How do you deal with the lull?

So, what have you guys been doing to combat the dry spell? Arting? Fic'ing? Replay #112? Get into a new fandom? Watch a lot of youtube?

I've dived head first into WoW lore and such, because Legion brought the lore back in a Biiiiiiig Way. So that's how I've filled the BioWare hole in my soul.

Found any good DA things on the net? So far I've been enjoying the heck out of Ghil Dirthalen over on youtube. Nice lore videos! Some speculation, some character central ones, it's great stuff!

I'm generally multi-fannish! I have a main thing that can last anywhere from a week to a few years, then a few runners up, then all my past fandoms if I get tired of the first two categories.

Right now school is somehow (luckily) superceding all of fandom for the #1 spot. Dragon Age and Final Fantasy XV are the next two runners up. When I have free time I switch between my save files to get all the side quests and collections.

I actually finished DA2 recently, so my next goal is to finish all the DLC and collections for Inquisition. I have been putting off Trespasser since I found out how it ends.

I picked up a replay for the first time in ages (I was about halfway through Act 2 of DA2) and it was awesome to sink back into the world for awhile.

Even without new content, new fandom activities keep popping up. I participated in two fic exchanges this year, one dwarf-centric and one focused on rare pairings (generously defined -- I wrote a Bethany/Nathaniel fic). So the fandom is still active; you just need to know where to look. (I found both of these exchanges advertised in the fandom_calendar community.)

The new fandom I've gotten into is Critical Role, and also a little bit of Adventure Zone (although I've done less reading/writing of fic for that). Both scratch the role-playing-in-a-big-fantasy universe itch, which is nice.

Replay #112, and Stardew Valley. So far, those are the main ways.

You know I have my Dragon Age tabletop going. It's magnificent.
