I think that happened with a lot of people around the same time, because suddenly all the big prolific names dropped out and the non-tumblr fandom really died down. It's still one of the only fandoms I've ever written in, and my roommate and I still discuss and share stories/art/jokes all the time, but I've stopped being involved in the online fandom altogether. It didn't help that my ships are almost all considered rare pairs and I was never all that into Kane/Toews (especially not now) or Crosby/Malkin (unless it was vary well written, which hasn't happened in a long time).

Sorry, I just don't run into people who were part of that fandom back when I enjoyed the social aspects of it, so I couldn't help having lots of feelings at you.
