Yeah, seems like they've lost interest, Anon, and that sucks. I've been there.
I would definitely look around for another person/people to share with, and just shoot your person an email saying something like 'I feel like you're really not into this pairing anymore, and that's fine, but I need more immediate feedback, so I'm going to be sending my WIP stuff elsewhere. Thanks for all your help! I'm happy to keep looking over your stuff, though.'

That way, since you've kind of alleviated their guilt, they might open up and tell you what's going on, or they might not. It's too bad they can't just be up front with you.

Good luck!

I suggested something similar! It might not hurt for OP to let them know they're also open to non-fandom things. But as I said in my own comment, be warned that they may not be interested in a non-fandom friendship. Hopefully they will,; they may in fact just not be sure whether OP wants one. However, I have to say that I was in a fandom that closed, and a lot of my friendships just ended. Including very close ones, which was so strange and hurtful. I sometimes think fandom's a bit like school or a workplace; you can be very close while you're both there, but once one or both of you leaves, that's it.

SA - To elaborate on my last point, obviously that's not always the case. Just like you keep in touch with some friends from school and work, you can have fandom friends beyond fandom. But often the friendship just tapers off. :/

It really is like that, sometimes. I have a few friends who are just *friends* - I've even met them in real life, and we talk all the time.

And then, some of my fandom friends have just drifted away, into other fandoms or into life, and they're just...gone.

It's a bit sad, but...there it is.

OP

[(Anonymous)]

Thank you for the advise!
I don't feel like we're drifting apart, but they do tend to lose interest in the fandom for a bit and return to it later, it happened a few times already. Whatever the reason though, I won't be sending them my writing anymore I think. I just finished a fic so it's convenient.
