Where have all the muses gone?

Am I the only one really craving post TDH fics?

August, I could understand there being so few post TDH fics.  WIPs that had been started before needed to be posted. September, again,  I could understand.

But half a year later... I don't understand that.

There's so much backstory and a nineteen year gap to work with. So why not write about that? That's what I think a lot of us are more interested in.

I mean, I don't mind it if people don't want to stick to pre-TDH universes, I just don't know why more people don't want to work with the new canon.

Maybe it's just me, but I've fallen out of the fandom a bit. The story is complete, and I enjoyed the ride. It makes me sad to type this, but I think I've moved on. I still love Harry Potter, but I don't know if I consider myself a part of the fandom anymore, outside of livejournal and the occasional Leaky or F_W check.

Not just you. I'm in exactly the same place.

That's understandable - I'm sure if it weren't for my plotbunnies and LJ, I would too. Fandom and the books are keeping me into the other, it's a bit of a cycle.

I'm more talking about the fact that even though many people are still in fandom and writing fanfics, their fanfics are still pre-TDH. It's not a bad thing, but I'm curious as to why more people aren't writing post TDH fic as opposed to the pre TDH stuff, with the exception of WIPs started before TDH.
