Any way that you can get yourself involved in social interaction is good.
Writing non-social stories can also be helpful. I haven't met nearly as many people through them, but it does on rare occasion generate PMs and meeting someone new. I think if my stories were directed in ways that were more intractable (as I suspect Osric's were, since they were more in sync with ongoing plot development) they would generate more active interest from other players, and that's probably a good way to meet people!
