As a fic writer who has changed fandoms numerous times, people like you don't even bother me. If a fandom, for whatever reason, stops being enjoyable for me or I just stop being inspired by the source material, then why should I keep writing for it? If I'm not still interested in either the fandom or source material, then what I put out will suffer as well and then everyone still loses. It's just not worth it to me if I can't enjoy what I'm putting out, even if at the end of the day I'm the only one who likes it.

This is me to an extent as well. I've written in over fifty fandoms, though only about ten or twelve in any kind of volume, and I usually drift in and out of my main fandom of the moment within about a year or so. I tend to burn bright and short, basically. I've gone from megafandoms to tiny fandoms, and from tiny to mega, and accounting for the differing sizes of them, my reception has usually been more or less the same (mind you, I'm primarily a writer and don't get involved with a lot of other fandom activities, so I tend to miss a lot of wank). I write while the source inspires me, move off when it stops, and let the readers (and any unfinished stories) fall where they will around that.

Fandom is a hobby to me. I never tried nor ever intend to try getting a job as a writer, despite a couple of suggestions both in fandom and out, because I know for a fact that I couldn't manage it with the commitment and responsibility making a profession out of it would require. So I just write fanfic while the mood is on me, and let the rest sort itself out.

I do feel bad about my old fandoms.

It's never going to stop me moving on, though. It's never worth it.

It just doesn't work like some fanfic readers want. Fanfic writing is a hobby. If readers want guaranteed updates, they should buy books by writers who get paid for it.

It's all too obvious when professional writers lose their interest in certain franchises, but money talks, and readers get more books anyway, if what those readers mostly want is a regular quantity.
