OP, generally a couple of longer fics and as many kinkmeme fills as I can. Sometimes I'll have been kind of interested in the fandom for a bit and have a file of wips to finish off once I'm really into it, other times I'll just churn out one long fic from scratch. *shrug*

I can think of several writers like that: two of my very favorites have exactly that behavior, except they often write really good long fics (often over 5K, and more rarely over 10K). But they both have a very short attention span and once they have left a fandom, they never return...

I don't think this is anything to apologize about - speaking as a reader-only? I strongly believe fic writers should write for their own enjoyment, and my enjoyment and that of their other readers is only icing on the cake, not an obligation or a requirement for the writer, because after all, if I dislike a fic, I can just close the window and move on to a different story, no harm done!

So if this is your approach, sort of like hit and run when you lose interest, good for you: I never assume someone writing a good story (or several) in my fandom is any guarantee they'll stay churning out good stories for me for the next few years.

I think it is a lot more important that you keep writing characters and specific fandoms because you enjoy it. You, not me. Because trust me, I can tell when a writer is bored with a specific character or fandom, and I'd rather you did not waste your time so unproductively when you could be writing different characters while enjoying yourself.
