LOL! I love your family metaphor. I guess an interesting thing to examine would be what constitutes a "mature" fandom. I would guess most are actually relatively short, 5-10 years (though the number that remain on life support seems infinite), perhaps because the canon source is rarely longer than 5 years. Which means, I suppose that "adulthood" would be considered anything after the canon source closed?
