Ugh, I really hate when I start reading a long fic that seems pretty good and sucks me in, and then it starts to go downhill, but I'm too involved with the story to stop reading, even if I think I'm going to vomit if the author uses any more italics, and if the story line gets any more sickeningly saccharine. How many times can these (grown male)

Sounds like you came to the series right about when I did! I remember borrowing the first book from a British friend who was appalled I hadn't given the series a try. I didn't expect to like it, but I inhaled it and immediately demanded that he lend me the next three at once. :-D

Ah, it makes sense to start with a later season if that's when your character of interest was introduced! Castiel, I assume? (I've read some SPN fic, mostly AU's that can be read as original fic, or filthy stuff that hits my kinks. I love that the kink meme is so active. *g*)

I've tried out a few things since with an expectation that I might become fannish about them, but it's never really taken.

I've had that happen a few times too! Sherlock BBC for one. I know what you mean about the waning Trek fandom. Way, WAY too long between movies. :-( I am hoping that the next film will bring back the love for some of my favorite writers (and, sadly, for me -- at some point in the last month or two I seem to have crossed the line into "former flame" instead of "passionate crush" with that fandom).
