I can definitely see how the cultures of esp. your early fandoms have so different as to make comparisons impossible. My fandom experience has almost exclusively revolved around LJ(/IJ/DW)-based fandoms, making it much more comparable.
Now, post-HP, I'm in that odd limbo of "looking for a fandom," which is interesting and aggravating. At this point I don't believe I'll ever find another fandom (I haven't fallen in love with a new fandom since SPN S2, which I then fell out of love with between S2 and S3), and it saddens me terribly :o(
