I always tend to just drift in and out of fandoms. I went from Buffy slash to nsync slash, and while I was somewhat active in both, I fizzled out on them after Buffy started annoying me and Nsync split up. I still read in both, particularly favourite Nsync stories, as they never fail to cheer me up when I'm feeling down.
After that, it was Harry Potter for quite awhile. I stopped being active in fandom after HBP, though, mostly because the books started pissing me off and I needed to take a step back. I don't think I could ever write for it again, but I still read.
I had a brief fling with QaF, but I was a Brian/Michael person, so the fandom really got me down. When the show went completely downhill, I stopped bothering.
I also had a short brush with Veronica Mars fandom, but I never got involved. Another case where canon started to bother me enough that I needed to step back.
Now, I mostly hang out in Doctor Who fandom. It's the first fandom I've ever used my personal lj for - prior to that, I just started a new journal when I joined a new fandom. Filters are brilliant.
