I do miss fandom, a lot. It was a huge part of my life for a decade. I never thought I would meet so many wonderful people who were far more like me than I could ever expect.

Oh, goodness, yes. I basically stopped writing fic with the last round of hd_holidays (I have one unfinished H/D fic that was soclose to being complete that I still occasionally harbor delusions of finishing it, but I think the time for that has now passed). I'm still hovering around the edges of online fandom over on Tumblr (mostly for--yes, sorry--Sherlock and Marvel, haha), but that seems so much shallower and less centralized, and the experience isn't nearly as satisfying. Most of my fangirling these days is with a handful of local friends who get together for Sherlock marathons. (They're not slashers, alas. But they humor me.)

But, oh, yes, do I ever sometimes miss the sense of community that came with LJ, and being lucky enough to meet lovely people like you at cons. ♥
