pensnestName the fandoms you've written in, and how much you've written in that fandom, and if you still write in it.
ST:TNG was my first fandom, some 60,000 words in total in fourteen and a half stories. Then I wrote one solitary Harry Potter story and a couple of fics for The Archers, a long-running radio soap in the UK. (The BBC, in its awesomeness, actually encourages fanfic to be posted on its Archers pages, though I did not put the "Adam and Ian get together" story there.) Oh, and there was a story based on Independence Day, the movie, because Brent Spiner played a mad scientist in that. I've written one Stargate: Atlantis story, for the I Saw Three Ships challenge in 2009.
Aside from that, Popslash! Fandom of my heart, currently at well over 400,000 words in around 150 stories, and I still have much to write. And recently, Glambert - basically, stories with Adam Lambert in them, most of which are popslash crossovers featuring Lance Bass, but there are a few which aren't Lance/Adam. Adam canon has much that is awesome, but it lacks the fabulous flexibility of popslash, and Adam more obviously inhabits a world I don't know enough about. Still, I expect there will be more of these when I get my inspiration back.
On a tangent: I think I might have written Firefly had I got more deeply into that fandom; if I'd found a fandom for Crusade (the Babylon 5 spin-off/sequel) I might well have got writing in that one, because there was so much set up when the series was cancelled. But it seems I do need the fandom as well as the story inspiration - and besides, since discovering popslash I like RPF canon so much that I'm not sure I'd be able to go back to fictional canon.
