I lost interest in Dungeon Meshi pretty quickly but this is one thing I really praise it's animation studio for. Releasing new episodes weekly was the best decision they could have ever made.

I've been saying that binge watching has been killing fandom for years! I miss the week long (or longer for mid season breaks and summer breaks) excitement that would grow in the fandom spaces while waiting for the next episode. The little teaser of "next week on..." and all the theories that would pop up. Then when the show aired and debunked all those theories, AUs or new theories would pop up. It was just a fun slow evolving space. If you binge a show you don't really have time to sit and process each episode and write whole reels and discuss with other people. It's just not the same.

I don't miss mid season breaks, but summer breaks were tolerable as long as the show didn't end on a cliffhanger.

[(Anonymous)]

Cliffhangers made the best fandom fodder! But only if it was guaranteed the show was coming back.

[(Anonymous)]

DA - I love and miss summer hiatus. I actually loved summer hiatuses most when the season ended on a cliffhanger. The agony was so sweet, and the fever-pitch of fannish obsession in the wake of a season cliffhanger was a special experience. XD

I don't miss the other, shorter hiatuses though; those were the worst.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't 3ven like week to week cliffhangers, so I'm not a fan of most modern TV.

[(Anonymous)]

I think it makes fandoms larger, but not necessarily longer-lasting. Fandoms mostly die when there's no new material regardless of size. The fandoms that continue to exist without new material are the exceptions.

I've been lucky to have been into fandoms that are fairly active despite a lack of anything from the main source, or weirdly fandoms that I did not expect to be as active as they are now despite finishing some time ago (mostly referring to Death Note and Naruto here - still getting the good memes and fanart from both of them).

That being said - I haven't really been into 'big & new' fandoms for a very long time, which seems to often fall victim to the sudden rise and fall of fandoms at a neck breaking speed. Not to mention the more intense drama in fandoms is a little more scary and certainly adds to the fall of these kinds of fandoms.
Yes there has always been drama in places like LJ and Deviantart, but if they had been as bad as the most recent kinds of fandoms, I probably would have been done with fandom once and for all.

The way fandoms move so fast is on the long list of reasons why I lost a lot of enthusiasm for it. I've always been one to stick with things for at least a year and a half (if not even longer) but everyone jumps to the next thing every few months.

[(Anonymous)]

A year and a half is a long time?

... I've only really been in 3 fandoms over 30+ years.

[(Anonymous)]

Nayrt - Yeah, to me that's not long at all, honestly. But I guess compared to people who jump fandoms every few months, it is.

[paperghost]

It is in modern internet standards, apparently.

[(Anonymous)]

Strongly disagree about books - one every 1-2 years is the sweet spot for book fandoms, not 2-3 a year, unless I guess they're very short. But even every 10 years is fine for books with a lot in them.

[(Anonymous)]

Not OP but I’m in a book fandom that releases one book a year. The fandom dies within a couple months of the book release. Nothing until the new one is announced and then after a couple days the fandom dies again until the book comes out. Rinse, repeat. I do think the drastically lower quality compared to the earlier books contributes to that, though.

[(Anonymous)]

That’s a common issue with the “one book a year” authors. It’s kind of hard to maintain quality when you’re expected to pump out a novel a year like clockwork. So they either start phoning it in or they split what should be one novel’s worth of story into three books so they can release it over three years with predictable “The Hobbit Trilogy” results.
