding a new quote to the userinfo sometime soon from that, but I've decided to wait a month or two to make sure not to spoil anyone."Quotes?". Community: maxfang. 5 April 2008.
I was thinking we could compose a nice long list of Max/Fangish quotes together, just because. XDchibimarchy

"Max and Fang and Angel OH MY!". Community: maximumride. 16 March 2010.
Helllloo.
I just finished reading Fang, the 6th book for those of you out of the loop. And wow... Everything that went on is just itching to be discusssed, but since it just came out yesterday, its quite doubtful that many people have actually finished reading it yet. And that is why I must, must, MUST get it out somewhere. Lucky yous, you get to hear all about it.

Simple enough I suppose.
I just finished the sixth Maximum Ride novel: Fang. And really all I have to say is...

I'm so thrilled to finally se a MR comm. I'd hoped one would have been created sooner (and thought of making one myself). Now all this comm needs is people...It's so hard to find Maximum Ride fan stuff, does anyone know a good fansite?

Alright. I've seen many many many different views on who should play Max and Fang in the movie; here's who I think would be good, although perhaps a bit old.

"Why I am not on Max-Dan-Wiz anymore? [Among other things]". 31 July 2009.
The answer is simple: I got banned. Yep, B-A-N-N-E-D. Not even for my amazing smut. Why? Because I said "crap" in the forums, "shit" in my FF and one "fuck" in my FF. Sorry, guys I'll miss you (and I'll ask nathan to tell everyone on MDW what happened.)
