The next fandom

Realized I'm in a lull right now-- recent fannish interests have been the Avengers verse, but there have been a lot of stories in the past few years, and while CA:TWS has inspired new creativity, I've reached that stage of fandom where I'm cherrypicking favorite authors and the highly recced stories, rather than devouring everything.

Usually by the point my interest in one fandom is fading it's because another has taken it's place. (X-Files, Smallville, Harry Potter, The Sentinel, CSI, Stargate Atlantis, Dresden Files, Star Trek reboot, Sherlock BBC, etc. my interest in them waxed and waned.)

In the past there was often a mass migration, as when my favorite authors all jumped on the Smallville bandwagon, then Supernatural sucked many of them in. But like everything else, it seems things are fragmented these days, not only are people scattering to diverse fandoms, much of the activity is taking place on Tumblr or other social network sites that I'm not keeping track of.

Guess this means more time to read paper books. And to wait and see what will be the next new thing to pique my interest.
