For me, fandom tends to be most appealing at the intersection of "thing I like" and "thing with a lot of missed potential". If there aren't a lot of blanks to fill in or dangling threads to speculate and fic about, I'm not likely to be actively fannish, even if I follow a series/author/whatever religiously.
