I feel the same way, Roger. Probably it's also because the Dukes stopped showing (fortunately not in Italy, no flag controversy here, so TVs keep on showing it, as actually). I feel the same "abandon" as a fanfic writer: there's a page on Fanfiction.net devoted to the show, and, since two years ago, there were a lot of writers (and reviewers), but along the years there's a drop, and I think for the same reasons you're talking about: life... and other Tv-shows/books and hobbies. You know, from time to time I looked at the profile page of old writers (and readers), and, sometimes I find out they simply stopped writing, and sometimes I realize they're keeping on writing in other fandom (Supernatural, Twilight, Harry Potter, and so on). They're too busy with real life, or they're interested in something else. I scratch my head asking to myself: "How's possible you're writing for the same Fandom since 2007, and JUST for that fandom?" And you just gave me the answer: It's hard for me to relate to losing interest in The Dukes of Hazzard because I haven't since 1979. There have been times in my life that the show wasn't as high on my priority list as other hobbies but it always moved back up after those others came and went. I'm realizing the importance the show has had in my life, since I was a child, and I'm realizing my deep (and maybe childish) affection for a character who's been the FIRST love of my life. I've always loved a character (and, beside that character, the TV-show) and I show this love as a fanfic writer, and you love the TV-show showing your genuine love in this Forum, and you, as me, are wondering how people can forget a so deep and genuine love, started so many years ago.
