Basically, creators have two ways to interact with their fans:
The official channels, like the official website or forum, Twitter or Facebook accounts, a relevant popular media website (IMDb for movies, GoodRead for books, etc.). These are easily searchable online using a search engine. These sites and accounts are usually maintained by their promoter or agent.
Some of the unusual haunts, like a creator-made blog, LiveJournal,WordPress, website, DeviantArt etc, or in a One of Us moment, visiting and interacting with fans for a day on a popular site like Reddit or a fansite. This is becoming more common as creators embrace connecting with fans via New Media. They allow some level of interactivity, like allowing fans to place comments that are read by and maybe even answered by the creator.
These are NOT their personal accounts, just their public accounts which they themselves reveal to fans, and are known to interact there. Please respect their privacy and keep questions on their professional life and work as a creator.
Links to examples goes on the trivia page of the Creator/Work, not the main page.

J.E. Sawyer, lead designer of Fallout: New Vegas has a Formspring account in which he'll answer what he can about the game, either about the story/lore or the gameplay (though he notes that he has no involvement of the writing of DLCs outside of Honest Hearts). For certain questions however he's proven himself to be quite good at responding appropriately.

As of 2015, the staff members of Everybody Edits play the game and interact with the fans. This is understandable, since all of them are Promoted Fanboys who were originally just part of the fandom. Some also use the official forum to communicate. This applied, but to a lesser extent, for the original staff members, who were more limited and inactive.note Except RPGMaster2000, who was well-appreciated by the fandom for interacting a lot and responding to concerns and questions.

When it comes to Transformers, there's a couple main venues. When it comes to the comics, the writers and artists can often be found lurking at the official IDW forums, or Simon Furman and Nick Roche have their own blogs. When it comes to the Transformers: Timelines fiction, the writers can be found at either the Allspark or the official fanclub forums (with the latter being paid-members-only).
