Yeah, no I don't think that fandom will die out, not completely. I think that, with the series over, there will be a lot of... I don't want to call them AUs, but PUs - possible universe - fics. Because we'll know (thanks to her closing chapter) what happens to most of the characters. But we won't - I'm guessing - know *how* it happened. Or what will happen beyond that in the world of Magic. This of course following the explosion of fandom that always happens after the releae of a new book and will probably simmer for another year yet. As for myself, I think that this series will always be a part of my life. I fully plan on passing it along to my offspring, along with Tolkein and L'Engle and a hundred others. And some day, if we're lucky, maybe fandom will be rekindled in our kids. I mean, hell, I only just found out that my mom slashed Kirk/Spock when she was my age, I'm sure my kids and I will have a similar revelation regarding Remus/Sirius :P
