Oh, goodness, I know what you mean. I've tried to get into fandom the way I was, once, long ago. But I can't. It's not even a tumblr-specific thing; it's the sphere itself.

I remember the way it once felt to be involved. I couldn't wait to get home and visit my favorite forums, to log on to AIM and catch up with my fandom friends. I wrote and reviewed fic with genuine enthusiasm. I threw myself into the conflicts and dramas of the day and felt as if it all meant something.

But...

Fandom has changed. And so have I.

You've got company, OP. It happens. It's normal. And whether people wonder where you've gone is immaterial. Be who you are and do the things that you want to do. Don't let nostalgia hang you up. It's now that matters.
