I hate that I do this. It's 100% irrational, but I can't help the little gut-twist whenever I see a friend or one of my favorite creators moving on from our shared fandom into something new-- it's a function of how hard I have fandom one-itis. My current fandom I've been in for three years, and it's starting to peter out now, which... like, I get, because nothing new will come out for it and there's a lot of new shiny stuff out there, but I'm gonna be here for a lot longer. The fandom I was in before this one, I was there for ten years.

I wish I could multifandom. It'd make my life a lot easier. The major one that people are leaving my fandom for right now is Good Omens, and I know I would enjoy Good Omens! I know I would! But I'm not at all done with my current fandom, so I'm just left with this feeling of being off-put and resentful whenever I see it. I hate it. :(

 I get, because nothing new will come out for it and there's a lot of new shiny stuff out there, but I'm gonna be here for a lot longer. The fandom I was in before this one, I was there for ten years.

Oh man, I totally relate to this. I've never made it to ten years with a fandom, but I was in one fandom from 2007 to 2012, then another from 2012 to 2019. Now I'm in a new one, but it's pretty small, and already on the way out of relevance, and I just dont even know how to handle it.

I dont really have an issue with resenting authors for moving on, but I suspect that's only because my last two fandoms were huge. Plus, I got into one of them years after the show ended, so most of the fic authors had already moved on. I was just chilling in the ghost town with a couple dozen others, bringing awesome fics that were written in the 90s. :) Good times.

I definitely know that feeling. I tend to be in only one fandom at a time, too, and will stay there for years.

That's too bad.

I usually take a look at the new fandom, see if I like anything in it, because if I do, then, wow, a whole new set of fics. If it doesn't do anything for me, oh well, maybe the next one they move to. But I do get a little resentful if it's for an awful piece of media (I mean actually awful, not bad in a fun way).

My OTP has so few fanartists. And this one artist who did amazing stuff moved on, and it made me really sad. But I've checked out some of her more recent stuff, and I don't really like her more recent style either. But it still makes me sad because she did some amazing stuff for my OTP.

I feel that way too and I hate it so much. :( I try not to, but I get so sad.

It'd be different if they still did some stuff for their old fandom, but nope.

Dude, literally same. Not even necessarily writers, but if people in my fandom leave en masse for another fandom (currently happening thanks to Good Omens, ugh), I fucking resent and hate that fandom automatically and basically refuse to even check out the series. It's petty and ridiculous of me, I know.

I got lucky that my favorite fandom artist moved on....... to another fandom I was in, which had NO correlation whatsoever to the original fandom (for what it's worth, it was Transformers---JoJo's Bizarre Adventure) and honestly it was a complete and total but pleasant surprise!
