Oh, I can see why it's palled on you a bit. I didn't mean to imply otherwise. And I really don't grasp the creative process very well (when it comes to producing fiction, I mean), so as I said, I don't think I'm entitled to wish differently.

Most hobbies do eventually come to an end (or mutate). You might never "recover," and that wouldn't be a tragedy, either. You've already gifted this fandom with a large body of creative work.
