You know I'm totally failing at fandom right now. I only read one story of the [livejournal.com profile] snarry_games,I haven't tried reading fics recced by newsletter in ages, I'm not even considering trying to follow Remix, I'm not readng the fics that we recced to me, and I'm barely reading from the comms I've joined. I even hardly have the focus to concentrate on fanfics by writers I love.

I'm afraid I'm getting tired of fandom. I think HP has been my longest fandom to be in actively at this point. (I was in ASOIAF for about two years, BtVS for a year and a half, one year and some for Exalted, and about a year and a half too in Tokyo Babylon, IIRC). I think it's probably more that I'm tired with lots of things. Very bored with work, for one.

First turn of the French elections also rather disapoint me. Which is silly because there were little to hope for in the first place. The left is doing the same mistake the American left has done for years, which is to count on anti-Sarkozy feeling to get elected instead of having a good program themselves. They forgot about being no such thing as bad publicity.

hmm I don't think I'd mind getting into a smaller fandom next. HP is well organized which is cool, but other fandom can be more... intimate, you know? And slightly less hectic in term of pacing ^^

I think most people experience burn out at some point. I sort of admire the people who stay for years and years on. Maybe you're right about writing original fics.

*hugs*

(even when it's not about fandom, I love reading your entries on lj, I hope quitting fandom wouldn't meaning leaving lj for you!)

I'm pretty sure the only thing that will make me leave Lj is having my internet turned off. I have been blabbing on here for longer then I even knew fanfiction existed.
