Even the biggest fandoms eventually fade, such is life.

Sic transit gloria Tau'ri

If it makes you feel better my fandom finally died with geocities, and it was once one of the two biggest on the early internet.

[(Anonymous)]

...Xena?

[(Anonymous)]

Ranma, its now down to few intermittently crappy stories over on the pit. few more years it'll be gone entirely

[(Anonymous)]

Oh, I see.

[(Anonymous)]

There's still some awesome stories up for Ranma, like the Taming of the Horse series but they're on individual pages not archives.

Also, try going to the geocities page, and change the g to r so it says reocities and you might still be able to access some of them now and/or later b/c of the geocities preservation project. Or try the webarchive pages.

Loling at Xena. There is still a shitload of fanfics and archives for Xena up.

[firemelon.livejournal.com]

I love Ranma, idgaf. Even though I still haven't finished show or book... :(

What was the second one. WAS IS SAILOR MOON?

[solarbaby614.livejournal.com]

By the gods, I miss this fandom. :/

[popkin16]

This makes me sad, anon. And kind of scares me - the SGA fandom is my main fandom, and I'd hate for it to die completely on me. I feel you :(

Re-reading the old stuff isn't the same, I know, but hopefully there's enough old stuff posted that you don't have to read the same fics repeatedly?

[(Anonymous)]

TBH, I haven't seen much "fade" in SGA fandom. I think the flow of fic is pretty steady.

[popkin16]

Oh, it's steady for sure - but a lot of writers have moved on to Merlin, Hawaii Five-O, etc. They come back for certain fic events - sga_santa for example, but their main fandoms are no longer SGA.

The flow is steady, but slower than it was back when the fandom was huge.

[(Anonymous)]

Really? I think it's pretty dead.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, I finally have to admit to myself that SGA is dying. :( I check the comms every few days for new fic, but it seems to be all Sheppard-centric porn and badfic - and not even much of those. It was fun while it lasted, tho.

[(Anonymous)]

I just think it goes in cycles. Before summer last year, jeez, it was slow and then a bunch of fics were posted all of a sudden. It's probably pretty desolate if you're not into McKay/Sheppard because I think McShep Match is the biggest fandom event all year.

Actually, the Reversebang had close to fifty people sign up, which is something like double what it was last year? So I think it depends.

[(Anonymous)]

Considering how bad the "official" books are, it's probably better for all of us that Stargate dies.

[popkin16]

The 'official' books are pretty bad...

[(Anonymous)]

OP, fandoms have ups and downs. If you're not a writer or artist, you could show your support for the fandom through feedback. Sometimes, just knowing someone still cares rekindles a writer or an artist's interest in a series. It's happened to me. FWIW, I don't think Stargate fandom will die. There are too many people who grew up on it or fell into it and love it. It's an under appreciated but very significant fandom. :)

[xxsomeoneelsexx.livejournal.com]

Perhaps this is a weird opinion/viewpoint, but I don't believe that fandoms ever really die. Not only is all the old stuff still up, people like you still remember and like the source material, yes? Even if new stuff isn't getting posted, the fandom lives on in the minds of the fans.

But, uh, your definition of "fandom" and "die" may vary wildly from mine, so I don't know if that makes you feel any better. >__>;

[(Anonymous)]

The old stuff might still be up (although as time advances pages and archives vanish, dreading when ff.net vanishes from the web), but there are dino skeletons up and on display in any natural history museum in the land. Doesn't make them any less dead though.

Fandom dies when the new stuff slows to a trickle of bad-fics, porn-fics, and script-fics, all of which have no redeeming value whatsoever. Or even stops producing new stuff whatsoever. SGA is on that downward slide right now.

[(Anonymous)]

Bad-fics, porn and script-fics... Not sure what script-fics are but if that is all you see then I guess all my stories must be badfic. Explains the lack of comments.

[u2angel.livejournal.com]

That was my first fandom too! If it weren't for Stargate, I probably wouldn't have discovered slash when I did. It's been years since I've read any fic. At one point I was making my way through the Area 52 archive. One day i'll get back to it.

[(Anonymous)]

Oh, ffs. Subscribe to the AO3 feed and you'll get new fic pretty much every day. There are still plenty of active challenges and exchanges in SGA, and I'm not in SG1 but I did read last years Apocalypse Kree fest. The anonmeme and kinkmeme are active: I think the fandoms not dead you're just not in it anymore.

[(Anonymous)]

This. Most of the time people complain that a fandom is dead, it seems like they're really complaining that their personal interest has waned.

[(Anonymous)]

Note to a lot of people here, it's an SG1 pic, not SGA.

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

Awwww! SG-1! My first real fandom!
