I can understand your dilemma, trust me. The same thing happened to me with Trek fandom, although I never was as active then as you were/are. One day, I realized I'd just lost interest. (Of course, that was pre-internet, so getting fanfic fixes was costing serious money ...)
Anyway, what I'm trying to say is, if you truly want out, go. As Selma and Eva said, it's supposed to be FUN, not a chore. (Not that I wouldn't hate to see you leave, but hey -- it's YOUR life, you get to make all the choices.)
On the other hand, what's wrong with taking it easy? Step back on the pressure, work on fanfic or whatever else when you FEEL like it, not because you think you HAVE to.
Most of all, take your time about the decision. Nobody's holding a gun to your head and making you stay or go, do they?
(As for PR, I'm not exactly gaga over PRWF, either. To tell the truth, the ONLY incarnation other than MMPR/Zeo that had me enthusiastic and inspired to creativity was PRTF. The rest ... just didn't. But I'm hanging in there ... the eternal optimist. ;-) Besides, I'd hate to lose contact with all the wonderful people I've met through the fandom.)
Here's hoping you make the right choice for YOURSELF. All the best, whatever that turns out to be!
