Okay, I'm going to be the exception to the rule here;)
I tend to see fandom (while lovely and involving as it is!) to be secondary to the show.
If the show doesn't do it for me, then I don't care who's writing for it, I'm not reading. See SGA, Supernatural as examples. Sorry, but that's how I feel about it. How about you?;)
I've seen favourite authors up sticks and move to new fandoms and I haven't been able to follow because of the above. Hell, I've moved fandoms - more like downsized;) - but that's okay.
Why?
Because I've found a whole new raft of writers to enjoy and new friends too. Which is all for the good;)
As for letting go - It's annoying, but not as annoying when folk diss your new shiny fandom by saying '90% dreck, 10% good' with regards to fic! Grrr... And yes, I am hoping that I might make that 10% one day;)
