Thing is, I met my best online friends at a Harry Potter fanfic forum which they no longer even go to. Three years on, we still regularly Skype, text, tumblr message, twitter message and send letters via snailmail about a ton of things. I think even if they went off Harry Potter - the original basis of our friendship - and I didn't, it wouldn't end the friendship.

I know there are definitely friendships which seem to rely on a specific fandom interest or activity to continue, I've had them (and I've also had plenty of friendships which failed for other reasons), but those aren't actually the only friendships you will find in fandom - that is, if you're approachable in the first place, which it sounds like you aren't letting yourself be.

I, too, have a lot of problems looking back at the past and feeling sad that when I left school the majority of my RL friendships just... died. This was partly my fault, partly theirs, but it happened and it's done and it sucked.

But if you want to make friends ever again? Feeling cynical and hung-up won't get you anywhere, OP. You can draw parallels, but every relationship is different.

Just get out there and meet people. It's hard, but I'm sure there are people who share your interests - plural - and are lonely, too. Such is the nature of the internet, right? :)
