I will classify what I do as fandom. I moderate, organize, i sew, i "model", i act, I make fan art, and occassionally write. Like you this is my hobby. If all ended tomorrow, I can walk away with my idenity in tact. Why? My hobbies change as I do, my interests shift like sand dunes in the wind.
I use to motorcycle a lot more. It was a hobby. I fixed up my bike, I traveled to places as an exuse to ride the bike. This doesnt involve an audience, yet motorcycling and fandom give me pleasure.
In fandom audience or "community service" come into more play, it is the nature of this particular beast.
I do not "crash" after a big project. I feel accomplishement, and sometimes relief. WHat happens to me is I sometimes crash after a convention. I think it is a drop in adrenalin, and missing my friends. It's also coming off busy schedule for work and heading into busy schedule for con. =)
I know exactly why I do what I do. It doesnt feel like I ripped my skin off. However, I hope that in what I do, that I do it justice.
Those voices are simply your muse or imagination. Most alternative fandoms do not offer me the flexibility potter does. These newere fandoms are tv or movie base. The creative imagery is alreadty established and the expectation is mimicry of the illusion. It's not mine, I find reproduction dull. Writers don't have the vsual constraint.
I dont write, not because i dislike writing. I dislike typing. My typing only gets worse too, I discover. I type all day, and I found that if I continue typing as my hobby I begin to hate it. It does not give me joy. I wait for the day until a truely functional voice interface exists, then I will get back to story telling (not typing).
