People are different. For some people I know, happiness intensifies their ability to pay attention to and care about fiction, which is dulled when their lives are troubled. For some people, fiction is an escape or an active catharsis when their lives are dissatisfying, whether temporary or permanent. I mean, yeah, it doesn't have to be an either/or situation -- you might just be so used to seeing fiction and fanfiction as an escape that you don't quite know how to see it as a way of sharing or expressing your happiness. But if you don't see it that way...well, if your life is good anyway, why try to force it? Maybe that's what fiction is important for for you. There's different sources to these things. (I'm weirdly reminded of the fact that Charles Schulz was always best during the time when he was miserable and in a bad marriage, and his comics became tamer and duller when he remarried.)

I'd say one idea of seeing if it really is an either/or situation for you is to try types of stories that you haven't been interested in in the past, to see if different things speak to you now.
