The first thing that will happen is a huge rush of discussion, followed by a huge rush of fic.
After that, things will slow down, but not die out--it will most likely, imho, go to the level of other "perpetual" fandoms, like Tolkien or Douglas Adams or Star Trek or whatever--a major factor in the fan world, but the people who have to be on the latest bandwagon will move on to whatever comes next.
For myself, whether I drift out or stay in the "permanent fandom" will probably have a lot to do with how it works itself out. Are there lots of interesting things to talk about.
