Speaking as a person who loves, adores and still follows the canon from my previous fandom, I fully understand. I was so reluctant to let go of my fandom, because it was the most inspiring, fun community I'd participated in possibly ever. But the wanks, whether minor or major, kept re-surfacing - it was always the same goddamn topics, with the same goddamn know-it-alls and moralists and anti-moralists arguing their cases in tl;dr when they could've been producing fic - so the creative side of the fandom just seemed to die altogether.

My advice: grab the friends you made in that fandom and stay in touch with them via Facebook (if you're close enough to know each other's real names) or Twitter or even just email, and then leave the fandom for good. If you didn't make any super-close friends, just leave.

You might actually discover those friends abandoning the place with you, and then you can squee and discuss one-on-one, and it's actually better than inside the wanky community.

Thank you so much - what you described happening with your previous fandom is pretty much exactly what I've found in mine. And thanks for the advice - I'll definitely be taking it!
