Late, but you don't need to apologize for rambling! That's what this community is for!

And I'm sorry about your fandom. :/ (For most fandoms) After a certain amount of time they fall apart, and about the only way to revive them is with new canon material. In most cases that isn't a possibility or doesn't happen, so they just lie abandoned. Does the fandom have any presence on tumblr (or reddit, etc)? The only thing I can think to do to help is check the tags, and if you find anything recent-ish then maybe advertise your community. (If you haven't already done that.)

You're right in that if you want to see change you have to make an effort, but that's often easier said than done, especially since it requires a certain degree of time and attention, and of course enthusiasm which can degrade as time goes on and things start to feel less hopeful. I think it's neat that you've put forth an effort, though sometimes there aren't people around to follow. :/

I hate Tumblr with a passion, but yeah, I was desperate enough to go there looking for my fandom. Found about two handfuls of picture posts, the youngest about three years old or so. And yeah, I advertised, even posted links to my fics. I can be persistent with promoting the things I care about.

I had hoped for new influx of fans because the series just got a re-run after almost ten years, and a DVD release in Germany for the first time ever. I mean, that's why I fell in love again in the first place, because suddenly it's available again.

but that's often easier said than done
It is, especially when you're usually not amongst the creator-types. Like I am. Normally, I consume and comment. I rarely, rarely manage to produce something. So keeping a comm alive by producing fic/icons/meta? Ack! Fail!
