I haven't been an active part of 'a fandom' for years now and have to say that in some ways it's nice - I get to be part of wider Fandom without the nonsense of the fandoms themselves... but I do miss a lot that way. I think it's why I tend to use FB to keep in contact with people.
It's ten years since I joined HP fandom and found youse guys. I stayed in fandom because of youse guys and I'm glad I still keep in (some) contact with the people I got along best with... but there's nothing like being in active fandom. That's what all those writers and commentators don't get when they try to write about us.
