Most writers are on Twitter or Tumblr. The level of communication you can expect is varied but usually quite minimal. Most usually have running Q&As with their fans. One that does so frequently is Briand Michael Bendis on Tumblr.

Your next bet is trying to meet them at a convention. Artists and writers are usually pretty accessible compared to other media guests, unless they are a massive name (Stan Lee for example) then you'd be lucky to get two words and a handshake (maybe a little more if you fork out for an autograph)

As for contacting Stan directly.... He does fan mail, but as ADour explained, all correspondence to Stan goes through his manager or some other person. I wrote to Stan once when I was 13 and I got a type written letter on company letter head from one of his assistants. It was basically a form letter saying "Stan really enjoyed reading your letter" and it included an autographed trading card (It was a cartoony picture of Stan, signed by Stan... Not a reproduction but real) This was 20 years ago when he was working at the now defunct Marvel Productions in California (around this time Stan was involved in the Spider-Man cartoon from the 90s). I suspect these days you'd write directly to his new company (Is it called Pow! Entertainment? Something like that). I couldn't tell you if they mail out an autograph of Stan anymore without charging you anything.
