Hi, here via metaquotes on LJ - I just thought I'd leave a note re: poll answers. I'm German, native German speaker, and my first fandom (that is in the sense of active participation on the internet) was the XFiles. I started out in the German fandom exclusively for a while, part of the reason being that my English wasn't sufficient for talking to native speakers, but got sucked into the English part of the fandom via fic reading. For the Tolkien fandom (being my current one since around 2002/3) I started out German as well, but am by now using English for ALL matters regarding fandom, even when talking about it/RPing with German friends - always English, and they reply in the same way. I don't know why, just thought it might be interesting for you. Fandom = exclusively English in all ways.
As for ConLangs, I know some Sindarin, Quenya and a bit of Adûnaic, and in terms of Others, Plattdeutsch, that is Low German as spoken in Northern Germany. Hope this helps some. Interesting poll at any rate.
