Conlang conversation partners?

Sally's questionnaire reminded me of my teenage years, when I had a circle
of friends with some modest interest in my conlang projects. I always had a
secret hope of getting a group of us who would actually put the language in
use, and accelerate its development through making it a medium of
communication. I had some modest success in persuading friends to use some
of invented scripts as ciphers, but getting anyone to take a whole language
to heart was well beyond the pale.

So how about the rest of you? Are there people on this list who are
conversant in one another's languages? Anyone have experience with
dedicated conversation partners and the effect on the development of the
language?

Cheers, Tom
