Are you multi-fannish, or one fandom at a time? Same fandom forever, or switching them up?

I've always tended to be multi-fannish - sometimes there will be one main, but I'm usually reading in at least 3 or 4 at any given time. Pretty much been that way the whole time I've been in fandom (20 years now.)

I tend to have one main fandom that eats up 85% of my fannish energy and then a bunch of smaller ones that split the remaining 15%. The smaller fandoms tend to shift around a lot (I'll fall madly in love with something and then totally lose interest a week later), while the main fandom will stick around for years and years.

Yeah, This is the same for me. I have a lot of smaller fandoms that I'm in for like a months or two tops, and then I'm done and onto something else (it's really important not to sign up for fests with these). And then a main fandom that's my thing for years. Though I also have a couple old standbys like LotR and Babylon 5, that I can go back to and be into at any time.
