Almost the exact same thing is happening with me with the HP thing. I feel really bad that I'm not more excited about the 7th book, lol. The only emotions I can sum up are nervousness for the fifth movie at what they're gonna cut out and stuff. I don't care about fandom, though; I haven't been involved with that fandom for years.
LOL at your Mohinder skin tone rant. I haven't actually seen any fics where his skin is described that way, but I'm sure it must be very annoying.
I heard they're going to cut out the Remus/Tonks-ness, thank goodness. And haha, I didn't even check to see if you're a Remus/Sirius shipper, but there it is. But it's good that I'm not the only one who's lost interest.
Haha, thank you. I try to make my ranting interesting. I encountered only the 452425425452th fic calling Mohinder's skin "chocolate" or "caramel." I'm like, "BWAAAAAH...? When did Sendhil = Taye Diggs?? DO NOT WANT."
Oh, my friend will be very pleased about the lack of Remus/Tonks (she's in love with Lupin). Remus/Sirius is practically canon, as far as I'm concerned. ^_~
I really need to learn how to use those voicepost thingies - that was fun.
I can empathize with you on your first point... in fact I know exactly how you're feeling. Mind you, for me it's more in regards to LOTR fandom, which I used to be so HUGELY involved in... and while I still love it, I hardly have any idea what is going on in fandom anymore and the whole thing is rather depressing.
As far as HP (canon) fandom goes, I probably peaked at around the time GoF came out, so I really only have my fairly recent love of R/S fanfic to thank for my involvement in anything HP.
Hopefully Deathly Hallows will be a sastisfying end to the HP era. :/
Awww, I don't wanna be not involved, though! I think part of it is the increased popularity of HP, which brings along with it extremely wanky Mary Sue fic writing 12-year-olds as well as 45-year-old wanky old slash pr0n writers. :((((( I miss Shoebox. I think it would def revive the HP love.
I know, I know... I hate feeling not involved. I'm sorry I don't have any advice, really. :/ And yes, there should be another Shoebox chapter. *sigh* Shoebox love makes the world go 'round.
Did you read my comment from a while ago about how I met Kayla of PieIX fame and she said Shoebox was still in the works, etc? *tries to be hopeful*
Yay for Shoebox continuation! I am sadly uninformed about PieIX, even though I should be, since I'm going to marry Jaida and all. And I dunno if you know about tappuri, but on there Jaida said that she and Rave are working on Shoebox right now... conceptually, at least.
I guess that means I should try to update askamarauder... *shuffles feet*
Okay, yes totally. Like, for the school play, I had to wear foundation and the stuff I had to use was like, exactly my skin tone, except it had a reddish tint to it, but my skin is olive-ish tinted and so that messed up the entire thing and I looked... strange. Not weird, but strange. See, that's why I usually don't wear foundation. Plus the fact that my skin type is different in different parts of my face.
...I don't know why I only got around to listening to this now, because you officially make the BEST VOICEPOSTS EVER. Have a shiny internetz award! *hands you one*

Light yellow? I think I would be... *searches intarwebz* like an ochre. But "chocolate" and "caramel" are waaaaaaaaaaay overused.
YAY! Jenny is amaaaaaaaaazing.
