fic discussion communities or fanfic "book club"?

Are there any discussion communities where folks discuss individual fanfic or groups/genres.
Not necessarily a rec site or critique, per se, but rather a discussion about what goes on in a story what the author might have meant, themes, whether a story goes too far.

FWIW, I don't consider this something for coffeeclub - any time I've attempted to discuss a particular fic or author, the discussion has been shut down.

I'm imagining something more along the line of marathons or a book club where everyone reads a fic then discusses the fic. Come to think of it, there used to be something like this, but it was rather structured, I'm looking for something less structured where someone might start a thread and others pick up the conversation.

I only ever saw Bunny come into one of your posts, and that was to ask about taking down a link. The issue with some fic discussion, and it's gonna happen no matter where you go, is that it can, and has, dissolved into wank. And that is not something that a mod wants to deal with.
