RE fandoms: HP was my first and I too searched for "new love" with mixed results, which are:
Watched 3 seasons of BBC Merlin tv series on YouTube. Currently season 4 is in the process of shooting. Overall Quality: Mediocre. In retrospect I wouldn't recommend watching it.
Also intend to watch "A Game of Thrones" American tv series, which "will debut on April 17, 2011. In the UK, the series will debut on Sky Atlantic on April 18, 2011". ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_of_Thrones_(TV_series))
The trailer looks great: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BpJYNVhGf1s Like HP I believe there is a potential for tv series to be better than the novels.
If you would like REALLY good fanfic, the best I ever seen in any fandom, it's antepathy's Shadow Vector arc. Read all except "Dead End". Quality: Exceptionally High. http://www.fanfiction.net/~antepathy
"Let the Right One In" or "Let Me In" by John Ajvide Lindqvist Both the Swedish movie and the book are great, especially the book. The 1st Dark Fantasy I found (HP or Martin's SoIaF aren't really dark at all imo). Even wrote a post about it: http://elanor-x.livejournal.com/58541.html
