read all these FanFics, respond to active threads, and contribute your
own FanFics?!?!?

Speaking for myself, I don't.  I follow the list as best I can, but I 
only actually read a small fraction of the messages (not interested in 
the spam).

I don't read fanfic much at all.  I simply don't have time.  I barely 
have time to write.  It's a lot harder to find the time to do things 
when you're 28 and work 40 hours a week than when you're a college 
student.
