Well, I stopped writing in fandoms because I got kind of burned out a few years ago, and these days I write original stories and don't have "extra" for fandom. I don't have the motivation to write for fandom, or the inspiration. I'm fine with looking at pretty pictures on tumblr and saving the brain space necessary to write for my own writing.

Writing fanfic requires a lot of passion, motivation, and time. If you're obsessed with something and feel the urge to write, that's when it happens. To me the motivation is largely intrinsic (either it's there or it isn't), but as well, if it's not fed with people actually being interested in reading and interacting on some level with me about the fic, I lose motivation to continue (or at least motivation to post).

I found the second part of that out when I tried writing in a fandom that was dead.

Yeah. I might as well keep my stories and ideas to myself, really. It's a lot of effort for kudos and likes, which feel useless on the communication front. Like ringing the doorbell but not coming in.
