Well done on the original fiction! (I have a few fannish friends who have gone that road. Maybe one day I'll join you all there...)
And yeah, you have some fandoms in your list that loom large in my own fannish history, particularly SGA. Stay around long enough...
Fandom got MUCH BIGGER at some point. My suspicion is that it started with HP fandom in the early 2000s. Recently, I was trying to explain to some younger fannish friends about how a person who was involved in a famous long-ago fandom wank was one of my mutuals on LJ, and that this wasn't as unexpected as it might appear. The only explanation I really had was "fandom was a lot smaller then."
