I was feeling that way until I found the Marvel/Avengers fandom. They are fun and welcoming (especially the Darcy Lewis fans, she's the sidekick of the love interest on Thor). I am having so much fun with it, more than I have since the Buffy and Harry Potter fandoms of old.

I hope you find the right one for you, anon!

*new Avengers fan fistbump*

OP

Ah, I used to be in the Avengers fandom way before the movie came out but I eventually lost interest about it. I still get updates about it now and then thanks to all the new fans like you, but eh, I guess I moved on.

Glad you found your place :)

Oof, I know that feel. I do have a "main" fandom taking up the majority of my passion but it's pretty dead, and although I'm still getting into new stuff I'm having a hard time getting into fandom proper these days? I don't know if it's that the fandoms I'm interested in attract a younger crowd now that I'm getting older or what, but I'm just not as excited about finding a fandom group to hang out with as I used to be.

hm.. I can totally understand that!! No fics? That's really sad! Which fandom is it? (if I'm allowed to ask)

OP

(Anonymous) 2012-10-13 10:04 pm (UTC)(link)
I had a precise pairing when I submitted this secret, but I can't remember which one because there are just so many (and I'm a huge derp).

A few from Hetalia, some from comics and books...It's just a frustration you get used to.

I go through phases like this. Right now I don't really have a main fandom, I just browse tumblr and occasionally read a fanfic or two. Sadly, most of the series I'm interested in at the moment don't have big or active fandoms, and if there is a fandom most the material doesn't suit my tastes. But it happens. Here's to finding a new fandom of your dreams!

(Anonymous) 2012-10-13 09:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, it happens to me, too. Usually I just wait until something else catches my interest,and so far there's always been 'something else'.

I've been feeling that way for sometime, though SWTOR has rekindled some of that. Just wish the kink meme was a bit more active. :C

But outside that, yeah....super bored. Nothing has caught my interest. Not even the fandoms I love.

I think I've been 'in between' fandoms for a while. According to my history page at AO3, I've read 4 fanfics in 2012.

I was in a place like that for the first few months of the year. It really sucked (especially since I could've used that kind of distraction at the time) :(

Good luck finding a new one!

Oh God, OP, that's awful. I was going through until right about last week, myself. Watching Supernatural always gives me the most awful writer's block, then I just sit there, completely indifferent to fandom developments.

Then Dean and Castiel hugged and all was right with the world. Have you tried getting into another fandom?

i'm in this position myself and it's lasted a long time

partially i think i'm just overworked and burnt out on fandom, but i still want to be involved in.. some sort of fandom

i sort of wish there was some place (like this lol) where fannish people just hung out without one *specific* fandom to unite them

preferably in irc chatroom form

but i'm dreamin :'{

Find a random active kink meme and go through the archives. That's what I do when I'm looking for a fun time.

Or, I highly recommend comment_fic community on livejournal, they have prompts every day, for all fandoms, active and long dead, or things have have never had a big fandom or a "fandom" at all.

Aw, I can relate to this. I've been there, too. I really have to be "grabbed" by a fandom. And it just has to be a good fit. So I go through dry spells sometimes.

Hope you find a good fit soon!

(Anonymous) 2012-10-14 05:50 am (UTC)(link)
My main fandoms are in lulls right now, and I've drifted off to a place that doesn't really have a fandom. It's weird when I get on tumblr and don't care to post or reblog anything. I have a weird irrational fear that when things pick back up in a year or so, I won't be interested or all my old fandom friends will hate me.

However, not being consumed by fandom is much, much better for my grades.

I was dealing with this until recently, then ninjas happened.

My advice? Don't force yourself, OP. Get out, try some new things. Read some books. Try a new show. Eventually you'll find something else that you love and if you're truly enjoying fandom, you'll get back into it.
