So my question is this... have you had a writer you've regularly enjoyed move fandoms or move on completely?
Yes. Several.
Do you read "outside" your fandom of choice for the writers you have enjoyed in the past?
Yes. In fact, I've discovered some fantastic fic this way.
How do you feel when someone has moved on and you're not ready to let go yet?
Well, I'm sad. But I understand it.
I used to be in the Sentinel fandom....was rather prolific (heck, all told I wrote over a hundred stories). But I've moved on. I rarely even read sentinel fic anymore.
I think fandom is sort of an evolution. I basically went: B5, Sentinel, Smallville, Supernatural.
The thing I absolutely adore about LJ is that you can pick and choose what you read. It used to be if you wanted to get a taste of a fandom you'd have to join a list or two (and then put up with all the cliche shit, in-fighting, etc.) On LJ, you can read recs. Follow an LJ without actually having to commit to it. It's much more accessible. Because of that, I've read fic that I never would have before. I can play in any fandom I want and post it to my LJ.
LJ makes it possible to keep in touch with folks who have moved on to other fandoms. While I might not follow them as closely, I know where to find them. *g*
