Late to comment, but..

I had a really good fandom friend in an anime fandom. She wrote slashfic, some pretty hardcore, for the two main characters - so did I, so we really got along. Thing is, she was a Muslim (and from a Muslim majority country). At first, religion was totally separate from fandom for her, and she was very LGBT tolerant. But she started worrying about her soul and stuff. She retired from the slash genre, but came back for awhile because she loved this particular pairing in the anime so much, she genderswitched. But then, that wasn't enough. She didn't want to write about characters having sex before marriage, so they had to be married in all of her fics (really weird for the characters in question). The anime featured "shinigami" and then she was worried that she was supporting false gods. Then the issue of anime being drawn, drawing pictures of humans was no good. Then music - music, she decided, was unIslamic. Finally, writing about non-Muslims might be showing God she encouraged people not to be Muslim, which of course wasn't true, so that was it.

She was my friend throughout most of this, but I'm gay myself, and when she'd unload all of this on me it really became too much. We got into a fight and drifted - sucks, because I really cared about her. But yep. True story of an extreme example of someone who quit fandom for religious reasons.

I remember reading this person's fics, and when she deleted all the slash. I'm sorry it got so extreme and that your friendship suffered. She was a great writer, and I hope she finds some balance in her life.
