Wow, this one has really tested my grey matter!

When I was deeply immersed in the supernatural fandom, I always said that this would be my last and only fandom because it brought me so much joy and inspiration, anything else would be a pale imitation.

Now that the show has long since ended and the fandom has dwindled somewhat, so has my participation. Livejournal is a shadow of its former self, both the communities that I modded there have retired and my Fanfiction muse is AWOL, and it’s a simple fact that the creative drought brought about by the show’s end has left a hole in my life.

Thankfully I still have the amazing friends that fandom has given me, and I’m in the lucky situation to be able to catch up with them regularly – in fact I seem to be attending more and more conventions at the moment!

However, given all of the above, I have revised my opinion regarding another fandom, I would be open to immersing myself in another fandom, however, I just haven’t found anything yet that inspired and energised me the way Supernatural did. Maybe I never will, but who knows? My mind is open!

I so hope you find something! There are so many shows around these days it is hard to keep up. Nothing has inspired me to write much, except for first, Buffy, then Arthur of the Britons, and I really miss the feeling of HAVING to write fic!

I miss that feeling too. I still think it would be very hard for me to match Supernatural, but I guess, never say never!

Best of luck!

it could be your next fannish obsession is just around the corner! it's out there, waiting for you. i kind of feel the same - i don't have the energy to get so deep into a fandom any more but i'd like something to pull me in again.

You never know. I just think, whatever it might be, it would have to involve Jensen in some way!

I hope you find your next fandom home! <3

Thank you. I'm still not convinced I'd find anything to inspire me as much as Supernatural, but never say never!

It may not inspire AS MUCH, but it may still inspire at least enough to be fun! :) With all my fandoms, I have my certain ones that have been more fun in their time, and ones that stay permanently no matter what! And then there are the others who are only passing fancies, and even some that may forever be dear to my heart but just don't seem to inspire the words as much. Best of luck with your hunt and all your endeavors!
