I really do like the age demographic difference here on DW from what I'm used to on tumblr. As someone in my early twenties getting closed to graduating college, I've become something of an.. old person on tumblr, at least around a lot of the people I associate with. A lot of my followers are in their mid teens and then the core demographic that I'm around is 18-23ish college age. Seeing some people who are older than me but still active in fandom and just. being real adults here on DW is so cool. Y'all have kids? Real people jobs? Spouses? Do taxes? And still make time for fandom activities? It's inspiring and it makes me feel so optimistic. My cool DW friends are still having fun with fandom in their Real Adult Lives TM so why can't I when I become a real adult soon? Why can't I?

You're definitely not too old for fandom. I discovered online fandom late in life, when my son was in his senior year of high school. My oldest fandom friend is in her seventies now. There is no expiration date, apart from the one we'll all hit eventually.
