Absolutely agreed on the 'fandom is the people' thing. I'm still close to a couple friends from my older fandom who still draw for the pairing, and I still love their work to pieces. Just because my well went dry doesn't mean I can't enjoy the fruits of their labor. <3

I'm actually the opposite on the writing thing though; it's been YEARS since I wrote anything fandom related, save for a few drabbles. But this new fandom/pairing (once again, icon related) has had me writing more fic/drawing more art than anything since my oldest of fandoms. And the voices almost flow naturally for me; that's never happened to me before. I've always been one of those fan-workers who take forever on a piece because the words don't come out right or the art takes 5 hours to draw. It's nice.

Right! <3

In my case, I still enjoy writing meta and discussing things. We're a small but dedicated fandom, and we all know each other despite our cliques, so it's really nice to have an online home, so to speak.

So I take short breaks in other fandoms, sometimes by writing, sometimes by reading. My latest reading-fest is in Harry Potter (if someone had told me I'd be reading HP fic a year ago I'd have punted them, yeah right), and though I've gotten small ideas, I've got tons of fic to read (vs. my small fandom where there's rarely anything new and good) aaaand I've been shut in for a few years so my creative well is just dry for that reason, too. I suspect once I get back to work (finally, next month) I'll feel more like writing, and of course then I'll never stop.

As for art, well, the best I can draw is... /points to icon, so I try to avoid that side of fandom. I have at least 5 close friends in the fandom who can do professional-quality art, so I just stick to writing because I'm better at it. (Though I have a few people who are ten times better at it than me, too. Haha!)
