I think 'waves' of popularity are normal. I have every faith that when "The Next Big Thing" comes along, people will be back.

True, though there are currently a few big things - The Hunger Games, Game of Thrones, and a few others. But maybe there's a difference between a lot of fans and large fanbases...

Yes, there isn't much fic and fan interaction in those series. I think mainly because they are finished or so far underway (by the time they caught on and got really popular). There wasn't the waiting period that Potter fans went through and subsequently bonded over while writing fic and discussing our theories.
