Final season...What happens after? Getting a few things off my chest.

By now I'm sure everyone has heard that the upcoming season of FIM will the last. And I think this is wonderful news, albeit a little sad. One of the hardest things about friendship is having to say goodbye and I will miss the show. But it's better to go out on top than go down the road of declining quality of shows like the Simpsons or Family Guy.

What actually bothers me is thinking about what's going to become of the site? Is it going to still be around? I guess that all depends on whether G5 attracts the same crowd this generation did. I've been working on this story for three years and just as the first major arc is ending, so is it's source material. Many of us will move on to other fandoms occasionally returning to this one for reunions.

I guess this post is to get some uncertainty about the future of my story off my chest. I know I'm not the most active poster. I like to make sure everything is just right before submitting a chapter, sometimes I can take weeks off to catch up on life. And just when I'm getting back into the swing of things after the holidays, I feel like I've suddenly run out of road.

How many years will I have left to work for this fandom? How long will it interest me? Part of me sees how ridiculous it is to get anxious about this, but the other part of me is already missing the good times I had reading, writing and talking with people here. I don't have a lot of friends where I live, and I don't get out much since I don't have a car. It can get kind of lonely sometimes. My brother moved to Texas a few years ago with his wife and two sons. I don't see them much.

Sorry, I didn't mean to type up my inner thoughts like that. I just need to get this out of my system. Even if G5 turns out to be a steaming pile of horse manure that makes G3.5 look good by comparison, Fimfiction is probably gonna hang around for a few more years.
There are fandoms decades old that are still going strong, Star Trek, Star Wars, Harry Potter, Dragonball, People remember how these touched their lives and hang onto them. Why I've still got all my old Godzilla toys on my top shelf and my N64 which is over twenty years old. Just because the show is ending doesn't mean the fandom isn't and even if it does life still goes on. Thanks for hearing me out on this everyone I feel a lot better getting this off my chest.
