Sounds like my fandom MO. I enter a fandom that looks all new and shiny (note: it doesn't have to be a new fandom, it just has to be new to me), voraciously consume everything that passes by, and then start whittling my reading down to my forming OTPs, until either the fandom slows down or I end up with OTPs that aren't amongst the popular ones, so my voracious reading appetite is not being satisfied and I'm off reading fics in my minor fandoms to fill the wholes... and something else new and shiny comes along and I wander off to start it all over again.

I can roughly map out my fandom wanderings in blocks of years, though if it' a big fandom with a huge multi-part canon I'll stay for multiple years (I stayed for Final Fantasy because there were multiple games, Transformers because of succeeding movies and multiple other continuities).

I can also see this pattern of whittling down one's preferences in my fanfic reading history. Back when I first started reading fic on FFN, I read anything and everything and had a huge tolerance for the lower end of quality, and questionable plots. These days I don't have that tolerance and am generally more picky. I haven't left Fandom all together though, because good writers still crop up here, there and everywhere. It's just good luck to run into them.
